Sitting in the home end for an away game

I've never been in the home end when Everton are away, will be at Lille though.

I did sit in the home end at Anfield in a CL game though, got dragged along. It was awful in one of those lounges. That's sort of the same thing!?
 

I sat in the home end vs. Newcastle with my Newcastle-supporter pal last season when we won 3-0. When Barkley scored THAT goal, I just went ******* mental. Luckily I had no problems...a few disapproving glances here and there, but nothing too bad. Think you'll be fine mate!

Good job you're not a horse, they'd have killed you! lol

I hate Elland Road...it just oozes scruff.

I went to Leeds v Blackburn once with a Blackburn supporting mate, sat in the away end and was end of the row - also I'm tall so they could see me over the fence and singled me out for a load of Yorkshire/Lancashire crap that I really didn't care about, not being from either.

Then queueing for a beer at half time I get a load of crap from a Rovers fan because I'm not from Blackburn!

Anyway, Leeds got relegated that season and then Blackburn followed. So who's laughing now lol
 
Used to do it regularly at Bolton and Wigan when I was going with Wool mates. They'd explain I was a Blue and I got some funny looks, but it was fine. Wouldn't like to do it incognito in this country though.

Used to stand in the kop for derbies many years ago too. There were normally a few hundred of us congregated and it was accepted behaviour back then. Sadly things have changed a lot over the last 30 years.


Tau-zands in 80's, I reckon we maybe had 1/5 to a 1/4 of pish hill in 1 of them, we usually had from 1 of the roof supports to virtually the main stand, some of those Derby vids show huge numbers, they always used to go for dead centre in St End in the front part below the path.
Tbh it was far more enjoyable then, part of it being that offending each other didn't provoke a violent reaction from either, all seater stadiums with each fan being allocated their own seat kind of put an end to all of that really, as well as the fact that the capacity's were reduced so less tickets that aren't taken up by season ticket holders.
I have absolutely no problem when someone comes in the family enclosure with a kid that supports that lot but even in there people kick off to the stewards. Pathetic really.
 

did it at west brom a fortnight ago. I've done it a few times before, althought he last time before that was 2006ish i think (spurs 2-0 when johnson scored). the hardest thing i find isn't not celebrating us scoring (just a little fist pump will do with a neutral 'oh wow what a goal.') it's the having to celebrate or cheer when they score.
 
I've seen a few people mention on here that they sit in the home end for league games if they can't get a ticket in the away end. What I'm wondering is, how? If Everton go and score after ten seconds, what do you do? I've never even tried it but the very thought leads to scenes of being escorted from the building....!

I was chucked out of White Hart Lane the day Mikel Madar scored to put us 1-0 up circa '97....but not before a Spurs fan had threatened to "knife" me.

More recently I had the good sense to sit mute among the QPR fans when we scored down there two years ago.

Keeping mute when we'd score ain't the hard part.....it is what you do when they score.

Every bugger around you is going ballistic and you have to sit there, quietly applauding....:(
 
Applauded for us quite openly and jumped up for goals in numerous places as diverse as WBA, WHU, Spurs, Sunderland arsenal. Never had any trouble but I was basically polite and not OTT at any home players. Hate doing it though. Only when desperate. Kop full of Blues was ace but I cannot imagine anything worse than being among them now if they beat us.
