Bob Taylor is GOD Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 A Huddersfield fan wearing his scarf walked into the Lower Lansdown and took his seat - bold as brass.

Some cracking players and well organised. Saying that , we looked like a set of players today, not a team. Very poor. All about opinion, as ever, runner. I watched the 90 minutes and I thought they were poor - their passing was particularly bad. That said, they deserved their win. I think the TV will be struggling to come up with many highlights, but then unfortunately that applies to Town most weeks nowadays. The lack of excitement is almost palpable.

Just realised my mistake, so Bob Taylor is God is wondering what the heck I'm prattling on about - not that OTIB doesn't think that most of the time- and it's probably a good thing I didn't post a photo, as BTiG would not have known how to take it, so to speak! As you say, there is only 1 purple potato masher, although Anne Summers are planning to introduce it as a new product line next week ( but it might be Lakeland!)

Fair play to him...just wish you could do it more often without trouble. I'd travel to more away games if I could watch from the side. I hate watching football from an end. Unless you go hospitality, or do as our Huddersfield friend did, then you have few options but to sit in an away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 away supporters in the home stands never bothers me so long as they behave themselves. It was great in the old days when well behaved and decent fans from both sides could actually have some banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always sit down the side if going away but would never wear a scarf etc.. Only downside is that you've got to keep it down when we score. Don't know of another sport that segregates supporters like football does although I guess we have more meatheads than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here if I can. It gets more difficult though with memberships to clubs etc. A lot of Clubs abroad have 'neutral' sections, where tourists often sit. I'd like to see that introduced in grounds if possible...especially if they rarely sell out. When I have sat with away fans on the side, it irks that I've often had to stand up and clap when they score, just to keep alive so to speak :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my younger days, I would have ejected him! I must have mellowed over the years If he behaved himself what’s the problem. When travelling away I like pubs where they accept both sets of supporters for friendly chat and banter, such as the Stratford Haven when we visit Forest, and the ground should be no different. As one of the 99% who behaves themselves at football matches I hate the ‘need’ for segregation, especially on seated sides of the stadiums.

It makes me feel very disorientated watching players coming towards me. I often think about buying a ticket in the home stands at away games, for that very reason.

weepywall Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Nothing against it myself as long as they behave but is it not an offence for away fans to go in home sections ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfcredandwhite Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 I read on their forum that one of them arrived without a ticket expecting POTD. Maybe that was him - and someone smuggled him in? I’ve watched games in with the opposition before - Swindon’s County Ground many times but also Preston on one occasion at Deepdale. It’s ok as long as you keep quiet, behave and don’t wear colours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I have sat with away fans on the side, it irks that I've often had to stand up and clap when they score, just to keep alive so to speak Years ago I took my then 6 year old son to Luton. We sat in the main stand down the side amongst the Luton supporters. I had explained to him the need to keep it quiet, even if we scored. In the event, we won 3-0. Boy showed admirable self-restraint for most of the game. There was a moment though in the first half as the ball was played out to Mickey Bell. Mickey was taking his time over the cross and was about to get tackled by a Luton player tracking back. The Kenilworth Road silence was shattered by my son shouting 'man on Mickey' at the top of his voice. Am happy to say that hilarity broke out in our bit of the stand and we had a great afternoon chatting to some very good people. What football should be about, imo.
