Mmmm It sounds like the older generation are having a moan which in my mind thinks they never went away in their youth as they would of been through a hell of a lot worse than a couple of pissed up lads falling over.

I prefer away games being sit where you like - you don't actually select the seats in the same way we do for home games, you get allocated them randomly anyway. This means the singers and vocal types can go back and centre and create away atmosphere, everyone else can select a suitable place for their group, ie elderly and families with kids might prefer towards the front etc - whats the problem?

I agree with you and generally speaking I would say the away end polices itself pretty well. If someone gets to their seat 20-25 minutes before kick off and someone is already there more often than not they move or shuffle along. If you try and sit in your allocated seat as the teams are coming out the tunnel it's just not going to happen. For most away games this isn't a problem because, as previously mentioned there is an unwritten rule that the more vociferous supporters go to back and those who want to sit go down to the front. The issues tend to come at local away games when we have bigger away attendences and allocated seating is more strictly enforced and you have a mixture of people who expect to sit/stand where they like because that's what they do every week and others who expect to go to their designated seat.

Think people are missing the point here. It's got to be everyone sits in their allocated seat, or its no allocation of seats and sit where you like. The combination of both causes the problem.

Why has it? It's simple. Sit where you like but if a dad with his kid asks you to move because he can't find 2 seats together then you should move. If it's pissed up Joe Bloggs and his pussy patrol then they can **** off. Like I've said, I do it and like it but have respect for dads/families with kids. That's all I'm saying.

Seaweed! Seaweed!
Not read the whole thread,but when i started going in 1988 such incidents included letting off fireworks,nr bonfire night games,drunkeness,urinating inside the actual stand,even a bloke collapsed after sniffing lighter gas from a canister,surges,the odd fight among home fans and even a few arrests,all this in the Goldstone Northstand...
God only knows what the 1970s and early 80s were like
Edit: Celery how could i forget that,also blow up bananas and seagulls among other inflatables..

An element of truth in this. There used to be a lot more to think about !

They must be the same hard-core retards that were in front of me at QPR away last season, gobbling off about how we were 2-0 up and weren't going to lose.
We all know what happened after that......

Seems a shame to let it put you off. Similar can happen down the pub and the best advice is just to walk away and remember why you are there in the first place which is to have a great day out and support the team. Don't let them ruin your day.

Where do we go from here?
Side with the drunken lumpen proles, ruining someone's experience, so much so that they never want to return, rather than the fan who just wanted to enjoy the game with his partner.

Thanks. A flick through zoo magazine usually does the trick.

Could always read the thread before commenting.
The op is the one not planning to return, he is not the one to which the incident occurred. I don't think anyone has or would condone some drunk falling on somebody's partner surprisingly enough.

Just to clarify, I am not planning any more away trips. I shall always be at the Amex, where I sit amongst normal human beings.
