The correct word is Vomitorium but all stadiums just say
vomitory. "to spew forth".

And the source of a myth that Romans had a special room for
throwing up at their feasts.
They didn't. They just had exits.

More or less, except that you might have meant to write
"vomitories", rather than "stands".
But, in general, I agree, no good moaning on an internet
discussion forum. You might as well write to "The Times".
Complain to a steward, paid, or unpaid.

Stool huggers glance at as many stands as they can left and
right whilst in front of a single vomitory!
"Complain to a steward, paid, or unpaid"
Once you are in your seat you will have no contact with a paid
steward, only when you leave to the concourse!

equalised, then he quietened down. My friend is female as were
many around her but at no point did anybody say anything to this
vile person about his language or racist rantings. I’m sure
there are many reverse situations but this sort of behaviour is
out of order either way.

As you say, there are reverse situations - I was in West Stand
middle by the North tryline and had to ask a Scottish supporter
to stop going on about English See U Next Tuesdays (except he
used the shorthand!). Was told to F off. Didn't bother with
stewards just wished the guy well and that I hoped he enjoyed
the game. Truth is that if you put 80,000 people togther you
will let some idiots in. Combine that with alcohol and....
Been to Twickenham loads and never had this before so hope it's
a one off.
