Can you sit in home as an away fan? (alien.top)

Going to a game in couple weeks, and I’m an away fan but there was no tickets left so I’ve bought home tickets. Is this allowed?? Could I get kicked out?

Depends. I've watched Man City (many times) and Man United (once) at their home grounds, with the home fans, as an Evertonian, and never felt unsafe in any way. Obviously I didn't let it be known that I'm an Evertonian, but it felt like I was sat amongst jovial, friendly home fans and a LOT of tourists. This isn't a dig at either club. (I guess I was a tourist too!)

I watched Bolton vs Everton amongst the home fans and was frightened, genuinely frightened. It wasn't much better watching Stockport County V Everton, very unpleasant. Admittedly this was a good few years ago. One Everton fan at Edgeley park celebrated an Everton goal and got punched in the head, I mean a real punch, someone stood up behind him and lamped him. The Evertonian was only a young lad too. Others were trying to throw punches as a steward dragged him away. Yes he was stupid to celebrate, but didn't deserve that.
