We had the aftermath as they was taking the guy concerned out when the Southampton steward thought it was a great idea to try and drag the guy who wasn't reissting down the stairs he wedged his feet on the stairs and tried to find extra leverage and landed in our laps . Way way over the top from the steward | |

Usual punch between fans on 20:33 - Sep 27 by Rblock_James | No. It's unnatural. And to be honest I feel like a dick singing and clapping whilst seated next to someone who is silent. Football is supposed to be watched by standing up, unless you're in your front room Time and again the atmosphere is completely killed by everyone sitting down. We're in a minority of clubs that do it. |
Unfortunately the laws of the land and or stadium regulations say different, the choice between standing or sitting used to be easy, go on the terraces or sit in the grandstand, that choice has long since been removed, I don't mind sitting or standing but under no circumstance if someone in the row or two behind me and physically can't see because of standing then I will sit out of common decency. As for sitting in the wrong seats what happens if the person who's seat I've moved to want to sit in his designated seat? Will cause untold problems, only way round it is unreserved seating and most clubs won't do that. | |

Usual punch between fans on 12:33 - Sep 28 with 3047 views | paulparker | Probably the same bell end who was sat 2 rows Infront of me at wembley He was drugged off his head just standing up for the sake of it Next to his girlfriend An old boy told him to sit down , which was then met by A load of abuse calling him a kunt , not a fan etc The poor old boy was with his wife FFS Me and a few others told the bell end to sit down or be Knocked down , loads of kids including my daughter in that section as well , Luckliy bobby scored and nothing happened But Clive's right we do have some plums support us Who can't handle their ale or Charlie Picking on granddads and small boys is the thing of Kunts | |

Usual punch between fans on 12:54 - Sep 28 with 3001 views | DieByYourSide | All those who are against standing up count yourselves lucky you support QPR and not another team cause there wouldn't even be a discussion you'd be standing or looking at someones back for 90mins. Just one of the reasons awaydays are so unenjoyable these days. | |

Not against it, but we do have a few pensioners and small kids that are regular away dayers, just think people need to be less selfish and think of others for a change, sitting down doesn't make you any less of a fan, I spend the same money travelling to the games as anyone else, as I said previously if people are standing then I will stand but if I'm blocking someone less able in the process then I will sit out of common decency.

Usual punch between fans on 11:52 - Sep 28 by daveB | half the problem with atmosphere is those wanting to sing spend most of their time shouting at everyone else for not singing or standing up when really they should just respect other peoples right to want to sit in the seat they have paid 39 quid for. It's quite easy to sing and get behind the team from a seated postion [Post edited 28 Sep 2014 11:53]

It's not easy though is it? Because, 99% of the time when we sit most people do so in silence. Don't know whether that's because they are sitting, or generally not interested in joining in. | | | |

Usual punch between fans on 13:37 - Sep 28 with 2884 views | Hadders | I rarely go away and wasn`t there yesterday. Roughly how many were singing that old Sol Campbell song about Remy? That is probably the most revolting song I have ever heard (apart from the gas chamber ones directed at Spurs, perhaps), and I trust that decent Rangers fans will tell any dick singing that again to shut the **** up or be reported. There is "banter" and pantomime abuse and...that. Chelsea away is coming soon and the thought of our mob singing that (while Costa completes his double hat-trick) is beyond depressing.

Usual punch between fans on 10:59 - Sep 28 by Northernr | Not the nicest thing you'll ever see at the football. It happened because we finally got a bloody corner and took the sodding thing short. A total waste of an opportunity that got a few backs up, bit of abuse, bit of Redknapp slating, bit of booing. Presumably the guy sitting in front of us with his lad said something or booed or something - he'd been sitting quietly watching the game with his lad before that - because the guy in front stood up and absolutely went for him, screaming in his face, threatening him saying he should support the team or fck off and all of this. Very aggressive, horrible language, and totally over the top, flanked by some chinless dick in a purple jumper also piling into this guy. The poor kid was absolutely terrified and in floods of tears so a few QPR fans got involved telling the fcking gibbon he was out of order. He was either drunk or drugged or something, just completely lost it. Anyway, wrestled out by the police and absolutely deserved it. Purple jumper hero decided he didn't want to go out so decided he was going to stand and hug his girlfriend and cry as if he was the victim (you've got a real winner there love) then when it had all calmed down and he'd made sure the police had gone he kicked off again, yelling over his gf's head at everybody. So the dad and his lad moved out of the way to the end of the row but the kid was really shaken up and after the second Saints goal his dad took him home. He's really going to want to come back and watch QPR now isn't he? In summary we have some fcking weapons following our club. |
Sounds like another fantastic away day following Rangers. Gutted I missed it. | | | |

Don't worry, they'll probably grow up in about twenty years time, when they're drawing their pensions. This scenario has been played out on many occasions over the past ten years or so. | | | |
Usual punch between fans on 14:16 - Sep 28 with 2785 views | NW5Hoop | First, let me say I fully support the introduction of safe standing. I used to stand and vastly preferred it to sitting. Second, in the absence of safe standing, I believe clubs selling tickets for away games should offer fans the choice of where their seats are, so those who want to go to the back and stand can do so, while those who want to be elsewhere can do that, too. That way everyone will be happy. But until then … 1. This golden age when everyone stood up at the football. When was this? Because I distinctly remember grounds where half the capacity was seated. Is my memory playing tricks on me? 2. The line that those who've got seats at the back should go elsewhere when the singers arrive, because they'll have left vacant seats. Yes, but where? You could just go and sit in a vacant seat, but what if it's not one of the ones vacated by a singer? Should those people who've left their seats at the back for you reallybe expected to wander round trying to find the seat you've left empty? Or do you have ticket exchange in mind? (If so, good for you; genuinely - I'm not being sarcastic. Perhaps there could be a back-for-front away tickets exchange here.) 3. Why can't you sing sitting down? Because it feels unnatural? That's your problem, not anyone else's. Plenty of singing at Wembley, and most were sitting down. 4. Look around you at the away end. Most people want to sit down, not stand up. Who gave you the right to say they are all in the wrong and you can do what you want? 5. What about the old, the young, the infirm, for whom the game is ruined if everyone stands up?

Usual punch between fans on 15:03 - Sep 28 with 2601 views | Rblock_James | If the majority want to sit down then fine, but can we all finally admit that our away support is fcking shite and no more Fulham piss taking. Those who want to sit are so bloody lucky you support QPR. 90% of clubs stand away from home. Fact. Sitting down kills the atmosphere, it's not even up for debate. And if you can't grip that idea then you never will. | | | |

Most of us don't take the p*ss out of Fulham. Because we know our support and theirs are very similar. What really pisses me off is this fixation that there's only one way to support a team, and that one small group of people has the monopoly on that. That everyone else is a Tarquin or a part-timer or a glory-hunter or some other second class citizen. There are as many different kinds of supporters as there are people. | | | |
Usual punch between fans on 15:11 - Sep 28 with 2582 views | Tracy_S | Glad we were able to move away at half time. I've seen it time and time again at away games and though I don't go to as many as I would like to these days, for this kind of incident to still be occurring esp when young kids are involved is too disgusting for words. As for the standing/sitting issue, I'm an old girl these days and like to sit in my seat.! | | | |

jaaaaaaaaaaaaaysus really? Fook me, we can't even be despicably offensive in an original manner.

Not really the point of the topic is it, try and save that for a relevant thread, there are plenty of those.
