ponsaelius Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Away games can be a lot of money. If I'm doing them these days I want to make a proper day/weekend of it and justify the expense. Being cattled in on a bus to a single grotty pub is basically a waste of a day - particularly if the result goes to shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone should be free to visit and enjoy a town or city even in a football top as long as they are not acting like complete cunts. It’s a free country as they say. Thankfully, mostly, I’ve experienced good times when all over the U.K., it’s just certain places, Sunderland of course, the blue half of Liverpool and sometimes the red half, wolves and for some weird reason parts of Kent! Not really why should a Wolves fan get to experience every bar in our city, whilst our lot are turned away everywhere. In life you treat others how they treat you is my experience. It may make their away fans push for their city pubs to be more accommodating in return. Edited August 29, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Because treating cities as a monolith is infantile. I love pre and post match craic with opposition fans. Aggro is for cunts. Edited August 29, 2022 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from the mackems most clubs get free reign to drink where they want as long as they don’t act up. Because that’s the way it should be. 95% of fans of any team are sound and just want a drink and a bit of a laugh with opposition fans (away from the stadium and surrounding area). It’s a massive shame whoever’s in charge of what happens in Wolverhampton on match days still thinks it’s the 1980’s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t be many better away trips all in. Nothing arrogant at all, I know fans of many clubs and they love coming here and I’ve had many up for a game when I used to have a ST just before Ashley. Some even become followers of the ‘Heed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

number37 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Isn't it mostly why we get that Yorkshire rugby thing every year? The whole original point of it was to have it in a different place each year where they don't naturally care about it (99.999999% of Britain) so they can spread their message but they've now settled on us because you can be straight out on the piss in any number of pubs within a square mile after the Bradford and Bingley game has finished. It's the cross we have to bear for being so mint and friendly, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle is a canny day out with enough eateries and boozers. Further afield you have decent coastline and countryside. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want my city and ideally the entire world to be as fully hospitable to anyone visiting, footy or no footy, race, ethnicity, sex, sexuality, religion etc. We should be thankful our fair city is one of those places where a supporter of say Wolves can come to here and enjoy a drink without being told to get the fuck out or get aggro. It happens, of course, but from all my years drinking in the city and following NUFC, it’s only mainly when rival fans have been utter cunts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieDazzler Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 It happens at most away grounds because there is only like 4 pubs within walking distance. Would be the same here if the stadium was out in the sticks. The sheer amount of establishments in Newcastle means overall very little bother as people aren’t penned apart from each other. 99% of away fans I meet pre game are sound.
