I don't mind if away supporters are in the home end but as long as they don't take it over the top and celebrate goals from their team and show respect to the home fans! Some absolute a***hole in the row in front took it a bit too far singing arsenal songs as well. The stewards did nothing and let it happen until one of the fans had enough and told them that he was taking it too far. Do you believe away fans should be able to sit in the home end as long as they show respect to the home fans?

I was in the chelsea home section supporting bradford yesterday,i was pretty respectful but blooming hard not to go berserk,a few that did got hustled out.

Yes, to be fair his mate was innocent in the whole incident. That will teach them

His mate wasn't totally innocent as he was singing an arsenal song prematch and thought he had got away with it, besides they had to go just because he had his cap back to front!

If you go in the wrong end you are taking a liberty and you need to keep quiet. If you don't you can have no complaints about either getting a lot of hassle, or getting thrown out.

The only way I could get to see the Brentford game in the last round was in the home stand, and you just don't celebrate - and that is a relatively low-profile game by comparison to today. If you can't contain yourself, don't do it.

Arsenal fans at Falmer post game - Background - A man of age (I'm talking mid to late 40'S - not that it's old) who should have known better - who thought it prudent to wear what can only be described as a 'Burberry' pork pie hat (odd I know but I bet a few on here spotted him) decided to take an unnecessary and relentless umbrage with a 'Stand up if you hate Arsenal song' whilst queuing. Given that both sets of fans were bouncing songs off each other in a lighthearted manner (we were massively outnumbered), even a few 'I can see you holding hands' and 'you're too ugly to be gay' all in relatively good spirits, it seemed totally unnecessary that he would call us out!? It was all a bit of banter and a few young Brighton lads who were unchaperoned, but of an age where that may be necessary, stoked the fire further.

Anyway one thing led to another and whilst I was hiding behind the 13 year old, thinking I would be safe as only a complete lunatic would cripple a child, a Brighton lad pushed over the 80's throwback hooligan and told him to sod off. They proceeded to have a go at the young 'uns and the Brighton boys stood their ground and questioned why they were being complete cretins. As you would imagine they didn't take too kindly but did disappear only to reappear with some sort of vegan, bagel eating posse at the platform. Unfortunately for them they showed their hand too early and were swiftly escorted away by the old bill although some quite nasty threats were made on their behalf. I know there is one particular poster who castigates those who call for a 'policeperson' (so PC) but they were very welcome.

I have to say it is the only trouble I've witnessed at the AMEX, bar the Millwall knuckle-draggers breaking the lines into no-mans land last month, and I was surprised it came from this lot as I had imagined they were all privileged banker types who live in Sussex and can actually afford their ST. Turns out JSA and possibly by the look of these guys DLA can actually stretch to a North Bank ST..... Well I never

Apologies for the long post, but further to this several Arsenal fans backed the Brighton and actually asserted their disdain for this particular asshole, suggesting he had previous, and were upset that he gave them a bad name. Seems a bit too nice to me, they must have been from Bognor.

To be fair, that milf woman could just be wearing a red and white scarf


Unlikely, I know...

She could, yes. But the Arsenal shirt underneath it made me extra suspicious, y'know?

Somewhat surprised she was allowed in dressed like that (and the sheer front of it: if I went in the home end, even at the Emirates, I'd at least avoid wearing a blue & white scarf). As somebody has already said, I wonder if they'd have allowed a bloke in under the same circumstances.

...I wonder if they'd have allowed a bloke in under the same circumstances.

Would and did, Edna. Bloke in the West Lower in the next block from me in an Arsenal shirt, clearly visible. Contrary to ground rules - why have these rules and then pick and choose which ones to actually enforce? Light up an e-cig in there (not that I've done this - never been a smoker) and see what happens. But this seems to be OK.

We've all done it - I've seen Liverpool win at Old Trafford three times, and been extremely pleased in the process, but you sit on your hands and keep your mouth shut out of respect for the home support, for one thing.

Only downsides to games like this - ticket touts at the station, shit unofficial half-and-half scarves being sold, and people turning up in a Brighton seat in one of the billy big-bollocks club shirts.

Colours or no colours I reckon most Albion regulars could pick out the undercover gooners.The quiet one I can just about put up with but if they show their hand hoof em out I say before a regular gets banned.

We had two bold as brass (with a steward just behind them to be fair) walked through the North Stand bar area, and as far as I could tell no-one even spoke to them. Remarkable self control by all I thought.

[MENTION=249]edna krabappel[/MENTION] mentioned a particularly drunk Arsenal fan who was sat near her and her Dad. Suprised he wasn't ejected.

Most chelsea where wearing half/half scarves and seemed a bit confused on which team was chelsea!

Exactly Rev, bushy was also at The Brigde for that match and thought it was Portsmouth at home against Hull City until a Lincoln City supporter behind him pointed out that Bradford play in amber and claret and not amber and black. It seems to me as if the lines are being blurred and that one day we'll all just support one big amalgamated club and wear, not a half and half scarf, but a scarf of many colours. Altogether now: "I closed my eyes, drew back the foreskin, to see for certain..."

You said earlier, you were in the home end, yes ? Well so was I, In answer to your first point , no they weren't, and in answer to your second point, er , no they weren't, now I KNOW Chelsea has changed , but this post is just typical chip on your shoulder , small club , lazy stereotyping that almost seems as if you're expected to say it to justify what a 'real' fan you are.

Looking for a certain pub on the fulham road asked around 10 (chelsea fans) only one had a clue and that was wrong,only person who knew where it was happened to be bradford!
