Yesterday really highlighted to me a key reason why away games are so much more fun. You don't get the same number of performative a*****s who abuse our players for no gain whatsoever. I sit in the SBR upper - why are you swearing at our players for a mistake when they can't hear you? It must purely because you think it makes you look better. Please, lads, just get some therapy.
That's before we get on to the abuse of Kasey.
Clearly away matches have people like this, but they do seem to be thinner on the ground. I'd be interest if people agree or could point to why that is.

A rise in the 'geezers' on the booger sugar at matches probably doesn't help. |  | | |

'but they do seem to be thinner '
That's a bit sizeist, but probably true... |  |

Think you're right there. The ones from saturday were all 20 something men so would fit the bill. | | | |

There seem to be a lot more angry blokes around in general over the last few years, across all age groups. Most of my time is away and we’re actually not too bad compared to some other clubs’ crowds I’ve occasionally been in. We’re quite passive and good mannered, although we also seem to have a relatively large family/female following.
So I can’t really comment on FPR. Last time I was there I was in the upper SAR and I’m pretty sure the old fella next to me had a few snoozes lol. He definitely was’t abusing our players. |  |

Well if it is numbers you are interested in, there are x10 more town fans at home games. That might be a factor. Is the problem ten times worse than at away games? |  | | |

I gave up playing football this year (aged 30), partly because of the sheer amount of players I played against who wanted to vent their anger in the pitch. I was wasting my time with blokes who could not control themselves when I could have been spending time with my family.
Unfortunately, the world is also a bit rubbish which leads to a lot of people struggling. Plus therapy not only takes emotional commitment but also financial commitment if you want to avoid long waits. The more we talk, and normalise talking about emotions, hopefully our next generation will be better able to cope with the challenges that life throws our way. | | | |

3 things I did notice Saturday from the the SBRU and heard people comment on..
1. Moaning at players- it doesn't help, it's a work in progress and we are in a realy good position with momentum and finances to support. This is no longer the Evans era.
2. Pet hate of mine, not the people who leave early, but please , again wait until there's a break in play.
3. Has the goal line at some point got nearer to the ' North Stand' ? On occasion it seems harder in section 3 to see the ball hit the net clearly!! |  | | |

I thought going to the football was the therapy. Always used to be that way. An escape from the everyday where you can meet your mates, watch the football and actually yes, sometimes swear about the players. It's just a football match and as you say, the players can't hear you. That's kinda the point. |  | | |

The whole world seems so aggressive now doesn't it. There's absolutely zero tolerance of others peoples beliefs beit, religious or non religious, opinions . I think people have lost the ability to communicate with others now. Social media is anoutket platform and people lose all semblance of social restraint. Things are " said" on a SM platform with total disregard for personal responsibility, and bullying is rife because theres no accountability anymore it seems.bI suspect 90 % of " abuse " on here simply wouldn't happen if people were actually talking fa e to face with obe another.. The younger generation simply dont know how to interact with people anymore becuase they live their life in cyber space, on line, in chst room on a forum . The normal rules of behaviour simply dont exist in this environment and the problem is it dpills out |  |

Not everybody in the stands wants to hear that tho - and hopefully the players can't hear them.
Apart from anything else, there are lots of quite young kids at the game who could be put off going by angry , growling , sweary fans. We want to keep them interested for the future of the club, surely?
I'm also in SBR Upper and am fed up of all the negativity I can hear so quickly, if we're not playing brilliantly.
We've got to give the team time. Last time I looked we were third!! |  | | |

The younger generation simply dont know how to interact with people F2F because they live their life in cyber space, on line, in chat rooms on a forum etc. In those environments the normal rules of behaviour simply dont exist in this and the problem is anger, frustrstion, lack of empathy, the ability to pick up on intonation from the typed communication is lost from normal face to face dialogue. You dont even know what's real anymore or AI generated.
Society and social intersction has changed so much and especially since Covid. So many people are isolated and working from home. We are a social.animal. and its unravelling. See Adolescence ( Netflix) for how communcations are affected by interaction via SM. There's a massive decline in mental health, especially amongst males. Society is in a right ole mess now tbh. I wouldn't want to be a young person growing up in this world now..... | |

The fella in front of me took the defeat at Middlesbrough very much personally, I'm sure in my teens I was angrier than I am these days, but that fella I'd say was in a bracket closer to my current age than my teens |  |

I don't think it is especially new though, I remember being at Ashton Gate for an away match in, I think, 2015 and having two or three 'supporters' behind me letting off C bombs at Knudsen the whole time. When I turned to them and pointed out we had three kids in our party it was if they didn't know what they had been doing. Well at least I didn't get a punch in the face but the idea that you go to a match to be as obnoxious as you can be rather than to watch a game of football is pathological, if that is the right word, it seems, it operates at a subconscious level.
So, referencing Frimmers thread on reporting the abuse, I think there is a lot to be said for asking people who continually swear because they can get away with it in a crowd to just give it a rest for a while so that everyone else can concentrate on the game. This doesn't apply to the occasional outburst, which I think is something most of us are prone to, but to the continued overuse of abusive language. If you then get threatened for asking for the respite that is when the stewards need to be involved. | |

Most definitely is a vent. Let steam off. | | | |

Awful in the SBL, I had to write to the club after I challenged someone for shouting homophobic abuse, then from there had his very intoxicated mates giving me plenty of verbal. The same person is constantly screaming and shouting all game, a very very angry young man. |  |

I doubt people who lack the emotional intelligence to deal with their team not being on top are suddenly going to start worrying about other people. It’s probably all related. Those who can’t control their anger and spend games abusing our players are likely to be amongst the ones who flounce off early in a huff. They need to go on a ‘building resilience’ course lol. | |
