[Albion] Away fans in the North Stand

[NorthstandRacoon]

Well it’s quite clear I am in a minority ON HERE, I know some who would agree with me, but, it was just a slight nighle to me. Despite it being an exceptionally good day.

I was surprised to see one in the WSU with his shirt on before the match !

You failed to spot Peter Hook in the white hoodie

Amazing day and result yesterday.

However, it irked me a bit to see away fans coming into the stand after the game. This is an absolute no, if they want to socialise, go into the pubs in the city centre.

Call me old fashioned but I love the tribal nature of football, so, having a couple if Wolves fans suddenly come in yesterday for beers was too far imo.

Out with anger in with love.

Away fans welcome if peaceable, especially after a spanking. Fair play to them.

Is that a premium service you are offering ?

What next, having to stand next to away fans on the train to/from Falmer?

 

[Questions]

I wouldn't. If you tip-toed through the North Stand, even with your boots on, you'd get your head kicked in.

People are not so brave without their bottles and hammers, carving knives and spanner’s nowadays

Probably and I am only 30.

Well, when you grow up, you might appreciate their friendly approach. I remember meeting Wolves fans in pubs in Brighton after a game at the Goldstone and they were a great bunch.
There was no other option to have a beer after the game then.

It happens in Dick's Bar

Think you know what I mean

I don't know what you mean

It's always been weird to me that home and away sports fans are segregated in Europe. Complete opposite in North America, and very few scuffles occur as a result of the co-mingling. Even more true in polite Canada, lol, whete we enjoy our beers in our seats during a game. Alcohol seems to bring rival fans closer together... Go figure, eh!

If we had 20/30 groups of away supporters spending money in the home concourses whilst waiting for a train into the city before making the most of the weekend visit the experience would be enhanced in my opinion. I'd welcome the chance at away grounds

Oddly my Twitter timeline is beginning to get topped up with Stateside fisticuffs, across all sports.

TBH I didn't think you guys had it in you.

 

[kojak]

I've got no problem with it
Although it's something I wouldn't do when on the road
But that's because I have a long memory
Ironically at Wolves (Wardy hat-trick)
When we received a visit from the home fans when they opened the gates

Are you really suggesting America is a role model for non-violence?!!!!!

Wtf where have you been since the Amex opened?

Er, no. I'm French-Canadian. I live near the US border and refuse to cross it. Half my tweets are me telling 'Murkan right-wing nutjobs that their country is a grade A shithole compared to every other civilized nation.

Don't you EVER dare call me American again, or I'll go to your house and gift you a bottle of authentic Québec maple syrup and a two-four of Molson Canadian!

The US had been swirling down the drain since Reagan allowed biased media to flourish. If there's been violence at sporting events down there, you can blame the culture war and resulting polarization of their society, since the GQP is entirely bereft of any concern for the country and only seeks to pit ordinary citizens against one another so they don't notice the 1%ers owning 90% of the economy anf lusting for even more.

Good point. But I still find it a little irritating, maybe I should be older and transport back to the 70’s.

Or maybe you should just recognize this as the 21st Century!!!
