Football could cope with mixing home and away fans, but only certain away fans, children with their parents and those who are older (probably younger than OAP level but not by much), as examples. Anything else is a bit of a risk, given the Green Street wannabes, who seem to follow every club (see the pushing and shoving yesterday). The deep-seated pride in your team and hatred of others stems back to our cave-dwelling times. OK Oldham and Northampton are not exactly rivals, but it doesn’t take much for incidents to happen. I'm confused if you are in favour of or against restrictions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusunga_Is_God Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Worth looking at something like this? That being said it's not a promotion celebration... Could be scenes if we go down. Dirty protest on the centre circle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know many organ recitals that have fan bases supporting the wind and string sections separately. My point is that Rugby and cricket fans can mix, and I've seen fights in the stands at Rugby and cricket matches. Why can't some football fans be allowed to mix. Same applies to drinking alcohol and watching the game. I've seen fights at concerts too but not opera. If someone so inclined did the research and found there were more of a protected group who watch football, the government would have a hard time enforcing a law that indirectly discriminates.

Why do you want to be able to sit/stand with opposition fans? Being next to many of our own is bad enough... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the choice was not seeing a game I wanted to see and sitting next to someone supporting the opposition I'd choose sitting next to someone supporting the opposition. The original discussion was about not giving us more tickets and some fans going into the home end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfatjoe1 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Anyway, it's a piece of piss getting tickets through the inter-web. West Stand, upper left, 1-10. See you all there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Rang up and renewed Season Ticket earlier. I could hear someone on another line saying still no extra tickets for Northampton yet, waiting to hear back from them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
