Away Fans in the wrong end

[murts_the_god]

if i was an away supporter sat in the home end and i stood up and cheered after we scored im pretty sure that others around me would be upset about the fact that its like im rubbing salt into the wound, at the end of the day football is a passionate game for a lot of people and nobody wants a confrontation that is why there is a home end and an away end

AWAY STAND

HOME STAND

a bit of a clue there

So what? If people aren't able to take the fact that somebody supporting the other side may be sat near them, it's they that have the problem.

its about respect mate i wouldnt sit in the kop with my blue and whites on and then cheer when and if reading score , if i couldnt get a seat in the away end its simple i wouldnt go cos i do have respect for other fans

It depends what you're talking about. Away fans in the home end = fine as long as their sensible about it. To be honest I couldnt care less if someone wore an opposition shirt in the away end.

The only time I would be a bit annoyed is if they were acting in a confrontational or offensive way (e.g. celebrating goals in a really obvious way).

All this "respect" sh*t is a load of rubbish and you need to grow up if you really believe that two fans of opposite clubs shouldn't be sat next to each other.

so your saying that if i sat in the kop with my shirt on i wouldnt get a tirade of abuse and a probable kicking thats what im talkin about i on the other hand woud go and tell a steward if he would listen to me and ask him to be moved to the away stand

[murts_the_god]

im just trying to say that i wouldnt want some away fan being the only person in the stand jumping up and down after a goal it just makes for a bad atmosphere

I'm not discussin what would happen to you in the KOP or any other football ground. I'm questioning why you have a problem with an away fan who is sitting watching a game of football and happens to support the oppostion team?

Interesting reading your earlier post as well, is that really how you feel?

on the subject of the stewards the amount of shitty red filthy berkshire scouse oxf*rd sitting in the east stand made my blood boil and again the stewards do nothing

i felt angry and let down by the stewards they are the ones that are supposed to keep the peace at the ground and as for the the slagging off about the away fans im just passionate about my club is that a oxf*rd crime

It was much better in the old days when the Reading and Millwall boys stood shoulder to shoulder in perfect harmony within the confines of the Southbank.

[Katie Marsden]

Nothing wrong with going in other teams ends as long as you don't wear colours and keep quiet. If you wear colours and cheer then you're asking for trouble and only have yourself to blame if you get thrown out or whacked.

I'm sure, you little hooligan!

[lozz2601]

Couple of guys in front of me spent the entire game taking pictures of Liverpool players on various different cameras.

Had another guy with his son in a Liverpool kit. I don't really mind if they come in without causing trouble, but at least have the decency not to wear the shirt.

[a royal called morty]

There was also some kid in the north stand, say about 16-17, wearing his liverpool shirt and singing you'll never walk alone at the end, then when some of our own fans took offense to this the kid started to get angry, how thick can you get, wearing the opposition shirt and trying to start on a few fans in the opposition end.

Some people have no common sense

edit: the stewards did f*ck all to stop it, they just stood around doin nothing

I say it's a free world, and people that get really worked up about away fans in the home end ought to get a life. That said, if I were an away fan, I'd try and at least be sensible about not wearing the colours and screaming too loudly. I was sitting next to a couple of Liverpool fans in the North Stand. As they were pretty sporting about clapping good Reading moves and our goals, I felt fairly forgiving. Although they got a bit of death stare when they chortled over a clattering tackle on the Bobster

Im not bothered about it if they're quiet about it, but this kid was mouthing off and IMO the choices he made, eg. standing up and joining in the liverpool chants, then getting all mouthy with other royals supporters.

[Tredder]

The club make a rod for their own backs when they allow anyone to order a member card and buy a ticket for Reading playing Liverpool at home. Hardly a shocker that lots of local and London based fans bought tickets in the home ends. Still, as long as the club get bums on seats that's OK

I think it's the 'i support two teams' syndrome.

[Daniella]

Don't have a problem with them being in the home ends, as we didn't sell out, but wearing a shirt is downrigth disirespectful. People know they can get away with it at the madejski though, soft stewards and even softer home fans. Had it been any other club they'd of either got a kicking or thrown out legally.

[Silver Fox]

You forgot to mention how that's what's wrong with football these days

On the contrary, segregation was only brought around in modern football. Most preferred the old days of being mixed in.

Shot yourself in the foot with that one.

[cmonurz]

On the contrary most preferred it, but if you find some fans in the wrong end in an away shirt, they deserve a kicking? Right.

[Behindu]

At a guess I would say there has been segregation for near enough 30 years at grounds in England, I doubt most of the people who go to games now have first hand knowledge of the days when you had to check round you before celebrating a goal...

[Daniella]

Lets not get into a war of words. You have your opinion which is wrong, I have my opinion which is right. We'll leave it at that.

[Readingfc50]

Had three to the right of me and in front of me a reading fan with two scousers either side of him. He really didn't look particulary pleased especially when they said they were Liverpool fans but wearing the free reading hats u get outside the ground.

[Katie Marsden]

Liverpool fans getting attacked and escorted out of the Wigan end on Saturday after celebrating the goal.
