Posh with no money and it seems going to football is more important than a haircut and some half decent clothes
You have lost me with the thread title even more now, what was you going to type?
Not sure what you mean by " just as well really "
CCTV see most things in stadiums that the police and stewards don't.
Does seem a shame that you have been put off from going away again because a handful played up, as I've already said nearly 3,000 Albion fans behaved at that match.

Not happy with away fan behaviour recently myself but totally disagree with this. Sitting in the allocated seats is a big part of the problem. Some of the other posts on here have persuaded me that the reason I felt things used to be better (and I've been to a lot of away games) is that I could easily steer clear of the twats. Now you just get lumbered with whoever. If people sit where they like, the muppets are magnetically drawn either right behind the goal or close to the away fans, leaving everywhere else for the other 99% who want to watch the football (Plenty of non-muppets too in those other areas too, of course). On top of that, must say I prefer the fairness of 'sit where you like'. Nothing worse than finding a decent spot 30 minutes before kick-off and someone strolls in at 2.59 insisting it's their spot. It also gets round the problem that those who buy earliest always seem to get the worst allocated seats as it seems all clubs sell from the margins inwards/upwards/downwards.
Always surprises me people don't photograph these idiots and name and shame them.

Not read the whole thread,but when i started going in 1988 such incidents included letting off fireworks,nr bonfire night games,drunkeness,urinating inside the actual stand,even a bloke collapsed after sniffing lighter gas from a canister,surges,the odd fight among home fans and even a few arrests,all this in the Goldstone Northstand...
God only knows what the 1970s and early 80s were like
Worse. A lot worse.
Just one lot of gratuitous violence after another. Going to games in an atmosphere of simmering tension, knowing it could break out at any moment. Hoping you could avoid any trouble spots but on edge a lot of the time. Outside of pure fighting, there was always property damage. Nothing was out of bounds. Car windscreens, aerials, shopfronts, street signs. Brick/rubble throwing was commonplace. Anything went as a weapon. Iron bars, baseball bats, metal combs, knives, chains, razor blades.
The numbers fighting were staggering sometimes. Two or three hundred. Chasing through streets, over gardens, through shopping centres and train stations. Cars being turned over, set alight, trashed. You expected it from Leeds, Millwall, Cardiff, Hull and Pompey but almost every other set of fans were at it, to some degree or other.
I remember going to a Tottenham v Arsenal game in the early 70's. I have never seen fighting like it. At the station, all along the Seven Sisters road, around the ground, inside the ground, everywhere. People standing laughing as fans were headkicked to the ground. Crushing against walls and gates and fences as fans were desperate to get clear of any trouble.
It sounds pretty awful but it wasn't every game. It just depended who was in town. In those days, certain fans were happy to fight anybody, so it didn't take much.
Football symbolised the social unrest of the day. It was an era of protest, strike and violence. Thankfully, we now live in quieter times.
I was there with two lady friends, three seats from the poor girl who was felled. Standing only, if you wanted to see the game. There was the problem, too many twats in row FF (speaks for itself), they have a reason to shove some drunkard forward and the girl disappears under a torrent of abuse and foul language. Then the twats in FF start to rant at girls male friend as if he was to blame. They were obviously so drunk they could not help themselves. Moving from my seat to get my ladies clear of the area I had to hold back one twit who seemed to want to do more harm to the young lady in question. Fortunately, she had the wherewithal to calm the situation with a few tears and repeated requests to the perps to calm down. I love a good bit of banter and chanting and the clever use of foul language, BUT, the torrent of foul 'support' from row FF was, to say the least, f***ing useless. Every other word was an expletive, even after the incident.
As for calling for an officer or steward, must be joking, they were too busy pitch side watching boisterous home fans !
I hope the girl is ok and continues to support our great team. I hope the FF bunch sort themselves and start to respect others.
This was not an incident that was due to the game, it was a bunch of stupid, pissed, twats who have no respect for others.

Okay mate. Whatever.
