I don’t bother with away games any longer - can’t be bothered to share the away end with those morons
You're saying away fans couldn't see the game in a 1/3 full away end? :lol:Sidewinder":outw3iyp said:At the Port Vale away game I sat next to Ryan Lowe's wife and son. I felt really embarrassed by the large number of morons in front of us. The young lad had to move to be able to see because of the attention seeking prats who moved in front of us (and kept looking around to see if they were being noticed). There were also some players' family behind us and I just felt that everyone was a bit bemused by the sheer idiocy of a significant proportion of the away following. Really embarrassing.
I'd like to reassure the OP that this element is a minority but sadly it's a significant, vocal minority that appears to be growing in number.

We came to your first game of the season and your words support was overwhelmingly emotional
Today a few of us attended baring in mind we are football fans with no club, we don't watch moneyball on TV and thought we would once again show our support
Although the majority of your support made us welcome and stopped to speak, listened to what was now going on with Bury and offered their condolences we also experience alot of anamositiy towards us, and would like to know why the sudden change of heart
We had a support aggressively confront us outside the ground (fat bald green coat hello to you sir, such a delight)
telling us that he wouldnt follow ex Argyle players around the country, and we shouldn't be here,
maybe not but he hasn't had his team taken from him, he took exception when a member of Argyle staff hugged a Bury fan who he obviously knew outside of football, he seemed outraged that the Bury lad missed home, surely if he'd been made redundant and left to work miles from home, regardless of the hard work put in, surely he'd miss his family?
We had a Supporter tell a steward we shouldn't be in this end and a female fan abused at half time
The majority of your support have been and always are phenomenal but I'm just perplexed at why the census has seemed to change,
This isn't a post to cause problems but just to understand why some have such animosity at other football fans coming to watch a game,
To the fan that told me you shouldn't be here, you was with what seemed to be your son? I was with my father and uncle, out time as a family has been wripped apart, I hope your bond and hobby with your family Doesnt get taken away from you
Once again all the best for the season to such a wonderful set of supporters, I'm sure you will go up this season
This (and several other posts on this thread) hint that it was a section of supporters who regularly attend away games, drink and stand. This group were at the game but I don't think they had anything to do with it. I could be wrong, but the Bury supporters I saw were several blocks away from this group and I don't there was any interaction from the group with Bury fans at all.Biggs":1u7chi5g said:Pi55ed up yobs who insist they can do and say what they want because they’ve paid for a ticket, when correctly challenged by fellow fans (and the previous manager).
Yeah that is strange.IJN":229hn47y said:Yeah o get that as well. Always wear your colours with pride.
I have heard though that there were a few Bury fans asking the ex Bury players for their shirts. I find that a tad strange if I’m honest.
