I’m not sure if you can simply blame poverty/lack of education for the misrepresentation of fans at football matches. I dunno really mate - I've not got the solution really and understand that it's complex The fact that policing has gone well soft has been taken advantage of though - that's for sure 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toppOwl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Our away following has probably become a victim of its own success, most of the absolute diehards who hardly miss a match that I know are of advancing years and wouldn't undertake any of the behaviour mentioned here, a much younger element seem to have jumped on the "anything goes" away fan mentality and their two sniffs of the barmaids apron and coke (not the soft drink) addled mentality has lead to their shocking behaviour on the road, It won't be just SWFC that have this issue but it's not an easy one to resolve. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James67 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 2 hours ago, Bearwood Owl1 said: It was pretty crappy at the train station. Home and away fans were separated out into a queuing system behind safety barriers. Some Wednesday followers burst through the barriers, climbed the fences and shoved other Owls fans out of the way. Got pretty scary for a minute or two as it funnelled onto the platform. Then on the train, squeezed on like sardines, somebody in the carriage was smoking an e-cig. Set off the alarm and got stuck outside Manchester until it was sorted. On their own, none of this is probably the worst behaviour in the world, but added to other bits it gives me a sour taste at least. Yes it was so unnecessary, caused a lot of upset and if that's what our so called fans do amongst fellow Wednesday supporters we have got problems. A whole bunch of younger supporters who are off their head, lack any kind of morals or respect. And they will drag us down, which is such a shame because our loyalty and dedication has been a constant for decades. I think we need to stand up against this behaviour because it doesn't represent the average Wednesday fan. And the police and authorities need to focus on the new breed of law breakers. Just leave us to support our team. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an agressive and sometimes dangerous predominantly white male sub-culture that could and should be stamped out by the majority as well as the authorities.

Dress it up however you want, it’s the culture within football, it’s not just the violence, try going to a rugby game, you’ll soon notice the difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
