unfortunately I got stuck, for the first half at least, amongst some of the tosspots of Barnsley "fans" in the top corner. I seem to be a magnet for these ****ers as the last time i went to an away game was Doncaster and they all congregated around me.... so I moved. Anyway I stuck it out today and saw several idiots kicking and destroying seats, egged on by their mates. To what end ? I was ashamed to see this happening. So I moved away at half time to stand in the gangway behind the disabled seats, and saw many folks not able to sit down because the locals refused to open up the cordoned off section to the left of the stand. The police got involved as temperatures rose and some fans were taken out. It was a good day for the reds but a sad day for fans especially if you destroyed a seat. Well done to you, ****ers.
I saw a lad around 15=16 with half a seat outside the ground, and then an older bloke who was throwing stuff into a crowd, seroisly whats the fukcing point? You dont look hard, you look like a bellend
Absolutely baffles me... Why go to a ground and smash seats? Why? Oh why? What gain is there? What had the f-ing seat done wrong? By all means, shout and scream, but mindless idiotism is just that!
we have people who go away as bad as the likes of MIllwall and even worse at times I have witnessed this on many away league games... but sadly when we have also gone to show case games too. Cup play offs etc
I was sat right at the back just where it all got a little heated. The stewards didn't help and the way OAFC allocated tickets, especially considering they knew it would sell out, was shockingly bad.
Saw someone on Facebook saying she was being spat on by a group of our fans - might be the same bunch by the sounds of it
Agree with that, said same on way home that i can't understand why it was unreserved seating when they knew it would be nearly full. There would have been seats in there for everyone who was stood in the gangways but they would have been odd seats here and there that are hard to pick out in a crowd. Should have been allocated seats. We do need to do something about our idiots though, we are gonna get a real reputation for being a club with ****ers for fans.
Totally agree. When you know its going to sell out you have to use reserved seating. People go with their mates / family and want to sit together in the ground. I'm not going to defend idiots but a lot of them stood with us were just normal fans getting frustrated by being told to sit down when there were no seats. At one point a steward pushed a fan just because he was arguing his case that there was nowhere to sit.
Really sad to hear. Annoys the hell out of me that football still doesn't sort this out. Cctv. Charge the scroats with criminal damange, and ban them from football for life. The kids are just little chavs. The middle age men laughable. We have our fair share of morons.
It's all changed. When I was like 14-17 (too young to drink) I would wear a shirt and have pop. Sing and behave. Now at that age you need your mum to get you the clobber and take Instagram pics of your 20 pack for awayday train.
Little wonder than that we are considered to have the worst fan behaviour of all four divisions. Away games seem to attract those who never make it to home games.
