Full nelson Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Again!! Things could off turned very ugly if there were city fans in that area who were of the nasty type! Fortunately there was a lot of hot air being blown around and they moved away in the end. What I don't understand is how long it took our stewards/safety officers to attend and when they did they showed no authority what so ever.

For the second game running nobody seemed to deal with it. There was a family next to us with three young boys who were actually pretty scared of the agro that followed. I think today's chap was in the corporate seats hence why moved but really need to be advising anyone in there to generally be sensible as unfortunately you're going to get a reaction in what is a pretty boisterous part of the ground.

Tinmans Love Child Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I watched the whole thing, if they would have not celebrated nobody would have known. Some kid in a light blue hoody ran down from near the back to kick off and the Newcastle fan he confronted had his hands up as if to say don't do anything to me, but the stewards stood back and watched, could have been nasty. They came from the Hieneken lounge as well so seems strange they sat them where they did but you take your chances as an away fan in the home end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I was in the Heineken today. The late Bucksreds wife paid for me to be in there with her as a treat before she moves up to Scotland. I was 4 rows behind where it kicked off. It did take an absolute age for anyone to get there from the stewards, which wasn't good, and the Newcastle fans were absolutely out of order for celebrating as they did. BUT a small minority of our own fans should be ashamed of themselves for their behaviour today. Several individuals ran from other blocks, one from at least two blocks away, to confront said Newcastle fans and I saw at least a few punches thrown by them. Ridiculous for the Newcastle fans to celebrate as they did, I have no idea why they were even in that area but just as ridiculous was the reaction from some of our fans today. They have bloody good cctv now, and I wouldn't be surprised if some people get at least spoken to if not more as a result of their behaviour today. Sorry if this makes me sound like a misery guts, but there was no need for the reaction that a few of our fans gave when the Newcastle muppets jumped up.

Why? It was nothing to do with him. Just another lad giving it large and another embarrassment to our club. Grown men shouting over the railings calling the Newcastle fans the "c" word. Don't mind banter, but was this really necessary as they were only in hospitality? Agree that maybe away fans in hospitality need to be seated near or in the away end, but this is not their fault if the seats are right in the middle of the home fans! Teething problems which will no doubt be addressed before the real trouble starts. As usual stewards were nowhere to be seen. Anyway bring on Villa.

Pretty sad one cannot celebrate a goal regardless of your persuasion wherever you may be seated; why can football fans not just grow up and behave like other sports? Is that too much to ask or should one consider the fans of the beautiful game just a bunch of thickos? Oh look that is indeed the stereotype we create by ourselves with no need for help from the outside. 20 minutes ago, Just Red said: I'm in S19 also.

Fordy62 Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Isn't it terrible for football that we can't condone away fans in the home end.

Libertine Dream Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 Theres a reason for home & away ends. If you want to sit in the home end just keep yourselves to yourselves. It's common knowledge football fans have tribal mentality. If you try & take the piss in another teams end then I think you should expect a hard time. Right or wrong if you take away that edge from football then the atmosphere would turn into rugby which lets be honest is pretty crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 The steward in the shades walked away from the agro, wet his pants completely and only came back when his colleague waved furiously towards him to help. If that area is the hospitality area and away fans are welcome, the club needs to segregate it from the rest of the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The goal went in...they celebrated, people around them didn't take much notice, they sat back down and the game continued. At the end plenty were mixing in the bars and a few handshakes and 'unlucky lads' were heard. No fighting, bottles being thrown or obscenities traded.

Why should they not celebrate???..it's a game of football...it's just territorial bull imo..if they are behaving themselves it shouldn't be a cause of anxiety.as you say it was our 'fans' behaving badly-as I type this there is a Newcastle fan two yards away from me in the pub,i think he may be 'celebrating..without further ado time for me to charge over the two yard gap and give it the big 'un.

Difference being a pub doesn't specify different ends for different fans to sit in. Let's be honest take that edge away from football & it will take a lot of the enjoyment away - there's a reason the atmosphere is better at high profile games. No punches being thrown are not right but im sure there were plenty more Newcastle fans in home ends today who didn't get punched as they didn't draw attention to themselves.

Any Newcastle fan that harmlessly cheered or jumped up in celebration of a goal is blameless. Couldn't agree more... We have become a culture, of blame everyone else for the actions we take...in this case the Stewards. We blame Government, Police, Teachers etc,etc, for not controlling actions or behaviour.. How about we control our own actions. So some blokes celebrated a goal...good God the shame. Why shouldn't they.... It happens at every other sport, apart from football. And we wonder why Authorities look at football supporters with contempt. Imo...the City 'fans' that went out of their way to confront the Newcastle fans for celebrating should have been thrown out. Why supporters just can't see it was a great goal, well taken, appreciate the skill...allow the opposition fans to celebrate, have some banter and then just cheers the lads on? Why is that so hard to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
