Footballs Ugly Undercurrent

Rearing it's ugly head again WBA v Wolves certain fans absolutely cream for trouble wannabe hooligans.
Wolves fans with tickets celebrating in home end madness, have some common sense if you score
There's definitely people within football who want to return to the scenes of the 80s

 

They aren't football fans. They use a club badge as a reason to cause trouble.

 

Very true, shocking, I think they are more interested in giving 2 fingers and wkr signs to apposing fans than watching the game

 

Apparently most of the trouble is situated in the stands where the West Brom players families are.

 

Disgusting. Surely a points deduction for Everton incoming.

 

Wonder, if tickets from player’s allocation have found their way into hooligans hands

 

If that doesn't result in a match behind closed doors or at the very least a stand closure then all hope is lost

 

As do Birmingham all as bad as each other in that area.

 

I was thinking something similar yesterday regarding Coventry and Wednesday's replay. Whilst I'm always loathed to impose sanctions on the common fan, issuing no tickets to Wednesday for the return fixture for me is the minimum that should be imposed.

 

It's not just Birmingham. Every club will have a share of low life. They call themselves "firms"

 

including the governing bodies who are doing very little to eradicate trouble and racism in the stands.

 

Every club including ours has the d###head element funnily enough I would say Wolves were some of the friendliest I've come across, back in 16/17 we battered them one Tuesday night I thought this is going to be fun getting back to the car. Got talking to some of there fans very complimentary about us and said if you can keep that side together you have a great chance of going up if only eh.

 

I see nothing but some of the ideas floating around the BBS punishing the innocent. The perpetrators don't give a toss. be it Wendy (West brom or Wolves, so many rumours on that one) Port vale.
Bigger punishment needs to be dealt to em. The clubs and innocent fans suffer, not those stupid two hats. They have to be identified and if found guilty of an offence, Tagged, minimum. Report to a police station during all of their teams games. Home or away.

 

Like ours do (and did last season) when Sheff Wensdy come to taarn.
Its a shame because I was looking forward to this game as a neutral fan, and this stupid behaviour by a few, has ruined it for the majority.

 

Remember them invading the pitch under mick mcarthy at oakwell after winning promotion. Didn't really see any bother though that day. 2008 maybe the year.

 

Wolves away single handedly the worst away game I've ever experienced.
Think it was Feb/March 2002 in what turned out to be relegation under Steve Parkin.
If I remember it was a rearranged game played midweek, we were utterly useless and got demolished 4-1. Our travelling support that night numbered about 800 they had split one of the ends behind the goal, segregated only with a piece of mesh and about 10 stewards from top to bottom of the stand.
From the first whistle there must have been around 4k wolves fans in their section, Burberry, Stone Island crewe etc me and my late dad were spat on, coined, abused and threatened.
When they scored the 4th goal with about 20 mins left its the only time my dad had ever wanted to leave a game.
Vile fans

Edit Nov 2001 crikey

 

If that’s the game I’m thinking of, there was a lot of bother on the pitch, I remember Barnsley ‘fans’ fighting with police and stewards trying to break the line that seperated them. Also, Wolves fans trying to get to Barnsley fans on the East Stand side. Their was outrage why Police seemingly allowed Wolves fans onto the pitch and tried to stop Barnsley fans.

 

Anyone remember a home game with Villa when the Ponty was split 50/50 with them getting the half adjacent the West Stand? I remember being about 15 at the time and getting a kick on the shin and a snide glare from some Villa scrote. Luckily, being a devout coward, I ignored it and kept on walking to get out through the gap at the back. How there wasn't a riot that day I'll never know!

 

For myself, I don't think anything will ever top the play-off semi against Birmingham away in 2000. Never seen anything like it.

 

Cardiff away. They equalised near the end. The Five 0. Went ballistic and were at it in the city afore the game as well. Lunatics.
