There has been lots of posts recently from 'disgruntled fans'
They don't like the London away day lads
They don't like Stone Island
They don't like the C word
They don't like drunkenness
Don't like lads abusing failure
etc etc
Do these away day lads, fight? Use racism chants? Use homophobic chants? etc.. No they don't (I've not heard / seen them if they do).
They go and have a good day out following their team, who they love, in they way they enjoy. If they like to have a few beers and use the C-word and sing on the train, who are they hurting? Especially nowadays, people need a release on a Saturday.
The North Stand used to be a great place to go on a Saturday afternoon, now it's full of old woman and wet wipes who want to be in there, because it's the North stand, but don't want any of the old antics. We now even have to have a 'separate section' to sing because so many don't bother anymore. It never used to be like that, the whole stand used to sing!!

Nothing wrong with getting your 'release'. Just don't be a cock about it. Don't sing racist songs. Don't do homophobic chanting. Don't be a drunken pain in the arse.
Plus, we had a well publicised case here no so long ago of 'away day lads' being extremely homophobic and making fellow supporters' trips worse as a result.

I respectfully suggest, that if you're feeling the need to get defensive about your behaviour on an away trip, it's not the 'disgruntled fans' who need to take a look at themselves. [Post edited 17 Jul 2022 14:02]

I wouldn't consider myself in any way a disgruntled fan.
I am a bit confused by this post though.
You mention everything that away day lads don't do, yet bemoan the fact the old antics have gone from the north stand.
What were the old antics?
The racism, homophobia and fighting, or is it just the singing?
Not looking for a row, just genuinely interested as a 25 yr veteran of the north stand. |  |

The singing point is fair enough.
The rest, not so much. |  |

Is it though? The old North had a low roof and lots of singing but there was a sizeable part of the left hand side of the stand that rarely made a sound. As today, most of the noise came from a few hundred lads on the right hand side and middle with the sound amplified by that roof. |  |

Yeah.
After a long stressful week at work, I do love to get beered up and scream the c word amongst innocent women and children on the train. Makes me feel hard and proud to be British.
Idiot.
I don’t think any fans have an issue with any other fans unless they are acting like the very word you seem to think is perfectly acceptable.
So maybe what you miss is c***s not being called out for being c***s? Which speaks for itself. |  | | |

A group of "lads" were convicted and I believe banned from the club for homophobic chants which were posted by a "disgruntled fan" on here. So yes, they do use homophobic chants.
I like London away days. I like a rowdy atmosphere. You can bring that same energy without shouting the c word, JF, Delia, and spoiling for a fight with the opposition fans.
Maybe more people would join in if you stopped singing songs that people don't want to join in with. |  |

Times change. I can remember the North Stand and J block as a kid in the 90s and it was lively, 95% was male 18-30 and certain behavior was considered normal on terraces across the country. Britpop laddish culture was all the fashion. It seemed acceptable to be boozed up, exchange the odd coin throwing match with the A Block and say/sing what you wanted. I was young but witnessed plenty of it, that was just a societal thing, I guess?
In the generation before that it was likely the norm to fight your way out of the back of the stand. Anyone who is actually trying to be like that is just a bad imitation of what it used to be like anyway and bringing unwanted attention to themselves.
The 2000s still had a bit of that in the early prem days but it’s dead now.
I like a good cauldron like atmosphere, Portman Road doesn’t have that anymore but less than ten years ago you can see what it might be like (Norwich Semi Final) if we got good again. Even that’s along time ago now though and everyone I know from back in the day that still goes just has a couple of beers and stays out of the way.
In short everyone’s got older and behaves themselves, not really a bad thing. It’s good to have an atmosphere where people can be comfortable to bring their kids etc. The youngsters trying to make noise in the side of the stand, fair play to them but maybe they could have a little education about some better old school chants.

But being a cock about it is so in vogue. Unless you've manhandled Walton you've not really had the away day experience! |  |

'Not a fan of racism, homophobia or death wishes in chants' is quite a SPECIFIC definition of 'disgruntled'. | |

Yeah, but they've never seen it, so it doesn't happen, apparently. | |

This is quite the blub. Sun got to you or have you been saving this up for a while?
You pretty much give away what you know to be impossible to defend.
"People need a release" is the cherry though. Beautiful. |  |

I enjoyed the irony of his username coupled to his defence of the worst kinds of ungentlemanly behaviour. | |

Maybe when you grow up you might realise.
Going to games with children, to have constant f words, c words coming out is hardly a great place.to take them. Personally the odd one OK, but some people constantly saying stuff.
Ok the north stand lower you need to be 18 but it still happens in other areas and away games.
Also drink people who need the toilet every 5 mins is just as irritating as them mumbling obscenities.
I get it, Ipswich are rubbish and you need to be drink to what them.......but them what's the point haha | | | |

I love a football day out on the train no matter who I'm going to see. I enjoy some breakfast beers and enjoy the crack. What I don't like doing is making other passengers' trip a misery. I've been on some trains where I've been embarrassed to be a football fan. And it's not just football. See also racing. And the very worst train I've ever been on involved middle aged Leicester rugby fans. |  | | |
