Premier League

Yes just be careful I’ve stood in the away end as a home fan before😂

Sure why not, sitting at your own home watching the game is relaxing.

All seriousness, dont wear your teams gear. And youre taking a ticket away from a home fan. So can you, yes. Should you…

Act like a neutral and be respectful and you’ll be ok

You're not supposed to, but especially with United away games for example you'll find there's plenty of reds in among the home fans. It's not technically allowed, it's definitely not safe, but people do it all the time. I've done it a few times, I expect other fans of big clubs do it.

​

Bottom line is don't be a dick and don't get caught, because there are plenty of parts of plenty of grounds where you'll wish the stewards threw you out if you get caught by the home fans.

​

I mean they won't kill you or anything but you might get a bunch of locals dogpile on you and give you a shoeing. I've seen a few in my time but you really have to do something idiotic like celebrating a goal to provoke a violent reaction.

People like you ruin football. If you can't get a ticket to an away game as an away supporter then you shouldn't go, it's not that complicated, you're essentially stealing seats from home supporters and providing no atmosphere because you have to sit in silence the whole game. Fuck you.

As a gunner living up north I've seen the majority of matches away.

From my experience you'll have a good time sat with home fans at:

Current premier league teams.

Liverpool Everton Man city (maybe not so much now) Aston villa Newcastle (probably not anymore) Sheffield United

Past teams:

Sunderland Wigan (best atmosphere as an away fan sat in home stands) Bolton Birmingham Middlesbrough Blackpool Blackburn

Avoid:

Man u Leeds Stoke Hull Derby Sheffield Wednesday

I once went to Fulham with an American relative quite well versed in football and knowing full well he shouldn’t cheer an away goal, but he did anyway - being in a quieter part of the ground he got a bit of verbal abuse and nothing much more. Later on Fulham equalised and people swarmed over to celebrate with in his face, but by then he had decided to celebrate Fulham’s goal as well and was jumping about like a lunatic. Cue much confusion among the home fans and I think everyone just thought he wasn’t all there and left him alone after that.

What about neutral fans or travellers?

You could also get punched in the face

I mean why would you do this anyway? Never made sense to me. You miss out on so much of the match day experience by not being with your fans and having to put on an act. Just watch it on TV and save yourself the money and aggro.

Thats hella wack you're gonna get kicked out for openly supporting your team when you pay equal amounts. Friendly banter cannot be maintained or what?

Yes it’s possible but keep your mouth shut.

I’ve had friends supporting the away team (Crystal Palace) come to a Millwall game and it was totally fine.

It is a bit brazen and home fans don't like it. I'm guessing that OP is a big six fan that 'only lives round the corner' and wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting an away ticket without points or even a season ticket to put them on.

Perverting the system is what pisses people off, especially when the majority of away fans generated their points by going to Carling cup matches away at Scunthorpe in '92. I joke, but if you have to sit in silence and not enjoy the atmosphere with like minded people, is there really any point being there? It's Elitist, but unfortunately that's the way it is.

Ok you have to do the obvious go there just for the game try make it a neutral day and relax and enjoy a football game with team you know. That way you won’t get overly involved and start cheering

So basically think of bad and sad things in the world and think how coming together for football is great for us all.
