New breed of away fan

Yep, people defending the behaviour as boisterous behaviour would be the first to kick off if this happened in their local on a Friday night. Not sure they’d be quiet as tolerant if out with his wife and 30 city fans come in dancing on tables, chanting songs, call his wife a minger and chucking lager around.
I went to the game with my wife and daughter. A couple of blues thought it would be humorous to have a go at them because they didn’t think women should be at games. This has happened before to my two daughters.
At Basel last year we were in the main City pub. She went to the ladies toilet which was full of lads who told her to ‘fuck off’, they were in there taking drugs.
At Newport there was an older fella and his lad giving shit to everyone around for not singing, they were just load mouthed bullies.
Everton, three lads in the toilet cubicle, I can only imagine why?
At Burnley last year I said something about one of our players and the bloke (40s) in front turned round and was incredibly abusive, it was astounding.

The behaviour in the old days was poor but usually aimed at the opposition fans.
Now it seems to be aimed at our own and the weaker you are the bigger the target.

That’s why we continually get posts like the earlier one such as ‘boring old farts’ for disliking behaviour that is unacceptable, and for not condoning law breaking and for wanting to enjoy a football game without beer thrown over them or arguments for nothing.
The poor behaviour is not consigned to one particular age group, it’s confined to a group called ‘dick heads’.

May be it is time for me to give up....

“Big games and city fans scrapping with each other goes hand in hand “

Not condoning it at all, obviously, but I've seen/heard of blue on blue at plenty of cup semi's/finals/big games and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Liverpool away this season I saw a scrap because someone nicked someone else's pint!
 
Some of the people complaining about the younger fans didn’t go to many away games before making European away Day their main hobby.
I’ve been going to away games since the early 70s but unfortunately I’m a glory hunter where Europe is concerned as have only been going since Copenhagen in 2009.
 
Observation

Well my first away game was Leeds away late 70s that was intimidating.

I know it’s not the young exclusively it tends to be those snorting gear at the match a relatively recent ( last 10 or so years) and getting more common.

I don’t have a problem with it in the bars clubs but at the game it seems to make them behave in an aggressive manner towards fellow blues which isn’t good

Btw Note to the young , we all get older eventually.
