On the 19:00 out of KX the staff in the bar / food stall asked a couple of lads to quiet down and were promptly told to shut their f***ing mouths - as they continued onto carriages further along.

The police followed them along and we didn't see the plod again for the journey. Enjoyed quite alot of alcohol on the way back in a responsible way but you can see why they have the policy when pillocks as describe are on board.

(No explicit reason to say they were SAFC fans)
 
Did they take your match ticket details? I got refused entry into Old Trafford for the semi last season for being too pissed and I got a letter from SAFC warning me about future conduct shortly after. Luckily managed to blag my way in during the first half or I'd have never forgiven myself :lol:

I had this at west brom but at half time :eek:

Polis were trying to trip me up as well to get a reaction out of me :evil:
As they were escorting me down stairs
Wouldn't care we won as well

Steve Watson own goal :lol:

Again though marra, it's the minority that spoil things. Rather than a zero drink policy, that quickly turns into 'who can smuggle the most on', I'd much rather see a zero tolerance policy towards wankers. If you act a c unt, your name is taken and a few days letter you get a ban for 3 or 4 matches from the club.
 
Id say a ban from all football matches for a year and a lifetime train ban would be fair.

I remember being on a train with about 30 Mansfield fans. They were singing under the moon of love for about twenty minutes solid and at that point Id have advocated the death penalty. Punters paying a fortune for trains don't want to listen to loud football supporters on their travels. I think thats fair enough
 
I find people end up more pissed than normal when its dry on the way back as vodka is smuggled rather than cans.

It's always the case, it just encourages people to get battered on spirits rather than taking a few cans like they normally would. It's a stupid rule that causes more trouble than it stops.

As Kauto Star has said, just take a strict approach to the pricks who are ruining it for everyone else and you'd solve the problem over the course of a few away trips once word gets around.
 
Why bother singing on the train? I'd much prefer to get pissed and just have a good crack and a laugh with my mates on the journey back.

Singing is for walking to the ground, being in the concourse and then being in the ground.

A few years back (4 or 5) I was at Arsenal away and loads of our fans were singing nonstop on the tube before the match and then in one of the pubs close to the ground.

However once in the ground the majority of our fans were quiet as mice (0-0 scoreline). What is the point of singing anywhere and everywhere but the actual match??

Thankfully the atmosphere at London games seems to have improved since then.
 
B*stard coppers got nothing better to do than look for soft targets. Hope you took their numbers and write to their Divisional Commander for a full explanation for their actions.
lol! thats just what we need more fools wasting police time - next time you need a copper and they dont turn up its probably cos theyre dealing with lots of stupid self righteous haughty I KNOW MY RIGHTS letters!

It depends entirely on the context of the chanting and whether a reasonable person would be caused offence.
Sang Doon Toon on a bus all the way from Euston to Penge. Nobody objected and most thought it funny. Would have stopped if anybody had said anything and wouldn't use bad language.
 
all i was doing was chanting...

You should claim Police prejudice against Hare Krishnas.

On the routes I tend to take on the trains I miss most of the football fans. I think the worst behaved on trains are England cricket fabs, then the worst of the football lot, particularly Cardiff. Rugby fans are normally brilliant on the trains.
 
Fans chanting a bit on our train on Sat back up to Newcastle. You can understand why it happens but there is a time / place.

A 10 year old girl was in tears and when her dad challenged one of the lads he was told to 'fuck off'. Couple of us told the gobshite to sit down and behave.
I'll chant at matches no probs, and feel it's my duty to do so, but public trains after the match are a no go. The trouble is that despite trains being dry, there's always a few nobs who can't deal with it, and try to hide their drinks. Keep your chanting, and drinking to the stadium, and nearby pubs, then grow up behave on the train. If you can't do that, then stay at home.

I totally agree with you about moderating behavior but it was more of a response to the suggestion of sending in a letter about it rather than accept that for whatever reason the behavior was deemed inappropriate by the police and move on rather than send in a demanding letter wasting even more time :)
