Disgusting, toxic home support

The response on here does seem to be representative of the crowd in our area today. Disappointing but telling. At Roker you could at least move and get away from it. Like I said today was possibly nothing outside the ordinary. If that’s what you like, knock yourself out, take your children and show them the way. Crack on.

You are right on this.

I have no doubt I will be shot down on here, but nevertheless..

Attended the game today in the east stand, very close to north stand concession corner.

Absolutely sickening bigotry, foul and abusive language, and apparent hatred of..well pretty much everything and everyone.

In context only my second game of the season and third since the opening day of last season so no idea whether this is now the norm or something in the air today.

Quite a few kids around us and worryingly the worst perpetrators of the really disgusting language all seemed to have children with them.

C word, puff, *******, retard, f***ing southern bastards, inbreds...what a lovely bunch we had around us today.

No question in my mind it’s got worse over the last 5 or 6 years. A big factor in giving up my ST but today was a real eye opener having been away from it.

I’m sure at least 50% of safc supporters are decent, well brought respectful people but honestly, so many animals associated to the club these days, not for me any longer .Good luck.

Sit not far from there.

Sorry OP stated 'Absolutely sickening bigotry'
The bigotry was so bad he had to be sick, absolutely?
OTT from OP no wonder he got pelters.

Saw you at the match today (could hardly miss your gleaming halo).
 
I sit in the family area in the south stand. I take a ten year old. The guy in front takes 8 year old and next to me sits another 8 year old.

There are a few idiots that sit behind us in there that are vile. The guy behind me has pulled them a couple of times for their language. They are around 17 to 19 years old. **** behing their favourite.

It's different hearing it in a song from the fans compared to directed horrific spurts of abuse they may aim at our players.

Iv never heard the racism for a few seasons hopefully it's on it's way out.

My 10 year old just looks at me and rolls his eyes and giggles when he hears the swearing.

The stadium would be half empty if we kicked out everybody that swears

If you're going to start using semantics to make a point you should at least get them right. The definition of 'sickening' is 'causing or liable to cause a feeling of nausea or disgust'.

There have certainly been times this season when that has been the case for me too.

I'm not surprised that people got all defensive about what he said, perhaps they should stop and consider whether what he talks about is acceptable or not.

In defence of the OP, I did hear a certain amount of racist abuse directed at Vaughan. Not a lot, but there was definitely some.

Hardly a surprise that there are racist comments these days though surely. Its been normalised in society for some time.

That generation will be gone soon and things will improve- fancy shouting at somebody as they have darker skin than you

There has always been swearing at football and you accept that. But not incessantly and for 90 minutes. Maybe you notice this a lot more when you don’t go very often but the anger and bile that comes from these people - predominantly young men - is incredible. You have to wonder what’s happened to them to make them so angry because a footballer going down injured, a misplaced pass or a referees decision surely could not stir up such hatred. Maybe it’s just a release of their general anger and personal circumstance. Who knows? But yes it did seem worse than ever and has Brexit got anything to do with this (and the high profile recent issues in football)? It’s not a coincidence in my opinion.

The atmosphere yesterday wasn't toxic. I think you may be over exaggerating a bit because you sat next to a few knackers
