Premiership fans - Best and worst

[Super_horns]

Can I just ask why is 'Yellow Army' crap but Blue/Red ok?

BTW OUr home support is the worse but the away fans pretty good.

I only attend a handful of games these days due the amount of utter mongs that suddenly decided they were Reading fans after the club started doing well. The sad fact is the vast majority of the 10,000 or so new fans are the worst type of fan imaginable.

It's shame because theres a good hardcore of Reading fans who have been going for years.

Agreed.

Bloke behind me at Bolton tried to make me sit down for Doyle's penalty

The sad thing is you can see people on the front row on MOTD sat down for the penalty. I thought it was standard for everyone to stand when there was a penalty, but obviously not

Why would you need to stand up to see a penalty? If (as I was) you are in the second row from the back you have a perfectly good view if everybody remains sitting. In fact, the view is worse when everyone is standing unless you are 6'4". The same applies to corners. We sit there watching football (and not standing up trying to attract people's attention) and when there is a corner at our end (or often when the ball comes to our end of the field) people at the front stand up and then everybody else has to so that they can see what they could have seen well in the first place.

I am aware the this thread was about away supporters (which we were at Bolton) so while on the subject I have to defend Liverpool supporters. They were very pleasant when we were up there (which we have been twice) and were appreciative of the fact that we had a wreath put on the Hillsborough memorial.

In fact, I have heard of trouble from away supporters at our club which has been nipped in the bud before they even got in to the stadium but have never felt in any way threatened at away matches this year (not like going to Cardiff!).

Do you have piles from the amount of sitting that you indulge in?? You are obsessed!

[reading_lad]

I have piles. Thats why i like to stand at football

[Daniella]

It makes me laugh when people are logical about football. "sitting down because its a better view" "people show support in differant ways". What a load of tosh. Why do reading fans have an obsession of being logical?

The moment you put logic and football in the same sentence you kill the passion and the game completely.

You're supposed to look like dickheads standing up, shouting crap and going mental when you score, thats proper tradition and thats how it should be.

Its a game where you get pissed have a laugh with mates and at all costs get behind your team. I've been to a few differant clubs during my time in england and reading have been one of most reserved fans i've seen. Almost on a par with chelsea and fulham.

To the outside world we look like retards on TV when you see fans celebrate and go mental, but we don't care. If you are too self-concsious that you don't want to be seen acting like this, then football isn't the sport for you.

People on this messageboard say it isn't about social class. Bullshit, the working class fans i've seen are 10 times more passionate and louder than the middle/upper I've seen, probably always will be.

[AthleticoSpizz]

For 90 minutes I'm only interested with what goes on pitchside

However, when we score, I regress to being 30 years younger for a second or two.

You're right and you're wrong Daniella. I think it's great to cheer and go mental but people have the right to behave however they want. Football isn't a working class sport anymore.

[Winchester Royal]

Football should be classless, but it isn't.
If somebody goes to the match with a client to entertain them, they aren't going to go bonkers if we score.

Shame people are so concerned about self-image...

How do you tell what class a bunch of football fans are ?

Come to that how do you tell what class anyone is anymore - given that the country is now 90% middle class, 5% upper class and 5% underclass....

The notion of class is held onto most tightly who cannot stand the very real thought that they are middle class.

It always helps to swell the numbers of the away support when the travel is free (in this case paid for by the players). I wonder how many they would have had if travel wasn't free...

I agree basically with the point about knowing whether a football fan is from a certain class or not. However the statement that 90 % of the country is middle class is, I'm afraid to say, b*llocks.

Amen to that.
