Will Swansea actually carry out their threat?

That is something I wanted Reading to do when they were in the Premier League - stop people from wearing the colours of the opposition in the home stands.

So, I wonder if Swansea will actually get away with carrying out their threat? Anyone?

seen plenty thrown out of home stands for celebrating
seems a tad churlish to do so if you wear the shirt, but sit respectfully, and most importantly quietly,
like the rest of us

Presumably this is just them enforcing their own gorund regulations? Not much of a story as it happens. I'd expect the same to happen at the Madejski (if we were playing that club, I think Spacey wants everyone in anything non-Reading banned at all times)

When Reading played Liverpool in the cup a couple years ago some guy had a Liverpool shirt on under a sweatshirt. This was spotted as it wasn't tucked in. The guy was beaten up then the stewards ejected him.

Marvellous, we can be dead proud of that.

I stood next to a group of Fulham fans in the neutral end a few years ago. And guess what? We managed to resist kicking the shit out of each other.

Having seen (presumably normally rational people) descend into apoplectic fits of rage when seated near an opposing supporter, i do wonder if the stereotype of the moronic football fan is actually thoroughly deserved.

^ 'greed, JSC.

However, I just think that it's a reasonable thing for Swansea to do for this game (presumably a sell out) to make sure that their fans get to see them.

Nothing to do with hooliganism. It's the fact that those opposition fans are taking up seats that a home supporter could have had.

Its still tribalism that is unique to football fans. Gloucester fans don't get upset about Bath fans in The Shed when its sold out. In fact they positively welcome it.

Besides who are these deserving home fans? The ones who couldn't be arsed until Swansea got in the Prem?

This is one of the things I fcuking DETEST about football.

The pathetic, moronic, brain dead fcukwits who think it is okay to half kill someone because they support a different football team to them and dared to sit / walk / stand somewhere that doesn't "belong" to them.

I'd cheerfully watch the lot of them get shot in the head. And you can add those who try to justify the hooligans' behaviour to the stinking pile of corpses.

(We don't get much of that sort of behaviour at Stag Meadow you know.)

Thankfully, people like RR are in the minority at football.
