Fair enough. I don’t recall it ever from ’76 onwards. When did it used to happen? Which years? Sounds very civilised. Couldn’t happen now with the cast of Oliver Twist causing hassle with opposition fans.
August 22, 2022 at 2:53 pm #243330You can see changing ends at approximately 2 minutes in this video from 1987:
August 22, 2022 at 3:12 pm #243331Not ‘swapping’ ends with opposition fans though is it? It’s Scunny fans going from the side stand in to the DRE.
August 22, 2022 at 3:13 pm #243332Sorry. Misunderstood. I thought this was what Awaywego was referring to.
August 22, 2022 at 3:18 pm #243333Maybe he was and if so I’ve misunderstood it. However, I do think it detracts comparing that sort of behaviour with Saturday’s lot. Completely different.
August 22, 2022 at 4:41 pm #243339That’s why I started my post there was me wanting, obviously after Saturday no chance, can’t really remember about the away fans Deerey somebody else might recall,(slightly worrying) never changed with the cods I do know that, Lincoln and Donny fans used to come in the Donny rd and many others.We always went in the pontoon sometimes without shoes or boots,them on one side of an aisle us on the other 3 or 4 police and would kick off every few minutes, they came here and turned out market stalls over next year we turned clee high street over, so like I say there angels to what we were in our day, still see many of us old men now going to Scunny games we’ve worked all our lives had family’s, and obviously missing me out most are respectable human beings, one x hooligans firm has sponsored utd for many a year, not proud or ashamed it’s just what happened. The same will happen with the current youth.

August 22, 2022 at 5:01 pm #243341You’re missing the point completely awaywego. There was a good point Siderite made about hoolies seeking out other hoolies, which you ‘thanked’. Those Solihull fans on Saturday were not in the slightest bit interested in a ruck-a few started goading back after constant provocation and aggression. The so called Scunny fans caused security and others hassle, scared those on the only coach they had, embarrassed the club, kept the ball twice when it was absolutely pointless anyway as we were losing, went on the pitch trying trying to get to away fans, etc. Many of us can reminisce about the old days and it being worse sometimes (seen plenty worse than you’ve described but not going to glorify it here, particularly on this thread – it’s not the point) but don’t try and tell me those lot on Saturday were acceptable. Stain on the club tbh. Do you have any sympathy for Neil and Lee having to respond to and deal with the fallout from it? Anyway, last I’m saying on the matter. Pointless arguing with you.

August 22, 2022 at 5:54 pm #243344Definitely happened Deerey. Remember it fondly.
Me too.
Also remember trying to go in the Macclesfield end at their ground in a cup game, 1969?.

August 22, 2022 at 7:20 pm #243352I thanked siderites post because that’s how it should be, have I not said before that I’ve stopped scunny lads giving grief to Fleetwood fans who wore shirts at their ground,would have done the same again this week if I was nearby, not going to beat them up climbing over the wall celebrating,we’ve had enough away fans do it in the past at no consequence, hero’s to zero’s in a couple of weeks, argh well. It’s not rocket science to know that if you let the lads in the corner there going to goad the away fans. So no no sympathy for Lee on this occasion. Probably a good thing in the end better this week than when a full allocation of away fans come.
August 22, 2022 at 7:39 pm #243355I thought the whole point of it was to have aggro with like-minded casuals, not harass the ‘scarfers’. If they must do this, why not save it for something away from the ground with Chesterfield, Oldham, Wrexham, Notts County or other clubs who have firms, not some club like Solihull, who I can’t imagine having a hooligan element?
Indeed, save the agro for when face by other nutters out for a fight. I get it that sometimes things get heated, but that is not an excuse for attacking innocent oppo supporters.
August 23, 2022 at 12:30 am #243361yes i recall going from the Donny rd end to the Fox street stand without a problem on the odd occasion away fans were in low numbers (local derbies n big games not so) , you could walk down the back of the main dug out stand. I also recall the nasty bogs to the right of the DRE …..but the pies were great also.. fond memories indeed.
August 23, 2022 at 6:50 am #243365hero’s to zero’s in a couple of weeks, argh well
You’re just not getting the point are you??? The atmosphere those lads created in the DRE v Sheff Utd was fantastic, supporting their team, making plenty of noise, great stuff, absolutely brilliant! That is completely different to what those morons were doing on Saturday and you know it!
August 23, 2022 at 8:41 am #243366Their behaviour will depend on what reaction they get, you’d think.
Ignored? Ramp it up.
I’d imagine that ignored will be the norm this season.August 23, 2022 at 9:29 am #243371Not sure I understand your post Alcy. Can you elaborate please? Ignored by the opposition fans or the club?
August 24, 2022 at 11:13 am #243418Closed for the Halifax game.
Good to see.August 24, 2022 at 11:44 am #243419Why? Surely better to keep them away from yourself and others, not like you don’t see at nearly every ground in the country, we do appear to have some very sensitive souls on here Why not go the whole hog and close the east stand completely can’t be cost effective to keep it open plenty of space elsewhere.

August 24, 2022 at 11:49 am #243420on Saturday that corner was like the Keystone Cops looking after a under 5s Creche.

August 24, 2022 at 12:03 pm #243423Do we close the dugout too?
There is a lot of youth behaving very badly, led and primed up by an older gent who should really know better?

Not got a problem with a lively a atmosphere. I was in there for the Rotherham play off game and it was excellent- had a good edge to it.
Not a fan of 60 youths opening gates, being a general pain in the arse and trying to intimidate women and kids.

Lol, still not getting it are you?. It’s not about us being ‘sensitive souls’ as you put it. It’s about our club’s reputation and others visiting our ground. And no, it doesn’t happen at nearly every ground. Not like that. If it’s aggression from both sides, that’s different. You admitted yourself you don’t like aggression towards those uninterested, so your point’s mangled.
August 24, 2022 at 12:30 pm #243427Yes I was in there with the 7 year old grand kid that game he loved it. I honestly thought they were to far away to intimidate anyone on Saturday there fans were to the left of the left hand post of the goal, surely the stewards had enough time and space to stop them more a stewarding issue than anything else and to much made out of this Imo.
August 24, 2022 at 1:16 pm #243429Clearly the club don’t think so. Maybe they’re keen to protect their family excellence award that you were wanging on about a few months ago? Just a thought.
August 24, 2022 at 1:21 pm #243430Has someone miraculously missed the point again Deery?
August 24, 2022 at 1:27 pm #243433Yes,me probably

August 24, 2022 at 1:29 pm #243434Really I just want them back in the DRE entertaining IronIronIron….
August 24, 2022 at 1:33 pm #243435Yes,me probably
Was thinking more of one who might have been a shop steward for 30 years but was against the rail strike!!!!!!
August 24, 2022 at 1:34 pm #243436Crikey, don’t start WG off about that one again!
August 24, 2022 at 1:38 pm #243438Might aswell not bother sending trains to Edinburgh at the moment, phew, nice. 💩
