just got back from Watford game, obviously a great result and a great time had
called someone out for being homophobic at the game, got repeatedly called a d1ckhead from a very angry an embarrassed man who carried on at it before later denying he'd ever mentioned Elton John's sexuality
train back a bunch of men being generally intimidating and singing songs about George Hirst hating Palestine. simply asked them why does George Hirst hate Palestine to which one of them said 'shouldn't start wars you can't win'
more and more of this weird behaviour going on at Ipswich games - witnessed a lot of this stuff in the past year where there seemed to be very little before
anyone else finding this quite depressing and a bit difficult to take? [Post edited 24 Feb 23:28]

I heard the Elton John comment and the guy denying he ever said it is a liar and in all honestly he was a complete and utter pr*ck who was shouting absolute nonsense the whole game.
At one point he was calling Matusiwa a useless c***

While I have sympathy with the original poster not convinced calling the offenders out is the best way to proceed. Surely it would be more appropriate to report the issue, first to a Steward and then, the next day, to email the club to give Ipswich Town an opportunity to look into it provide your seat number and indicate where those responsible were located.
It is an Ipswich Town problem , it may happen elsewhere but that doesn’t change the fact that our club has a problem that needs sorting.
Seeing how difficult it is to get tickets for away games it seems reasonable to assume the perpetrators are regular away supporters. The club might consider placing ‘watchers’ in amongst fans to help identify those responsible.
Then educate or ban them. |  |

Some bell*nd on the club bus shouting “let us through you nonce” and “hurry up you fat tart” at various stewards we passed near the ground.
If you’re reading this - yep, you’re a bell*nd. |
Blimey the standard of passenger has gone down hill since I last used one of those coaches,people were very well behaved and wouldn’t say boo to a goose 🪿 |  |

I don't usually comment on the forum but was this by chance around Row U on the left hand side? I heard a similar comment from someone around there in the first half, I wish I'd called it out but it was a quick comment - I moved seats second half. Embarrassing and depressing to see that amongst Ipswich fans, I thought we were better than that. [Post edited 25 Feb 10:21]

You can still call it out by letting the club know. | |

I heard the George Hirst Palestine chant as we were exiting Euston afterwards.
Absolutely bizarre and clearly moronic. I suspect if I asked any of those singing it to show me where Palestine is on a map, they'd probably pick out Portsmouth.
Personally, I wouldn't trust any of them with a vote on Britain's Got Talent, let alone anything important in this country.
Just a bunch of boozed-up idiots repeating a social media soundbite in the hope of sounding edgy and clever but, ultimately, making themselves look like clueless cretins. | | | |

I think you underestimate them. They are, after all, part of the Democratic Football Lads Alliance. |  | | |

You may have also noticed this but a lot of the racist or homophobic stuff seems to be coming from a very young part of our fanbase. Not the old racists stuck in the the 70's and 80's but from a generation we would hope to be far more tolerant and understanding as they have grown up in a multicultural country which far more progressive views on sexuality. |
Possibly, but I also think it’s a definite subset of that generation who are desperately trying to be something they’re not.
Same as my generation and the plastic hooligans who watched green street and all thought they were “lads” etc by playing at it.
I also think VT is right and that tolerating users on here who are frequently racist, supportive of racism and implied discrimination is a problem. |  |

It may just be me but since the point system was introduced I don’t recognise half the people I see when I go to away games these days.
Before when tickets were bit of a free for all I’d probably recognise about 80% of faces on an away day.
Where has this new breed come from? |
The issue is we’re getting older meaning newer people have come/are coming through the ranks  |  |

A lot definitely jumped on the bandwagon after the League 1 promotion, maybe even half way through when things were looking good, it was possible to build up a good points haul.
They will drop away again at some point I guess. | |
