Trouble yesterday apparently… on 16:08 - Oct 2 by lizzibee
If this ever happened it would be the day me and the boy stop going to football. The banter etc with the away fans is all part of the experience. I've watched a rugby game and find the atmosphere so boring for this reason.
Then you'd hate the vast majority of German football where fans sit together, drink beer and those who want to make a racket and support their teams do so in their own ends. The emphasis is on support though - not hostility. The atmosphere is loud, noisy and vocal but with one or two exceptions, there is little or no threat. We have a lot to learn.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.

Brought up on German football. I'd hate to be sat next to opposing fans personally. Get many people disagree but would ruin the whole experience for me. I have no issue with hostility in the ground - all good banter. Should not spill out onto violence but that hostility make it a difficulty ground for opposition teams Moving towards prawn sandwich era

I've been on a train with rugby union fans abusing people and giving some young women a hard time. Gits will be gits

This is starting to become a worrying trend, back to back reports of trouble involving a number of our supporters....have we suddenly attracted an undesirable element to our games? Is it kids fancying their chances?
Either way it needs to be nipped in the bud quickly.
…is it a coincidence it’s Yorkshire again?

Tribalism is part and parcel of watching Town, and a large part of why I keep going. Dunno, maybe I'd get into it as described in Germany, can't say.
The up off your seat anger (cos that's what it is, not "passion") and banter and chest thumping is great! There is a very clear, thick old line though innit. It never, ever crosses over into physical violence, offensive abuse, or aggression against anyone, verbal or physical, outside of the ground.

I also saw bottles being thrown back and forth between fans in the Cobbold Lower and Wolves fans in the away end (not sure who threw them first!) this time last week. Does seem like our success is bringing out idiots, although I suppose it was bound to happen.
I imagine a few of them that think they have a point to prove will try to prove it when we play Norwich, and will quickly be banned.

Having looked at Griffins vlog, it looks inevitable that there will be disorder when Leeds rock up there later this season, if they have that half and half split in that stand.

Trouble is, there are plenty of people in the UK that can't leave it at banter. I've been hit by a coin this year (not at town I must stress). I've seen other stuff flying as well. It only takes one 'lucky' throw and someone gets blinded. Having passion for your team is one thing, as is banter with opposition fans, but when that spills into all consuming hatred it's something else entirely.
Town in Five was quite telling in context, a large number of home fans looked to react to their goal by immediately taunting the away fans, not even a glance at the pitch or the scorer.
Around 3:48 if the link doesn't take it to the right point. You can wonder again how they managed to score from that position.

This. Biggest fight between fans I’ve ever seen was at Twickenham - the police basically watched as glasses were being planted in people’s faces. Didn’t hear of any dawn raids, banning orders, loss of jobs etc.
Football is fine given the numbers of men watching it every week, in and around pubs etc.

Wednesday was a group of their yoof gathering outside the away end. They were looking for similar aged town fans not wearing team colours. I believe it is becoming a trend in football again. Not the same thing but at Shrewsbury last year, on my way back to the car, one Ipswich fan screamed in my face ‘Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that’ I was walking and chatting with a Shrewsbury fan and his granddaughter and was so embarrassed to be a Town fan. I think the vast majority of our fans are amazing but if I see Town fans causing trouble, I for one will report it and I hope I’m not alone in that. Stay safe and enjoy the football.
There's a line - I hate the use of the word snowflake but even I'm tempted here.
There's respect and ensuring no violence - but you were embarrassed by 'Champions of Europe, you’ll never sing that’? You may as well just sanitise the game if that embarrasses you. I wouldn't sing it - but it's really not that big a deal is it?

It's not a big deal, as long as it's not aggressive, no. It is embarrassing though.
