Some Of Our Fans

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Went into the fox and goose in Ealing before the game and it had a fair few Sunderland in who were recovering from the night before and the look on there faces when a coach load of blues arrived was golden.

We had a proper good time with plenty of singing and banter and they came across as decent fans who hated the Rags and they were glad we had got rich overnight.

After the game these same fans were the first to congratulate us and it made you feel good being in the company of genuine football fans.

I hope they stay up and hope to see them at Wembley again in FA final

Went to last years Final and this game was no where near as bad as that, 90% of blues were out for a good time with no bother we all have our Danny Dyers though

You can't get 32,000 people descending on a event some 200 miles from home without a small proportion arriving pissed and fully stupid to boot. Even if it is only 1% then those 320 in 20 groups of 15 or so can end up egging each other on even further and before you know it most areas will feel the affects.

The real problem is booze. Ban it for all I care. Bearing in mind children attend these events and they are not family meals, why is alcohol even allowed to be served?

What I will guarantee the OP however is that the Sunderland end of the stadium will have been very similar.

I think it's because we live in a free country.

Not that you'd know it if it was a European game.

In any case do you think a single person rocked up to the game sober and got pissed in the ground?

Possibly not. However I suggest that the concourses and toilets would not be quite the beer and urine drenched hell holes they end up being if it was impossible for any more alcohol to be purchased inside the stadium.

Probably not. Although I personally would describe a bit of piss on the floor as maybe a bit unpleasant rather than a hell hole. And certainly not a reason why they shouldn't be allowed to sell it.

Not just City fans it would seem

Is there a common denominator here? Earlier on some people were trotting out that we have changed because of our recent success, what excuses would they have for the Sunderland fans fighting each other?

Blame it on the Beer, some people should not be allowed to touch the stuff, for their own and societies good

Like every club, simply a microcosm of modern day British society. Zero respect for anyone else yet they demand respect for themselves.
Sadly the more success we get the worse it will become - a fact of life in modern Britain I'm affraid.

The City fan you met on the return to Bicester was a good lad though;-)

Had a horrible day against Wigan in block 552. Great seats on the halfway line but surrounded by drunken idiots not even watching the game. Got lucky yesterday in 547. Ended up hugging the total stranger next to me after each goal and the final whistle and surrounded by people who were only interested in the game. With regards to the Sunderland fans sitting in our vicinity - yes they shouldn't have been there it was the right thing to move them on but shame on those City fans that thought they had the right to take the law into their own hands, even if the Stewarding was crap. This is the one thing that will make me turn away from attending live games. Mindless violence - no need for it.

Sunderland is indeed a religion.
