I expect Sunderland and Middlesbrough are closer for you than home games, aren't they?
Yeah much closer. If I go to any these days its those two, but couldn't make either this season. Yours will be Coventry and Leicester wont it? Do you go?
Saturday games I have other commitments - and did on NYD for the Leicester game too, but I was (one of the few people) at Cov City. There was a fan video on YouTube from a Cov City fan afterwards and I could pick myself out on their video from the other side of the stadium!
I mostly rely on iFollow and the rare occasions we're on Sky these days.
Some were dickheads then and some are dickheads now. The style of delivering that dickheadness has changed that's all.
Total lack of respect too, things were far from perfect in the past but chucking beer and even worse things over fellow fans, families, kids, OAPs?! I'm sorry but I don't think that happens years ago, yes you could quite easily end up getting battered, which isn't great either but there was more respect for fellow fans and a level of basic human decency.
One of the big problems is lack of consequence, some of the sentences for football violence are massively out of proportion IMO but seems like the lower level anti social behaviour just gets ignored.
The coke obviously doesn't help, possibly time it got policed properly. Probably wouldn't take much to make most people think twice about taking it into the ground and disappearing into the bogs for a snort. Honestly I know the football is shit at the moment but are they doing taking narcotics at a football match!?! Save it for Saturday night!
And actually you couldn't "quite easily end up getting battered".
I was there as a teenager, through the mid 80's and walked through plenty of battles...but you really only ended up battered if you were out to actually join in with the scrapping.
Was always easy to cross a road and you'd be totally ignored, they were only really interested in gang vs gang fighting.

True. You can get coked up and throw a bag of vomit over someones head with impunity..but if you call him a puff whilst you do it, then expect a police SWAT team through your bedroom window later that night!
Absolutely! Maybe that's the way to deal with it, don't report the anti social behaviour, verbal abuse and sick throwing but just whisper in the stewards ear that they are using 'hate speech' and job's probably a good un!
I would actually hope that whoever chucked the sick could be done for assault, surely chucking bodily fluid deliberately at someone is assault? Probably on CCTV if they could be bothered to look. I wonder if whoever it landed on will ever go to an away match again, I would be beyond fuming.
Maybe proper ticketing is the answer, let all the little pricks sit with each other near to the home fans and the rest of us civilised human beings can try our best to avoid them.

True to an extent but with the odd exception, wearing colours to an away match was dangerous for that reason, as was leaving anything Town related in your car if you didn't want it vandalising.

Surely that’s still the case nowadays? As for the original point. Find the little scrote using cctv, take his season card off him with immediate effect and ban him for 5 years. He might even grow up a little in the intervening period!
If the topic was about knives or weapons then OK, but a bag of spew for goodness sake, if any of you had served in the army like I did, the naffi bar wasn't for the faint hearted, The things that went on in there was far worse, try drinking a pint of piss and spew that was handed round, as a minor example, you had to down it down in 1 go.
Agree in a way, but that was the NAAFI (are you sure you're ex-armed forces spelling it completely wrong? ) bar not a football match.
Been there, done that when it comes to pints of sick, rugby players think they're weird nutcases once pissed, try a night in the Sergeant's Mess or buck-shee NAAFI bar if you want to see messy
Marijuana also doesn't turn you in to a complete dickhead
It doesn't, but devil's advocate - neither does cocaine, generally. It can turn a dickhead into a massive dickhead, 100%. It can make someone convinced they're the most interesting person in the room - which is annoying, but that's about as far as it goes for the majority of people on it. It doesn't create dickheads.
Same as alcohol, really. Thirteen cans of that fruit cider shite might make someone more likely to throw a bag of vomit at somebody, but it's not the cause - that's the fact that they're a pathetic little scrote who's been emboldened by taking something.
Not condoning anything, btw - there's obviously a huge problem just now.
This.
Whilst not a regular user I have partaken several times whilst on a night out or at a gig/festival.
I've never felt the need to take it to go to football though, it's always been something to "enhance" an evening's entertainment, not something to start on in the afternoon.
Just made me more chatty, didn't turn me into some vile prick thinking I was 10 men, attacking older people, throwing bags of sick over unsuspecting football-goers.
Again, like you, not condoning its use, but the product doesn't make the person.

No idea why people take pride in admitting to participating in stuff like this.

Me either, I wasn't involved in the actual shenanigans, was working there part-time, plus it was when I was only 14-17 so wasn't legally allowed to drink, so obviously I didn't
Witnessed some horrific stuff first-hand and also heard some VERY sickening tales second-hand.
I certainly wouldn't feel pride in those actions either, but on the other hand I also wouldn't feel shame. People do strange things under the influence of alcohol
Our "youth" and some who should know better were a disgrace today.
Throwing up all over the place then sexually harassing the poor women who came to tidy their mess up.
Sang about three town songs at the start then "you're a town full of peados" at a bunch of families/disabled children.
One poor bloke who didn't so much as look at away end copped for the brunt of the abuse.Shame he wasn't allowed to have a quiet word with a few of them after, looked like he's be handy.
Queues of 10-15 lads going into the cubicles 2,3 at a time before and at HT.
It wasn't just the players that made me ashamed to be a Town fan today. I wasn't the only one in there today who felt like that

Are these bellends in attendance at home games because I never, ever see any of the little scrotes where I sit in the main stand and I don’t bother attending many away games anymore? These little dicks are only mentioned about when misbehaving at away matches but I’m assuming they also watch us at home? Just wondered from what vantage point.

I assume they go to home games with family and don't all sit together. Seems to be the closer away days that we really have the issue, I didn't see them at Watford or Southampton but were in full force at Rotherham and Blackburn.
Short away game, get as pissed as possible, get as coked up as possible and act like a dick
There were some right knobheads around me yesterday (pissed 15/16 year olds) so moved to stand with mates only for another group to create havoc trying to push in where there was clearly no room & not their seating area….like the game wasn’t bad enough it’s getting tiresome at away games!!!
Saw one of them passed out in the concourse at half time. Mates just stood around him carrying on drinking. A particularly nasty twat in Meadowhall wetherspoons on the way back insulting and trying to pick fights with other town fans. Iv got a thick enough skin to deal with pillocks like him but a couple of younger lads looked pretty scared from the situation. Not all bad as a group of young lads on the train making lots of noise but very polite and pleasant nature. It's easy to spot the ones on coke.

Yeah I have to agree we seem to have an abundance of 14-18 year old dickheads who probably need a good slap round the face. Some right clowns yesterday. They give it the big one due to the size of the groups they are in but on their own they are all weedy little lads.
are they doing taking narcotics at a football match!?! Save it for Saturday night!
