At that same game a group of Norwegian Stokies were attacked by Stoke fans who thought they were scousers...I guess it depends who you sit near on the day Did they think they were Norwegian Liverpool fans or just thick getting mixed up between a Norse accent and a scouse one?! from what I saw, and was told later, they were a group of 7 or 8 and some knuckle draggers decided they were Liverpool and didn't bother to check before they started trying to kick them out

Ive taken a chelsea fan in the home end at stoke and the stoke away end at chelsea, we just want to see the game together, no bother. Also as a stoke fan by your mates account of them looking smug so must be away fans, i cant say that i looked overly unhappy when for instance I saw accrington loose at home to newport, but does that mean i should be thrown out as I support neither. Go to nfl games where all manner of fans sit together and no trouble happens Is his name Dayne by any chance? ?

There were three Bournemouth fans in the row in front of us at yesterdays game. Easy to spot because they looked happy for the majority of the game bordering on positively smug. They weren't vocal or celebrating the goals. Well behaved and decent enough, two guys and a woman.
I was talking about this to another fan today and he said that he would have approached a steward to try to get them kicked out. I have the opposite view as long as they're not causing any mither. What's the view on here? Would one of them have been this smug cunt?!! m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1653946817989279&id=100001219314819

Why automatically presume they're a fan of ether club? Don't a lot of people constantly point out the fact that nowadays it's harder for "Real fans" to get a ticket because of the amount of "tourists" that go to matches who aren't fans of those playing but just want to see a Prem club? Are we now just making the presumption that that issue only effects the "Big boys" (so we can moan at them) and that once again we're special and different to every other club out there? My Aunt and Uncle were in Stoke the other day for instance to visit relatives. They had their 2 grandsons with them, neither of whom support Stoke or Bournemouth but they went the game simply because they love football and it was a match being played in the city they happened to be in for the day. Happens all the time and as long as none of them cause an issue i really don't see the problem myself. if you read my post it was pretty obvious, i dont think we'd be talking about it if one hadnt over celebrated, he looked about 60 and probably should have a bit more common sense and maybe respect beung in a dedicated home fans section.

Pretty pathetic isnt it And just who actually thinks they have a right to judge then have a go at someone for how they celebrate a goal? What the fuck is that about? 😂😂 I went Burton a month or two ago and didn't celebrate the goal as I would normally and I think it was pretty obvious we were out of place but we had a great day just watching football for football. says the most judgemental person on here ! I go to watch football all over the place myself, never have any trouble if you respect the locals area

We are all football fans I wish we sat together a lot more to be honest. Watched a game in Spain earlier this year and plenty of visiting fans in home areas with lots of banter but no problems, the way is should be in my view.

Having experienced a rugby final at Wembley where fans are mixed together instead of segregation I find football matches much more easier and comfortable to attend. The bitterness between opposition fans created abuse and fighting all way through rugby game. A lower tier block split into 2 with opposition fans fighting in big groups. Not been a rugby fan and having corporate tickets I was just there for the experience but I saw many fans too scared to celebrate around me when their team scored it was unpleasant to watch.

I've been in numerous away ends in the past, it was easiest option as not from the Stoke area. Also plenty opposition pubs. Craziest situation I had though was when I went in Boothen paddock (Stoke and side of pitch) back in about 84' with a mate from my town in Yorkshire who supported West Ham. It kicked off as there were some Hammers fans in there, bangers and fireworks were thrown and we ended up getting turfed out with the gang of West Ham by the cops and taken round to the Stoke end and put in where West Ham fans were! I couldn't really remonstrate as I needed my lift home with my West Ham pal!

Anyone who has been going football for any length of time is likely to have at some point been in the wrong end. There should be no problem so long as you respect the fact you are in the wrong part of the ground and respect the people around you.
However, there is an exception to be made for glory hunters especially the local ones. They should be booted out and banned from attending games for the rest of their lives for crimes against the game on the basis that if everyone was like these feckless twats the professional game would cease to exist.

I think we can safely say they were Bournemouth fans despite the experts on here who er .....weren't there. It would be interesting if they answered the question posed instead of going off on a tangent and arguing the toss about whether they were Bournemouth, Vale, neutral, Arsenal fans up for a trip to Waterworld, Barcelona fans trying to see if Stokalona still exist, somebodies auntie Vera and uncle Jack up for a visit to Gladstone with young Kevin and Stacey
Make it up and then argue the toss

Fulham is the worst neutral end mixed fans that's shit Twas the best ground in the Premier league. Park on the Embankment, stroll across the bridge and into the park, grab a pork stuffing bap and enjoy the riverside walk up to a proper old ground

My one and only time in a home end was away at Man City when we won. Christ I can't tell you how tough it was keeping a straight face and quiet when Mame put it past Hart. I was sat on my hands and my arms were visibly shaking. Never ever again. Bollocks to that, I’d have gone wild and risked the bruises. Years ago it was done on a regular basis including at home just for giggles. Mind you, I was close to the poor bastard who got smacked & lost his eyesight at Wembley, so i suppose shit can go sideways quickly. No-one gives a shit about the away fan in the home end so long as they don’t win. I exclude the Shit, Arsenal (like they’d dare) & Liverpool.

I bought tickets in the home end at Crewe a few years ago and promised I'd sit tight if Stoke scored. I needn't have worried, when we did score the whole stand erupted in celebration. god that was a few years back. i was there old 3rd div i think crwho/ gave stoke a tiny allocation so you didnt have to be einstein to know that stokies would try to get tickets for the home end.was it tuppers diving header that won the game? that was a mental and half.

i can remember one occasion in the 80,s we [myself and " mates] in the stoke end seats[think they from ladsanddads?] anyway it was also alan hudsons return to the vic and we played arsenal. so there we sat and we won a penalty we jumped up and shouted yes which we duly scored again another celebration next thing we were surrounded by gooners so the stewards kicked us out and made us go in the stoke end paddock!!!ffs [that where the main body of arsenal fans were] i was just hoping we didnt score again lol

I've done it at other grounds, so I can't really sit here and complain. I think if they're not doing anything provocative it's fine, obviously wildly celebrating in peoples' faces would be a step too far.

Why? I remember being at the Hawthorns when Ric scored more or less right at the start of the game and Beattie scored in the 2nd half. I was in the VIP bit which are the rows right behind the normal, paying West Brom fans and went mental for both goals. The worst i had was a couple of lads throw some chewing gum at me while laughing. All the rest were friendly and enjoyed a bit of banter throughout the 90 mins. None of their fans minded at all, it's not the 70s anymore where it'll cause a full scale riot! People have moved on nowadays and the instances of people kicking off etc. are thankfully largely gone now. As others have mentioned, all rugby games have mixed crowds and they all seem to get along just fine whilst enjoying several beers during the game as well. If people kick off during a game, then it says far more about the people kicking off than it does about a person who happens to be sitting in the wrong bloody seat!

And you aware that even the very last year of the 90s was nearly 20 years ago now aren't you???? Of course there are still issues at some games (like there are at virtually every event where large numbers of people gather) but they're very rare compared to what they used to be and the vast majority have jack shit to do with people sitting in the wrong seats and FAR more to do with pissed up neanderthals who are looking for any excuse to kick off on someone. They're the kind of people you need to worry about, not a couple of fucking Bournemouth fans!

One older bloke who was sat next to the one who was celebrating did stand up and venting his anger everywhere, veins pumping on his temple, leaning over the guy ...
