Some thoughts, and request for clarification.

How will people feel about BHA going into the away end at say West Ham this season, are all those voting no going to tell them not to for safety reasons?

The real question raised here has been overlooked: Why arent we selling out games anyway.

Another important question we should ask ourself is why do we still have to worry about opposing fans mixing with each other? Is it destined to be like this forever? What could make football change so we dont need segregation? is it possible to move on?

Most significantly though, and i address FG in principle but would like any other suggestions is WHAT THE f*** ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT ? ? ?

unless you propose some method to stop it, then why bother maeking an issue of it.

Can we establish whether this thread is a complaint about one or two away fans finding tickets in the home end, or a discussion about whether complete integration of fans should be introduced into football?


The two arguments for and against aren't very clear as to what they're arguing.

Good point.
Away fans shouldn't be allowed in just on mass.However as I've said before if we can't sell out and the away fans just want to watch football with no trouble then don't see it as a problem.As long as police and stewards do their jobs.

I take it all these people will NEVER sit in the home end at an away game then?


Imagine this scenario...
You're playing away the last game of the season and you need a result to get promoted.
The away end has sold out.
There are loads of spare seats in the home end.

What do you do?

Sit in the home end and stay quiet?

Stick by your principles and not attend the match?

A bit like at Reading a couple of seasons ago.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:
We all sat quiet until Harty scored.
