Just costing the club future supporters and hurting the club they apparently love. "You're not taking your kids. To an away game again" so how in the world can it be over blown. Your reaction is almost certainly how you view it. so it is pathetic and an unnecessary slur on our club and specifically our terrific away supporters.

We do have a terrific away support. Should they damage opposition stadiums, harass staff and block off gangways for other supporters though? The damage wasn't massive so calling for criminal proceedings as some have is an over the top reaction, it is over blown. I also feel my children would be scared in that environment and would be put off football and Wednesday for years if I took them into it, so I won't be. Come on, this isn't hard to understand. We have excellent away support but some of them could maybe try not being complete two hats when they've had a shandy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If one of those thugs booted your car but only made a small dent would that matter ? I despair sometimes, I really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he came back the next day, said "Sorry I was drunk, had a bad day" then paid for the damage and sorted it all out I'd not go near the police. If he laughed about it and posted a video on youtube and never came back I would do. The club need to ban people, they need reprimanding and we should issue a public apology and pay for the repairs.

ANDY Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Can you see Tango phoning bcfc and apologising and asking for the bill ? Me neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sultan_Pepper Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Me neither. I can see DC doing it though, bad position to be put in by your own fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS6Owl Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I'd like to question Tango's role in this video. Is this the example 'Wednesday's Number 1 Fan' should be setting? His behaviour has been questioned before, here's video evidence that he's part of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pointing out you think the episode was serious enough for you to not take your kids away again so surely you're point it's "overblown" is disputed by you.

The only way is S6 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I believe we have a hardcore of approx. 2,000, give or take, who go away regardless of distance, ko time, tv coverage etc etc. Amongst any travelling group of that number, there'll always be some loons. Always. Especially with football, in this country. I don't understand the surprise it causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Deleted member Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 I was stood next to about 8 complete loons, who were definitely on more than beer... Spent most of the second half singing songs like "F*** off Hooper you fat c***" Loved it when he scored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they cause criminal damage ban them from attending matches at Hillsborough and send a list of fans on the banned list to other clubs. Eventually you will remove the problem fans and the rest will still be able to travel. I don't understand the surprise it causes. If you don't maybe you should have a close look at yourself. You may be encouraging the bad behaviour by accepting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody who doesn't expect an element of daft, drunken behaviour amongst 2,000 away fans, at an away match is naïve in the extreme. It's up to the authorities in that stadium to deal with them, not us. I don't condemn or condone them, because I've been drunk & daft in the past. I've yet to meet anybody in life, who hasn't.
