[Football] Trouble at the game ?

clapham_gull · Feb 1, 2020

Couldn't really see what was going on, but saw at least a couple of home fans ? attempting to climb over the segregated area and subsequently get arrested.

A spoke to a couple of Brighton fans in the way back to the station, who witnessed something else quite unsavoury at the time

Won't repeat because I didn't see it.

Did anyone get a better look ?

Is this in regards to the West Ham supporters being homophobic pricks? Got a little feisty for sure.

Homophobia throughout. Took half an hour for anyone to do anything about it. East end knuckle draggers

Chavs.

Lovely that we had the last laugh where it counts.

I was privy to a pair of seagulls fans offering to knock each other, and anyone who told them to shut up and support the team, out...for about 10 minutes. There was a slight unpleasantness in the air.

I told my dog to shut up as she was barking during my rants

Was listening on the radio, they were saying things were thrown after the Murray goal (I think they mentioned it was thrown at our bench?)

At last! A thread about today with which old Droopy can add some contributions. He must be Overjoyed.

Warren said a cup of something or other was thrown in their direction. Johnny checked if someone was okay at the end of game. He was on air as he did it.

WA and Johnny Cantor were saying things were thrown at them, I believe their producer was hit.

Drunken early 20s sons of cockney wankers?

Do such creatures exist? Shirley knot?

An elderly Brighton fan with no colours was the victim of a vicious unprovoked assault by a young WHU fan whilst walking back to Hackney Wick post match. Literally smashed him to the ground and knocked clean out. Assailant was pursued by WHU fans and identified and subsequently arrested, victim attended to by paramedics in the gutter. Assailant has been charged with ABH and WHU Director of Operations has now confirmed the assailant will be banned for life. Shocking scenes.

How is the elderly BHA fan? Hope ok?

That’s awful. In fact it reminds me of an identical incident back in 1978/79 season. We’d just played West Ham at Upton Park and drew 0-0 (I think). Came out of the ground to find an old boy, probably aged about seventy, wearing an Albion scarf lying on the pavement with blood pouring from a head wound. Apparently attacked by a group of West Ham’s finest - got to love those Cockney geezers eh?

Scum.

Hopefully upgraded to GBH later in the process, and a decent sentence.

Respect to the fans who chased wnkr down.

But NSC’ers ageing hard men tell us it was all chivalrous.

Absolute disgrace and good on WHU fans on catching him.

seagullwedgee · Feb 1, 2020

Agreed. Absolutely heroic WHU fans for chasing their own thug down. Honestly didn’t think this sort of thing still happened.

Weststander · Feb 1, 2020

When we leave stadia, I sometimes say to be aware of the potential for a sucker punch, rather than seeing wholesale trouble. At the Amex in the PL seasons, there’s been the occasional cowardly attack by an Albion fan post match (covered later by media and a club statement).
