Our fans

Quoted from mimma

Smoke bombs were thrown from the kop on Saturday but it doesn't get a mention on their forum

Yes but not in a confined space amongst your own fans.

Yes but not in a confined space amongst your own fans.

And as a home supporter you know where the morons congregate in your home ground and can choose to go elsewhere. When you’re an away fan you don’t have that luxury. You’re stuck with the cretins.

Quoted from lew chaterleys lover

Every club in the country have good and bad stories about their own fans because we are all part of wider society.

I would prefer it if those who break the law were punished and just let the rest of us enjoy a fabulous day out.

There are no laws on showing respect and consideration for other though are there? That just comes down to people not being selfish and only interested in themselves.

Of course there aren't and in a perfect world we would always be kind and considerate to everyone.  It never will be a perfect world though and some drunken or loutish behaviour is baked in when it comes to football .

It is very irritating when you are directly affected and it has happened to me in the past but wishing it were different is just that - wishful thinking.

Those that really overstep the mark should be punished but until society changes I don't know what the answer is to anti social behaviour.

It does annoy me that a few have to act like prats who turn into idiots after a few drinks.. Most away games, even down here in the south west there's something.
But... The good massively outways the negatives. Our fans are amazing and the numbers they travel in is redicilous

Lets put things into perspective here, we had an away support of 2,500 fans which for a non league team is absolutely amazing and there are some teams in the championship that would be envious of the away support we have, but whatever the numbers of supporters we take to away games or we get at home games you will always get a few knobheads that spoil it for the rest of us but unfortunately you have to accept that’s the way it is and I don’t think it will ever change.

You do not have to accept it, it will not get any better until people stop accepting it. There have been many on he condemning the actions of the idiots at County but I bet that is all they do. We can't let the minority spoil it for the majority.  Transport for London (and BTP) have a saying "SEE IT, SAY IT, SORTED". Football need a similar campaign that allows fans to easily report bad behavior, racism etc. Thing will not change until everyone does something to stop it, do not turn a blind eye. Write/email the club (safety officer), the National League, the local authority, your MP, the media. Lets make it less possible for incidents like Saturday to happen in the future. This will not happen overnight, but it can be achieved but only if you want it to. Unless you help to improve thing the authorities (Clubs, Local Authorities & Police) will take the easy way out limiting away followings, insisting on early kick-offs, banning alcohol on trains and in the ground, and stopping fans visiting pubs. We have a fantastic fan base and especially our away following, I do not want this to be jeopardised by a small minority,

Try not to take this the wrong way, but after watching someone spark a fág up in the stand, then push his way into someone else’s seat, then hear him racially abuse one of our players, then subject you to a foul-mouthed tirade, did it not occur to you - at any point - to maybe say something to a steward or one of the police officers in the ground?

There’s no point writing to your MP or the press when you’ve ignored the actual method designed to deal with these situations. The stewards aren’t there for decoration.

One ‘fan’ caused more damage in 17 years than any spotty kid wearing snide gear, every fornicator seemed to accept that, even defended it…

So I am assuming you have written to the safety officer, the National league, the local authority, our MP and the media to make them aware of the behaviour you witnessed on Saturday? Or are you expecting everybody else to do it instead?
