Probably because they’re concentrated in one stand.

Because only the real fans go to away games so get behind their team for 90 mins.

Fairly simple really.
1. Away fans tend to be the most fervent supporters, hence why they’re willing to spend a lot of time and money following the team across the country.
2. The tribal mentality of football is intensified as an away fan, where you’re heavily outnumbered and completely surrounded in “enemy” territory. It invokes a siege mentality.

The best mentals are when you're in a tiny little pocket of boisterous away fans tucked away in a huge ground like Old Trafford. Or even Elland Road... |

No question. And especially between the 70s and mid 90s. To be honest, in my experience, the accounts of mass disorder were hugely exaggerated. Aside from anything else it gave those with an agenda something to focus on ("the youth of today is going to hell in a handcart" - actually much like the Mods and Teds in the 60s and plenty more before and since). And it gave lazy journalists an easy recyclable story. But when you went to an away game (late 70s for example) there was an edge that has almost entirely ceased to exist. And almost certainly that is for the better. |

These days it looks more like a pensioners club whose idea of a good day out is a coach trip to Leicester Forest East motorway service station. It was all about the day out back then. To go to football was something you wouldn't mention in polite company. It was universally frowned upon. Kind of a social taboo like visiting a prostitute. If someone said to you when you got back 'How was it?' They weren't asking for the score or whether we played 4-4-2 or one in the hole. Then Gazza' tears and World Cup 1990 and the Premier League and all seater stadiums came along and blew it all away, the party was well and truly over, the end of the 1980's really was the very last dance. |

That’s not true. I go to loads of away games and I’m as miserable as fuck. So are you louder away or at Home ? I moan a lot home and away. Not just when I’m pissed. I usually slag one random player off at kick off, hoping that it will backfire and he will actually play well or score a goal. Jones has jinxed that ritual as they always go on to play shit and never score a goal. I’m running out of players to slag off, as they are all shite at the moment. |

The day out was multi-faceted, and an integral part was discussing what you were going to do on Saturday night. A bit like a scene from Diner. I must say I hadn't dated the end of the party to Gazza's tears, but that's not a bad shout. Incidentally, what about visiting a prostitute who was no longer working, perhaps in her (or his) retirement home? Do you reckon that would have been taboo? |

I thought we could all list at least 2 or 3 former prostitutes among our friends ?  |
