Middle Aged Men of the West Stand

[Vegas Seagull]

Supporters in general are not as nice nowadays as they were in the 70s and 80s , i fondly remember being showered with thrupenny bits and the odd 2 bob when travelling to certain grounds by home fans eager to show their appreciation that we came to visit their ground .

The only time I have been hit hard on the head by a coin was in the Chicken Run FA Cup QF v.......Norwich

I've never been hit in over 40 years of watching ....i feel i've missed out

So you applauded them ? Pass the sick bucket someone.

No, I didn't clap them but I do applaud them. If the Albion get to where Norwich have been over the past 10 years on the pitch we will have made some progress. I hope Hughton can be the man to do it.

All this complaining about some of our fans clapping their attendance but nothing about them giving our ladies' team a great round of applause as they passed the south stand with their cup.

A funny thing happened at Fratton Park when I was about 12, some Pompey fans were getting hit on the head buy some kids chucking biscuits

If any Albion player's performance is genuinely affected by the location of the visiting team's supporters, then a career in professional football is not for him.

The extent to which fans everywhere agonise over this issue is laughable. Perhaps imagining that they really do exert influence over events on the pitch derives from a sadly misplaced sense of entitlement and a desperate need for some kind of recognition. (cf demanding that the players and manager clap supporters post-match)

We're not where we are in the table because of all those nasty visiting fans and where they sit. Or stand. It's rather more to do with too many of our players being not very good.

I remember the Stoke fans clapping us last time we were at the Britannia.
