I personally don’t believe that. Some people just lie to join in the beat the fans shit!! Just my opinion. Had about 15 young lads in front of me and my girlfriend they was loud and pissed up but good as gold to be fair. I don’t expect people to be angels at footie

There was a good couple of hundred trouble makers there yesterday and had there been any sort of opposition it would have kicked off for sure.

I was in The Swan Hotel at 11.30ish and it was literally wall to wall with the Stone Island crew, anything from 17 up to 40’s.

If we get Leicester you can expect plenty of disorder I’d imagine....

Nothing wrong with Stone Island btw...

If you ever get whacked on the head with a bottle thrown by your fellow fans remember to come on here to tell us how hilarious it was.

The lady (70+) in the wheel chair always leaves 10 minutes before the end and goes straight to the taxi rank.
Those pushing in went into the road at the taxi rank to grab the taxi's as the lady kept saying i'm first.
Okay it happens. But when challenged by the carer the older guy got in his face and that of others who pointed out she was disabled.
I was waiting for my Uber so watched it all over several minutes.

There were some there yesterday who had no interest in the game, I made one of my famous visits to the toilet during the first half and there were fans singing in the bar next to the toilet, my lad who seems to have inherited my feeble bladder came back and told me there were people doing coke. I've no problem with bad language, I actually like the smoke bombs, but throwing bottles, pissing where you stand abusing fellow supporters (disabled or otherwise) is unacceptable to me. I honestly think some only go to get on YouTube or social media sites for their extreme behaviour. Apart from that it was a great day to be a sky blue

On the train some lads were singing and the repertoire moved on to SOTV. The presence of women and kids was pointed out so the words were quickly changed to “Poo on the Villa...because the Villa are Poo” - pretty funny.

It's tricky because, despite some stupid behaviour, the younger lot on the beer tend to be the ones that are the driving force behind the atmosphere.

There are plenty of Coventry away games that are devoid of any atmosphere due to that demographic of supporter not being there.

I have seen comments from supporters around the world on twitter and Facebook praising the celebrations. Many saying some of the best they have ever seen.

It's a shame that at away games there is no way of positioning fans. At home games if you want to sing, be rowdy and swear you sit in the corner. If you have kids and want to stay away from that you sit in the JSB.

There are definitley some cases where things like Northampton away and Sheffield Utd at home happen because of the anger towards SISU. The SBT organised protests at Northampton, which I agreed with but sadly they got out of hand and resulted in fans on the pitch, flares and missiles being thrown at the home supporters. Im furious at what sisu have done to this great club and they deserve the backlash they get.

Yesterday had nothing to do with that. What’s the excuse for yesterday’s behaviour from the fans?

Shouldn’t everyone going to the game yesterday including families be able to enjoy the occasion and not feel threatened? Nothing wrong with being loud and passionate, but should we really have to dodge bottles thrown by our own fans?

Stone Island is just a clothing brand, there’s no guarantee that anyone wearing it is going to be causing trouble. I prefer CP Company myself but find the tarring of stone island a bit unfair. It’s better than wearing superdry or jogger jeans like the melt in front of me yesterday.

Haha sorry Claude that was a bit of a tongue in cheek remark. My theory is always to enjoy the day and make the most of it - always avoided swearing in front of kids or women on the train and your usual bits of etiquettete but I dare say for some that penny won’t drop for another couple of years.

It's called 'respect' for others. We all want to enjoy ourselves on such occasions...but if enjoying yourself means ruining the occasion for your fellow fans - that's just unacceptable.

I mean - if you exercise your right to go to the toilet. Is it acceptable for me to come in & exercise my right to enjoy myself by taking a piss in your pocket because I think that's funny?

it's all about where you draw the line for 'acceptable behaviour' - unfortunately some (not just football fans) don't even know there is a sodding line!!!

Must admit, I reckon it is one of the best match day experiences overall. For me it just has a strangely cozy feel about it & the 2x I have been there so far there has been a great atmosphere (from the SBA at least)

All this shit is exactly why I detest all-seater stadia. I need to be able to just drift away from the pricks and find somewhere that I don't feel like my blood pressure is going through the roof.
As a Covered Ender/West Ender I could do just that (and there were plenty of pricks in there in the sixties/seventies) but then they fucked it all by installing seats. Gah.

Letting off flares in the Swan Hotel. You must be dead 'ard. I'm sure the landlord enjoyed clearing up the mess too.

I'm sure that there were some actually 'having a good giggle about it' but was that mostly down to the embarrassment of wanting to thump the bastard the threw it but not knowing who to thump!? Plus the worry of being viewed as a bit of a wimp if they showed their true feeling/thoughts?

I don’t think the protests at Northampton (pitch invasions flares etc) were anything to do with the Trust. Pitch invasions yesterday seemed to me to be only for the self publisiation of those that ran onto the pitch. As mentioned on another thread, it takes away from the players who have actually produced a goal/win. Completely different to protests which I understand completely.

I thought they were, they fanned the flames before the match and encouraged fans to disrupt the match, then distances themselves from any of it after the match and said well we never said to set flares off. At the time I worked in Northampton and it was embarrassing going into work on the Monday.

That has to of been the 4th or 5th flare incident I’ve witnessed these season, now it’s becoming the normal to chuck flares, pints and lighters onto the pitch. I don’t have any problem with it, it’s to be expected when the fans are at breaking point - we’re in league 2 and homeless, again, in 10 home games.

I left the Northampton match early last season and spent the last few minutes of the game on the hill talking to some of the guys from the Trust. The word one of them used to describe what he had seen(from the Hill) and heard from people like myself, leaving early was that it was “toxic” inside Sixfields. He certainly wasn’t in agreement with what went on.
Where do you draw your opinion from that they were fanning the flames for what went on? Anything that came from the Trust or the Jimmy Hill Way group last season insisted that any protests should be peaceful and legal. That said, I don’t think they would condemn those who did protest at Northampton as they realise we all have had enough of Sisu, they just wouldn’t condone their methods.
Those who threw things or who ran onto the pitch on Saturday, in my opinion, weren’t protesting or even thinking about Sisu. To bracket the two together I think does a disservice to those who have tried to take a stand against Sisu.

CP Company is very nice and one of the best in terms of craftmanship. Only ever wear Stone Island over in Italy though as it doesn't really have any of the same connotations as over here.
