"We will be increasing our own monitoring through extra liaison with other clubs and the vigilance of our own travelling stewards.
The club will not hesitate to impose sanctions on any supporter who misbehaves in future. Possible penalties include a significant loss of loyalty points or stadium bans"


From the bottom of my heart, f*** off. The club are actively sanitising our fanbase to make us more appealing to tourists. Been happening for years and the state of the Amex atmosphere reflects that. The one thing we have supporter wise a respectable away following. They'll end up turning every away end into the one at Liverpool this season.

First half going by tv/radio it appeared the Albion support was loud. Second half subdued due to the tide of the game and home crowd.

Very much this and I suspect all those complaining about the club message are in the latter and also the ones banging on about the home atmosphere and trying to lecture us all about the manner in which we should watch football.
What a load of presumption that is, I don’t feel the need to be lectured every week to be on my best behaviour. I behave 95% of the time, and I don’t need to be told like a child what to do. Try not to hurt others, but most people do not have bad intentions.

Sometimes you end up in the aisle because it's that or nothing if travel doesn't work. I'm normally there an hour at least before but sometimes as Graham would say, it is what it is

I get the extremely badly worded point but not all of us clogging up the aisles have been on the Gary's. I guess that won't cut any ice when the bans are handed out though
Exactly, the seats at most of these grounds are tiny, there’s no way you can fit everyone in a lot of the time, but if you don’t want to be a dick and stand on someone’s toes or stand in front of them, you naturally end up in the aisle. To suggest anyone who does that is on coke is a load of nonsense.

To be fair every year at Fulham the fans who cannot bear to stop drinking until a minute before ko pile into the stand and can't be bothered to find a seat so just stand in the aisles.

As for surging, come on getting bruised shins is all part of an away game
If only they were allowed to have their beer in containers with tops on, so much less beer would be chucked around.

Still, it is an unequivocal fact that all arbitrary rules have unexpected consequences, even ones that PB cooks up.

Sussex but not by the sea
The nanny state - the nirvana of CEOs and MPs for decades. 1984 levels of surveillance and digital control are making this a distinct possibility in our lifetimes.
Football is religion to a huge percentage of the ‘lower’ classes - as was the case hundreds/thousands of years ago the ‘rulers’ desire to control what controls and influences these classes - it was no fluke that football was the first entertainment to be rushed back during COVID.

You find these coked up morons at any mass event, footie, racing, festivals, you name it. But if we’re concerned about the atmosphere and keeping football an escape from life then are they any worse than the 1901 guests who contribute zero to said atmosphere and just drive up prices?

I too am fed up with these communications from the club.

They are going to get a nasty shock when the safe standing area in the North doesn't turn it into the Dortmund home end.

What is it about Fulham that attracts our prime twats? One of Potter's last games was a complete nightmare. Five lads utterly wankered ( and one who looked coked up) spent virtually the whole game throwing abuse and making cut throat gestures to the home fans to our right. Said Fulham fans were mainly families and not remotely interested in ' engaging '. Finally one of my mates lost patience and enquired ' any chance you might actually watch the game ?". To which the coked up one squared up to my mate virtually frothing at the mouth.
🥱 Okay Dorris. Can I suggest you start following bowls, it would seem to suit you much better.

Starting to get pissed off with the patronising emails coming from the club.

First they send you a shit email if your season ticket seat is empty, having partly created the situation themselves by only allowing tickets to be passed onto a MyAlbion+ Member.

Now this warning that we're all being watched at away games.
Pull up your knickers and make me a cup of tea.

FFS.

Anyway, It's a man's game. So why are these women moaning?
They shouldn't of been there anyway.

Give it a rest.

Just because some of us, don’t want to be patronised every game, doesn’t mean that we’re sexist, racist whatever, what a load of patronising shit.

Unfortunately that behaviour was witnessed by my wife at the Fulham game and she had to intervene to stop a group of lads abusing others.
That’s a shame, but to brand everyone who thinks this is all a bit patronising as that, is a load of shit really, its not just football it’s through all of society. I’ve fallen over before after scoring, I’ve stood in an aisle before where there’s no seats, doesn’t mean I’m sexist or racist, what a lazy stereotype.
