I didn’t see that, hope she’s ok. From what I saw it was a couple of lads a similar age to those who got chucked out who helped them on their way.

[Albion] Arsenal fans in home stands
- Thread starter The Fifth Column
- Start date
If you did see anything - even if you saw her do nothing - then maybe an email to the club might help her. She was getting a right talking to by the stewards.

Got no problem with a few away fans sneaking in the home end, we’ve all done it, but why act shocked and get upset when you then get chucked out for celebrating. Bizarre! What did you expect?!
Hopefully she’ll be back for the next home game, with an apology. Or else something will have to be done.

Who gave Keir Starmer a ticket then!!!
At almost every club in UK/Europe nothing adverse would’ve happened to her.
From the club.

Unfortunately it’s market forces, all the time away fans, in this case Arsenal, are prepared to pay £300 plus for corporate hospitality in ‘home areas’, there will always be potential issues at matches.
I know Newcastle & Spurs plastics who are Members+, they go to one game a season, at the Amex. Easily done, cheap compared to using touts.
Two directly in front of us (usual STHs weren’t there so presumably exchange purchases), never heard a peep out of them. Junior saw one typing ‘can’t celebrate the goal as we’re in the home end’ on his phone

We had two Americans along from us with half and half scarfs, they actually looked a bit shell shocked by the whole thing. Strange pair…

Where? If you see any then alert Stewards thats what the club would want and if you didn't why didn't you you clearly like me and no doubt others don't want them in the home stands so you need to take appropriate action. And yeah they are pr1cks

Its disrespectful indeed regardless of age gender or anything else the fact, the only fact that matters is they are AWAY fans and the ground regulations prohibit this (in home areas)

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Gave up bothering about this.
Pre Covid, there was a guy in the East Upper wearing Everton colours,/celebrating their goals when we played them. Pointed this out to stewards. Told me he 'wasn't doing any harm'.
Same match, guy we know was warned for using, shall we say, 'Robust language'. Laughable.

Email club. Its a clear breach of ground regulations. That said I can see if Stewards arent bothered its hard to muster energy to follow up.
not a kid now…..that pic has been circulating for at least 10 years

As I mentioned, it was pre Covid, October 2019 if I recall right. Stewards were clearly more interested in bad language from home fans. Hence it seemed pointless complaining just to receive a bland, anodyne stock reply. Plus we won with a late own goal and the guy got (well deserved) pelters.
Whenever we play one of the 'big' clubs, there are a smattering of fans in our area. To be honest, it doesn't bother me that much if they keep quiet. I did the same myself at Spurs last season. Sat on my hands despite the ridiculous refereeing. Not that anyone world have noticed as the people around us spent the whole game on their mobile phones.
