Sat in the Arsenal end this season. Promised my Gooner friend I’d behave. Some tit behind was spouting all kinds of Shite about Sunderland so when Broadhead scored I went sod it, jumped up and his face dropped! Said if it was Millwall or Chelsea I’d not be so welcomed 😂
 
Haha my dad took me to Leeds & Boro away when I was about 10. We were in the home end both times. "Keep quiet son".
Told this countless times

my brother just started seeing his wife when his future FIL took him to the Darren Williams header goal match

he was part of the corporate boxes

he’d been warned before hand if Sunderland score keep 🤬🤬🤬🤬 quiet

when Williams scored he said the whole area of the boxes they were in where full of Sunderland jumping up & down like loons 😂

me & me da where in with our lot 😎

There was a group of lasses walking back over towards the bridge and one says,”shush Lauren you don’t have a Geordie accent!” The other says, “they’re not Geordie’s and it’s too late anyway I’ve got me shirt showing!” :lol:
Pics ?
Couldn't do it me like. I can't sit on my hands while I'm watching Sunderland.
I’m the same
Been offered home end tickets tomorrow as I’m working in Sheffield anyway
Couldn’t do it

Did it when we played AFC Wimbledon at Kings Meadows when Catts scored two - very much a last resort option as it’s shite
 
At Cardiff in early 2004. Went with a few Cardiff lads, who outed me in the last 10 mins and their 4th goal.

Just got jeers and laughed at. Not sure would have been same if we’d done them 4-0 mind.
 
You’ll be ‘rate, just keep thysen to thysen.

One of my strangest experiences, having grown up and spent a lot time in and near Sheffield, was going to Hillsborough with Wolves, and hearing the chant “and they all talk funny ova they-re” directed at us.

Felt the chant was somewhat hypocritical.

Lived in SE London for ten years and played Sunday football with some absolute Millwall supporting loons.
SAFC played them midweek and I was in the paddocks in the old Den.
Of course, my teammates came over and were shouting 'he' s a Geordie c*nt' (the days before Mackem was a thing) and took the piss for the rest of the game.
The most uncomfortable I have been in a game but because they were friendly lunatics and as hard as, no-one else bothered me.
 
Did at sheff wed and man u

Sheff wed was the easy one for Norman game and we got moved with shit loads of others to the corner.

Man u was 3-0 I think when Lee Sharpe tore us a part. There was few fans in there too.
I was in the side stand for that Man Utd game, loads in there.
 
Did the Luton Championship winning game under Keane. There were loads of us in there, and all together as well, so there was no bother when we kept knocking the goals in.

Usually did the neutral section at Fulham but one year did the actual home end. We didn’t score but even if we did and I’d gone ballistic I doubt there would be have been any bother.

Not Sunderland but I was in the away end with Millwall when they played at Watford about 1994. Still standing back then and the "Wall" were battling with police all game. Chatted to some fans next to us and they loved the fact that we'd chosen to stand wth them rather than with Watford. Good craic!
 
Definitely reet in Leeds.

Yeah but they say stuff like mon-eh, and eat christmas turk-eh. That said, I reckon bits of the Leeds/West Yorks accent is slowly making its way downwards into South Yorks.

At the risk of going ever more off topic, seem to remember Arctic Monkeys Mardy Bum has 'but it's rate/rayt hard to remember on a day like to day' in the lyrics.

Back on topic, I've never encountered that many issues in home ends so long as you're not acting up. I cocked up a few years ago when we couldn't get away tickets for Pride Park, said to my dad 'let's sit as close to the Wolves fans as possible', completely forgetting there'd be a line of stewards. Thankfully it's probably my second most visited ground and I'd seen a lot of the previous Derby/Wolves games so just talked to them about that.

Seem to recall Leicester away ~2006, Wolves needed the points to get into the play offs. Three lads in their teens/20s in front of us, minding their own business, not wearing colours or owt, but when once spoke, was obviously a yam yam. Some Leicester lass had a bee in her bonnet about it, and was shouting at any steward she could find 'they're Wolves fans, they're Wolves fans' trying to get them thrown out :rolleyes:

Funnily enough, earlier this season Chesterfield were away at Chelsea, and we ended up in the Westview posh seats as a mate had a corporate contact. Town were 5-0 down but when they got the consolation, my mate's dad stood up and cheered. No one battered an eyelid, think in all honesty they were probably pleased for us. A tense play-off semi final is probably a different kettle of fish though ;)

(Yes I'm aware my football allegiances make little sense).
