People going on as if singing is a heinous crime :lol: cause nobody's gotten a bit stupid on a long journey before, oh no his singing is gonna stop people enjoying their ride!!!! Fair enough it's a bit rude but all it needs is some common sense, have a word and tell him to stop and if he keeps going then chuck him off.
 
I think the BTP should take more of a case by case view of boozing on night trains after away games, don't let daft pissed lads on or take the booze of them, don't punish the normal football fan wanting a few drinks before or after a match. I was on the 06:55 from Newcastle with loads of our lot and some fans were really having a good drink, bottles of Amareto the lot, but all in good fun and not at all ruining the journey for the non-football fans traveling.

Think a few football fans only carriages would be an idea, it's not just safc fans who use the east coast and worth pointing out the dry trains was after some incidents involving the mags, as well as us and Boro.

Granted I stayed over-night and didn't see what the trains home are like.
 
You'll be fine mate. Especially if it's obvious you are safc. Anar that shouldn't matter, but it wouldn't stop me and I've to been on plenty of these trains. If I was on a train with the bairn and a group of lads were making him uncomfortable with their behaviour, I would just move. Wouldn't get mesell all worked up about it, what's the point. I've seen young families get upgraded to first class if theres spaces.
Why would making it obvious your a Sunderland fan make it better;

A) the other passengers don't dare say anything because your a football fan?

B) Sunderland fans intimidate families with kids if they are not Sunderland fans?
 
The "Harry Roberts is our friend!" probably wasn't the best song choice like. Shame to hear a bloke sticking up for his daughter got told to F off on the other post. We're Sunderland, not bloody Millwall.
 
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.

Agree with the top bit, but totally disagree with the bottom bit about 3/4 game ban.

I've been on a train when a hen do has been on, and they were drinking, swearing, singing, dancing in aisles etc. Should they be banned from the next 3/4 hen dos?

As I say, spot on with the 1st part. Identify the arseholes, warn them once and if they continue hoy them off at the next stop - let them find their own way home at considerable expense. Banning someone from 3/4 home games cos they acted the arsehole on a train a few hundred miles from Sunderland would be ridiculous IMO.

With regards to OP, I'm guilty of having a bit sing song on trains coming back from away games. If you were swearing etc then you've not really got any complaints, especially if there were bairns about. If you were just singing Sunderland songs without being offensive then chucked off without warning I'd say that's a bit harsh, and it'd be incredibly harsh to punish you further.
 
18.30 train back to Newcastle? There was a lad chanting all sorts of nonsense on there about 'asbestos awareness cards'. Coppers were up and down a fair bit, ended up off at Doncaster I think.

My personal favourite was "has Ji been cheating on her?" "Ji cheated on us for two and a half year".

People complain about football fans being singled out but also then think football fans should get special treatment. If you are on a train making a twat of yourself, it doesn't matter where you've been beforehand.
 
All in all..This puts me of taking the bairn to her 1st away match on the train.
Thats a bit of a shame really.
This for me as well Les. Coach for me with the grandson. Alternatively a full London weekend leaving Friday nd back on Monday works.
 
thats why they should do a football special train there and back, get a ticket for that when you get your match ticket, not distrupting any normal people then.
They used to run football specials but the trains ended up trashed. Can't blame the authorities for banning drink when football supporters are travelling like. If the morons grew up everybody would be happy.
 
all i was doing was chanting, anyway the police asked for my details,which i had no problem giving him them,can i expect a letter through the door or anything like that,they didnt charge me with anything.
1000 lashes in the new square in the city centre should just about do it.
 
Maybe a bit heavy-handed from the police, should have told you to keep it down and then they'd have to throw you off. Maybe you aren't giving us the full story but at any rate I don't think many people would like to endure drunk men acting the loud chav on an expensive 3-hour train ride after a loss. You have well over 90 minutes to go full-retard just do it considerately at the game like the rest and then act your age on the way back
