The Humble Realist Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 After events at man city... Why do fans (especially younger ones) fight or believe they should? Why do fans (in east end for example) charge at the stewards by the segregation...what does it achieve? This isn't a post to provoke argument...more a question of interest ....to try n get in their heads. Surely its more than booze n rivalry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they know it won't succeed and they won't get hurt, if the stewards stood aside and said 'go on then get on with it', they would shit themselves.

Welcome To The Jungle Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I would venture a guess that it is a way of venting our inner caveman. We are predators, as well as highly territorial (most wars are caused by this). However in modern society, it is unacceptable to punch someone or fight. However, when another football team comes to town, it's like our territory is being invaded. So we intimidate using the mob for protection. It is for this reason that people (including myself) say things at the football at opposition fans and players that outside of the ground you would never dream of saying, because we're nice people right? Edit: I, like 'Beyond the red sea' have never fought anyone and i too could not fight my way out of the fore mentioned paper bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodEmperor Palpatine Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Somone once said to me, football is tribal.. mild mannered people are turned into warriors defending their land from rival tribes. Although slightly ludicrous does have a ring of truth to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Man has always felt the need to fight, even in the early days when they fought over the freshly killed dinosaur. Think football violence is more tribal, travelling to someone elses manor to try and 'take it' as the saying goes. The adrenalin rush you get before a ruck or travelling to one, is better than any drug on the market. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom from sunny side Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I would hope that most Bristol City, Man City or any fan of any team would never throw objects or attack an opposition player...I know it's reported that many objects were thrown at the Etihad (esp at Rooney) but surely we're dealing with a few idiots not the majority. If I saw someone doing that at AG, I would tell them to pipe down and report them to a steward/the police. That doesn't mean fans have to tone down their "passion" just that there's a line that shouldn't be crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
