New breed of away fan

[Original Halifax.]

Its not just a football problem but a society one. Go out to any town or city on any weekend and drug taking is rife sadly.

I was thinking the same thing.
We were next to the home fans, and there was a moment (just after Schalke had equalized) when a full pint came flying over our heads, and hit an unsuspecting home fan on the back of his head.
Everyone laughed, but I remember wondering how they'd feel if the Schalke fan filled the plastic container and threw it back.
Would everyone laugh if it hit a young kid?

All harmless fun apparently, until it is returned

Well it certainly isn't small minority either.

I think generally with these things it is a small minority but even if it’s 5% that’s potentially 150 blokes behaving like tools which in a confined space can be intimidating to some people.

Whilst it’s not on the same plane as getting a good kicking, I disagree, as it is a big issue to the person who gets unwanted beer all of them.
And do it to the wrong person and it may well lead to the aforementioned kicking. Sometimes a bit of boisterous fun can get out of hand.

Yeh fair

It’s been like that for years, nothing has changed. People are also far more violent on booze, can’t blame it all on drugs. The fights I’ve seen at City games have mostly involved blokes in their 30’s-40’s.

Well next season, many will be getting them from the ballot.

The majority on here would've absolutely crapped themselves if they'd been at West Brom in Nov 87. Never been safer at matches today and City fans are Angel's now, don't have a problem with them at all.

I agree
I was with M18CTID
at the game with my grandson and funnily enough we never had any bother with any of the age groups.

Mind you I am still capable of telling anyone to fvck off if they go to far and back it up if they don't.
We got a little bit wet but I would be a total hypocrite if I complained.
Compared to what I have seen and done over the years a bit of lager is small time.

As I say if they go too far deal with it and I'm sure they wont want to repeat it in the near future.
We had another great trip btw.

Lager is much better back in the day it would have been a bottle of piss.
