[Albion] ajax fans tomorrow night

[Sergei's Celebration]

Know it all midfield general, that’s quite funny and probably true sometimes, fair comment.
I will put a check on myself, sorry.
I stand by handbags though, compared to stuff most of us have seen before.

To the 13 year old girl in front of me (see vid on other thread for where I was standing) it wasn't handbags. She was very scared indeed.

Some people on here may think having barriers thrown around is handbags but there were others there who didn't share that hard man attitude.

It also amazes me that some seem to have a threshold of an acceptable level of violence at football games.

Was there no beer on sale in the away end!? Noticed at HT none of them left their seat

Maybe they only had Fosters?

Nope there was none and they weren’t happy about it at all.

Why!? Seems very strange considering they were being held back after the game anyway to prevent any trouble

No idea but heard it from someone that works for Sodexo. Presumably it was a police or “safety” decision. They were particularly pissed off at being held back with no beer while they wait.

About 30-40 minutes I think. Just as I was getting to the front of the mill road park & ride queue loads of them suddenly started aimlessly walking around the coach car park. It seemed like they had been released but nobody had pointed them in the right direction for buses to the city centre. About 400/500 people just milling about in amongst all the buses looking very confused. Some ended up on mill road buses accidentally.

If that a UEFA thing or did the club decide that?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Bit underwhelming weren't they. I get that they probably don't have much to cheer atm but still...

In the league table of Europa visiting fans it is very clear it's this so far:

1) AEK Athens
2) Ajax

Didn't really turn up did they. That said if my team defended our half like that with no attacking intent I think I'd struggle to get involved as well.

Looking forward to Marseille turning up with a little more punch, both on the pitch and in the stands.

Punch may well be the keyword!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Met a really decent couple of chaps on the concourse, gave us tips on Amsterdam and were loving the advice to keep a low profile should they score and the watery Heineken.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

No that was handbags

Actually think it was a BINbag being thrown.

Really looks like the non slip mats they put out when it's rainy

No beer but maybe we’ve found the location of c15,000 missing burgers
