Like someone else on the thread, I was in 551 and there was aggro.
Let me start this by saying that if it was up to me I'd be standing at every match and I much prefer it away when everyone is standing.
However, am I that much of a **** that I would decide that I am going to stand up in the middle of 300 people who are sat (for whatever reason, it's up to them) and fuck up their day at Wembly.
No, I'm not. But there were a handful of cunts in that block who decided that they were going to do just that. I use that description because when it seemed to be pointed out to them that people behind them were uncomfortable and couldn't see (a young girl who looked, from 20 rows away, viably shaken by the goings on was one of those affected, as well as plenty of older blues) they then thought it was completely acceptable to completely ignore the views of the hundreds around them and threaten other blues, including old blokes.
Frankly, I am amazed it didn't kick off. And if it had I would have had no sympathy if these standers had got a kicking. And I am a stander myself.
It is totally out of order to put your own preference above those of the vast majority around you. Anyone who does so is a total bellend. When I am standing away, would I dream of telling everyone that they have to sit down cos I want to (I don't, but you get the idea). No, I wouldn't. My preference isn't more important than everyone else's combined.
A handful of the people in 551 were an embarrassment to the club. I couldn't give a shit if they go to every game and are the most vocal blues that you see at away matches. If you can't take into account the views of others then you are a shit human being (and a shit blue in my book too).
The stewards as well were total shite. There was about one bloke for 2000 fans and he did not fancy getting involved in all this one bit (I don't blame him on his own, he would have been ignored). I was quite a way back from all this but I think a copper appeared at one point and just gestured at people to sit down from 20 rows away and then pissed off sharpish.
I don't care how much bullshit you give it about being too passionate to sit. I bet I know blues who have been to far more games than you, far more grounds and have put far more into supporting this club than many who spout this shit. If they want to sit and the vast majority of people around them do then fucking do it. You aren't a MASSIVE blue if you refuse to an cause aggro. But you probably are a massive something.
And I repeat, I want to stand, much prefer it when we are and hope everyone is.
