Our home support has nothing to do with how we play at home.

Yes absolutely
Go a goal down away and generally the support is still 'we can get back in this'
Go a goal down at home and its 'here we go again'
Of course if you go up 1.0 up away it's understood you might just defend that lead
At home go ahead and there is more pressure to look for more goals
Generalising of course

Isn’t this the case at every club?

It's not a surprise. Away fans tend to be the most committed as they're prepared to invest a lot of time and money into following the team so they also tend to be the most passionate and more inclined to be vocal.
Not saying that home fans are lazy, there are plenty of fans who are just as passionate and would love to go away but money, work, family etc stops them. Or they used to be regular away goers but life has changed along the way and they can no longer do it regularly. It's just that you'll get a far higher percentage of less passionate, more casual fans at home than you'll get away.

Statistical analysis has proven that the percentage of away fans who are intoxicated is significantly higher. It's no coincidence they're having a better time, are louder!
Simple, home fans should drink more!

Simple, home fans should drink more! For sure home fans are thinking too hard and not drinking enough, twas ever thus. The last time you could safely watch a Stoke game sober Mark Hughes was at the helm. |

Surely that’s just standard. Fans who follow their club away are more committed and “fanatical”. As a home only attendee and not really having enjoyed that very often for a good number of years (since we’ve been shit) I’d say I’m far closer to chucking it in altogether that being motivated to want to go to away games, so maybe a word that is a shortened version of fanatic is not an appropriate description.

Would be better to go to just away games when practical , much better experience |

Mainly because more fans stand up and are drunk. People wont like me saying the standing part, but every single ground that I’ve been to that has had a decent atmosphere had a large pocket of supporters standing, and that’s where all the noise comes from!
We need a standing section as soon as possible, maybe the whole of the new corner?

When purchasing away tickets you are advised to buy them near to the back if you want to stand.Doesn't make much difference as the majority don't sit but it does create a better atmosphere.
Mainly through being pissed off watching matches on my PC when we were in lockdown,I made a conscious decision to go to a lot more away games than I had previously and to be fair even though
the teams performances have been mainly rubbish I find away days more enjoyable.

Surrounded by a hoarde of over enthusiastic drunks wanting to get up and go to the bog all the time isn't my idea of fun. Not that I've got anything against drunks or being drunk except when I've got to get up everytime they want to piss. |

Todays away support was no different to home support. Quiet, frustrated, angry with audible boos and outright abuse of certain players

Have played enough sports to know that if you can't shut off external noise in order to do your job, then you are no professional.
Pitched in a game at Clemson (Red neck capitol of the world) where the opposition crowd were hurling threats & insults, and (even though I'm not black) the "N" word, the multi-syllable curse words we all love. (To describe past managers usually) shining lights, throwing objects onto the field etc. Point is, if I'd have paid attention to any of it, then it would have gotten into my head. I wasn't aware of anything that was yelled until we were leaving and they were throwing rocks at our bus. And that crowd was NOTHING like the idiots at Texas A&M, calling our hotel rooms at 3 a.m. the night before, threatening all sorts of things etc.
No sympathy for anyone making what these guys do not being able to tune-out crap being yelled by pissed-up loudmouths. You are there to do what? Yes! A JOB. Then DO it.
Now when they start throwing stuff, can't tune that out (And they need their asses kicked) but you don't have to listen to the garbage they spew.
If they are using this as the latest excuse, sorry - don't buy it and that would greatly piss me off. Control a ball, pass a ball and kick it into the net ffs.
It's what you're paid to do. Seriously. Whether they're booing or cheering, what YOU do stays the same. It's called execution.
Come on!
