I dunno, I did see someone near me only applaud them for a meagre 10 seconds this week. That showed 'em.

I'm glad you don't have any say on the running of the club.

Good grief.
I dislike every other clubs too to the extent that I'm ecstatic the marketing department (who I junk emails from) are all over the away fans.
Do you honestly think this isn't about cash ?

Coloured lights and posters in the away end, plus having people who serve the food and beer in opposition colours does not help.

Don't judge everyone by your cynical outlook; there have been plenty of away fans posting complimentary comments about us, regardless of the outcome of the game.
I doubt it costs that much in the grand scheme of things. If it persuades a few more away fans to return next time then that means more money for the club and a better atmosphere.
Even announcing it ... why?

Ok, maybe an exaggeration, but fans generally fans are more complementary about The Amex when they win.
As far as this thread is concerned, I have no problems welcoming away fans. We want them to come back, and spend their money.
If we were winning games, and higher up the league, this type of thread wouldn't even be started.
agreed fvck them they are all northern monkeys !
pretty sure most fans dont travel to an away game because the ground is nice or welcoming, you travel to support your team end off. We should make it as horrid as possible in my opinion. Never stopped me going to smelhurst and thats is shite hole.

my next door neighbour (Middlesbrough) fan went to the game, away end of course & showed me the leaflet after the game when we went for a beer. We both thought it was cringeworthy

Gotta love this. Talk about black or white. It's either have a Woodstock style love-in or hatred and prejudice. How about we just accept they are there, let them cheer their team then leave.
Same as when we go away generally.
Aaaah, there's no cash in that.

At away games it's something I listen out for, always like to know how many we've taken.

So do I.
Our attendance is announced at the same time, so how do you know the applause is for the away fans? It could just as easily be for the number of home fans.
The applause stops, the away attendance is announced - more applause. Seems obvious enough to me.

I have just posted on another thread that we should be proud of the way we treat away fans.
But that poster and applauding the way attendance is pathetic and embarrassing.
Surely its up to the home fans to produce an intimidating atmosphere.

I'll be honest and say I've never noticed a break in the applause, therefore I'm not embarrassed by it.

It's only Home fans that moan about the transport.

Yesterday, when the total attendance was announced, the Middlesbrough fans clapped. They were impressed by how many we have at home games (and why wouldn't you be when we play like that) and they all applauded.
Then Albion fans applauded their attendance. And why not? Hating people who follow another football team is so 1980s, and we all know how shit popular culture was then.
