Fighting

It can be non City related too. I guarantee one or two of us have enemies who support the same club.
 
At least a few posts are linking the aggression to the tour causes of this behaviour.
With an ever increasing population mixing drugs including prescribed anti psychotics/depressants with alcohol, with rises in the amount of people being sectioned for a wide variety of mental health issues.... why is anyone surprised?

A consumer led society fucked up.

I somehow doubt we wouldn't of seen this behaviour if we would of won 6-0 on Saturday.

Frustration has also played it's part.
Drink/Drugs/Mental Health Issues/Frustration at results as we have eventually become this expectant fanbase due to the investment.
 
Always been there seen fighting on the specials in the 80s also in boozers mostly away days a lot down to personal issues non football related.
 
It's not anything to do with newcomers young fans. There are dickheads who follow our club home and away. There always has been, there always will be. I don't see why you're complaining anyway, at least you left the game with something to talk about, I'm surprised you hadn't fallen to sleep watching that crap!

There's definitely been manifest signs of this at away games I've been to in the last couple of seasons.

First noticed it at Anfield in 2014, when rather naively, I couldn’t understand how so many young lads had the time to get so manically drunk, for an early kick off.

Far worse was their aggressive response when a bloke and his clearly terrified young daughter attempted to get to the toilets.


It was exactly the same at West Brom last season, but this time the intimidation drew a nasty reaction from a group of older lads (I know some of the people involved and the root cause was definitely drugs)
It happened at Burnley, and I recall reading about a similar incident at Palace, although depressingly the original complainant was predictably slaughtered , along the lines of “Man Up” and “Name names”


Yes, we had the odd incident in the 80s, but I attended nearly all the games, and there was never anything as consistently uncomfortable as this.
For now, we’ll sweep it under the carpet, until one day something really terrible happens.

The elephant in the room is the rapidly expanding drug culture, that contributes to random acts of aggression, not just at City away games, but other teams as well.
We can all remember isolated incidents from the 80s, but nothing as consistently uncomfortable as this.
Mind you, in the 80s, if you went to the toilet, it was usually for a piss

Indeed, Wembley the other week was again completely out of control, the toilets were awash with drug taking, or at least the ones near where I sat. Would you piss on your toilet floor, or all over the seat, not flush a snapper away, or simply drag somebody out of the way so you could get to the urinal. By the way, whoever it was, guess you won't do that again, and no I didn't hit him, just gave him a tweak in a pressure point and he hit the floor like a sack of spuds, all in the piss. I digress...!
This beer throwing lark in the concourses also, what's that all about..?
People that drunk, they couldn't stand, fighting amongst themselves in front of kids and the elderly in the stands, why.....?

In Wealdstone FC where we parked and a few days later at Anfield they completely blocked the way jumping and shouting, spilling beer.

What do you do in this event?

No use asking them to move, they are all miles away with fairies.

Just stay where you are.

Or shove you way through.

On both matches I chose the last although very apprehensive that they could easily turn on me in the state they were in.
 
So, reading between the lines, the number of incidents have increased this season. Nothing too major, but lots of little minor skirmishes, that largely go unnoticed by the vast majority.
God knows what will happen next year, especially with away tickets being cheaper

Haha...

I was slaughtered on here a few years back for putting one of these Chav coked up scrotey shits in his place when he ran to assault me... "you can't hit a 17yr old" blah blah blah.
Yet now there's even more of them and now everyday match going blues are getting the brunt of it and feeling the pain.

Clubs should designate a soft mat play creche area in the away end for these lot to smash each other up and snort the marching powder :)
I love the atmosphere just like the next man but when safety becomes a concern it becomes less enjoyable seeing kids/women/elderly struggling to get through concourses packed full of young lads (including myself at times) bouncing around.
 
I can honestly say I've never had a significant problem as a Blue in the near 20 years I've been attending matches.
 
i only do European aways these days,very rarely do League or cup aways...always makes me laugh when i see a thread asking "where everyone's meeting up"?...i make it my business to go in the opposite direction of where "everyone's meeting up" so i can actually have a decent piss up without it being ruined by dicks running round like headless chickens like they've never had a drink or been out of the country before..
