Sometimes I enjoy watching old clips from the 1980s and 1990s, and I sometimes notice away supporters celebrating in the home sections. Was this a common occurrence, and didn’t it lead to trouble? When did it stop?

As a lad in the '70's and living in Norfolk most of my mates were Budgies. I would go and stand in the Barclay with them and support the away team. No problems.
The following Saturday was spent with Twinkle at Portman Road.

Even further back in the early 70's you could queue up and go into which stand you wanted. I remember London away games at several clubs where I stood in the home end with a family who used to take me on the supporters bus. Even on the North Bank at Highbury. Perhaps we were mad or naive, but there was friendly banter and no trouble. Sounds crazy now, but true.

Interesting to note when the Arsenal player went down in the area for their penalty, he just stayed there on the ground. None of this shytehousery of clutching the head and rolling over for 2 mins. How the game has changed, and not for the better

I mean that Derby game was something else. I hope this isn't going to be the norm!
