The Trouble Yesterday..

I've seen a video somewhere of the concourse pre Donny. I'll be honest. They've all got the typical gear on they usually wear and I have never seen any of them at swindon, fgr Newport, Northampton etc...
Genuine question, do they go to home games? If so where do they all sit/stand? Or are they your typical I'm staying in the pub or home on the xbox unless it's a local derby?

Quoted from davmariner

I don’t go to away games anymore for this reason. There are too many cretins that go to away matches for the purposes of getting drunk up and causing trouble.

As an exile Yes i go to away games but i am very fussy to where/ whom i stand  near to support  the "Town"  making a "risk assessment " to avoid  the away "Windowlicker" element  of Mariners support.

As another exile, I think that the worst behaviour is at  games nearer to GY, although that may be down to increased numbers. I arrived just ahead of the mounted police escort of fans and overheard two Donny lads say ‘ Here come Grimsby, they are a bit weird’.
Secondly, if stewards allow two hundred or so to meander around the front and never to take a seat, then it was always going to get toxic.

Good job the thefishy was not around in seventies & eighties when I first started supporting Town.
It would be full stories of trouble

The good old CBP days?

Had a few near us in the row behind us that were all a bit unnecessary, and suffering from the affects of drinking on empty heads. That were also impressed with themselves for singing a song about their coke taking habits.

They were loud and obnoxious for the wrong reasons, amongst good people and family’s, and was ruining any enjoyment there was.

I had some strong words with them, and told them that if they persisted, then I’d personally have them out of the joint. They soon quietened down rather sheepishly apart from some grumbles about me. Then one of them peaked far too soon and fell asleep.

Pleased to report thst they went elsewhere at half time.

Idiots

As someone who sits between all four areas at BP these days due to not having a season ticket, I’ve no idea where these sorts end up at home games. I’m aware we have them but I think this seems to be a problem on away days more certainly on my experience.

I'm pretty sure they don't go to home games, you never see them or their 'gear' unless it's a Derby game.

All fanbases have these kind of people. I went to the Exeter game on Saturday and there was 100+ stone island wearing youngsters with many other young fans wearing 'normal clothes'. Difference was these guys were in good spirit and sang for 90 minutes non stop (even at 1-0 down).

Not sure where you are going with this really  Are you talking about people that wear cp company, stone island etc or are you saying something else? Just because some people wear certain clothes and instigate or get caught up in trouble, you can’t tarnish everyone with the same brush.

I wear those brands of clothes, my son does as do my mates, but we’re not kicking off everywhere. Personally, after spending a few hundred on clothes, the last thing I’d be wanting to do is get them ruined.

I’ve seen blokes in £1000 suits in the city kicking off with each other. I don’t necessarily think it’s the clothing that makes people act a certain way.
