[Albion] Arsenal fans in home stands
- Thread starter The Fifth Column
- Start date
The club would rather kick out shouty home supporters who tell away fans to f*ck off, than celebrating away fans.
That has nothing to do with the violence of 40 years ago.
Other than Fulham, I’m not sure other clubs take that stance. The fortress might even be liked to help generate a nightmare for away teams.

Was there also ,in the North West corner , even one of the Chelsea players was arrested that that day although of course we do go on to sing him .
Chris Hutchings, from getting arrested on the Goldstone pitch to playing on it
Chris Hutchings went from being arrested on the Goldstone pitch during a Chelsea riot in September 1983 to playing on it for Brighton three months later

Do you honestly think that’s the case? More likely that it’s away fans being singled out in the home sections that are escorted out rather than shouty home supporters - unless of course the home supporters are being complete knobs to all around.
You missed the nsc wsu post yesterday then.

About 10 minutes into the game this man walks up the steps in N1D videoing or streaming the game on his mobile , I immediately thought (yes i was stereotyping) Arsenal TV had joined us, couldn't hear of he said blud as he made his way along the row 3qtrs of the way to the top

Quite a few new faces on the North shelf yesterday along with a number of half and half scarves but no celebrations were seen
A couple of sheepish teen bluds helping the police with their inquiries on the W upper concourse yesterday after the game.
I do hope they got home safely to Worthing, later.

Slightly separately I have seen people saying that the reason the stadium emptied so quickly was because of Storm Kathleen, which I cannot stop laughing at.

When the second went in, the moment it hit the net I was on my feet just staring in disgust, some geezer a few rows back was screaming, I assume at me “sit down fella! sit down fella!” like you would if you wanted to have a go at an away fan but you were really posh.
I was gonna drop my trousers and display my (previously) lucky BHA pants (they’re the only colours I wear) However, I thought better of it.

How long were you banned for Harty?Unfortunately yes, but it is what it is, as they say on some far off Island, can’t go into specifics until I’ve had it clarified by Trading standards.
But when I know you’ll all know

That’s the issue
or at least one of them!I could be wrong here, but in my experience if you buy hospitality you tend to be put into either a specific corralled area of the East (top of the lower) or in amongst the 1901 West Middle where they’re used to away supporters (who are allowed). I don’t think hospitality customers are ever put in home areas.

I started this thread last season so your reply is a year late. Thanks for the patronising advice though, not needed as that's what I did hence why they were booted out 90 seconds later...last season.

No you pay your money, be it The Goldstone, HB’s, Mullery’s or the Mayo Wynne Baxter, and the said fans get almost a polite request from the relevant lounge host not to over celebrate in the event of an away goal.
Some of the Roma contingent, aside from getting pissed, were openly vaping in the West Stand.

One where I was sparked up an old fashioned fag. Stewards couldn't get him out as he refused to go!

We had a trio in the east 1901 who openly stood up and cheered Trossard on as he went through on goal, nevermind jumping up and celebrating the second. Surely they need more than a polite request?

This is clearly going too far…far...far…

Quality over quantity
Had a pair of Arsenal fans next to me in the WSU (one had an Arsenal background on his phone). He started filming the Saka penalty so just before he kicked it I, rather aggressively, nudged his arm messing up his video. The pair then left on 35 mins, didn't come back until 55 mins and then disappeared again at 85 mins. Could also be due to them seeing the 2 kids get escorted out from the block over and a guy behind me shouting "f*** 'EM UP" very loudly.
