There were plenty of bell ends about on Saturday but the vast majority of the 8,000+ were top form. Some truly indefensible stuff in this thread, mainly the pissing on the back wall and the taxi story is tragic. Speaking of tragic, we had fans run on the pitch when going 0-1 up against a team that has existed for about 14 years. Some of which were fully grown adults.

I left the Northampton match early last season and spent the last few minutes of the game on the hill talking to some of the guys from the Trust. The word one of them used to describe what he had seen(from the Hill) and heard from people like myself, leaving early was that it was “toxic” inside Sixfields. He certainly wasn’t in agreement with what went on.
Where do you draw your opinion from that they were fanning the flames for what went on? Anything that came from the Trust or the Jimmy Hill Way group last season insisted that any protests should be peaceful and legal. That said, I don’t think they would condemn those who did protest at Northampton as they realise we all have had enough of Sisu, they just wouldn’t condone their methods.
Those who threw things or who ran onto the pitch on Saturday, in my opinion, weren’t protesting or even thinking about Sisu. To bracket the two together I think does a disservice to those who have tried to take a stand against Sisu.

I’m not solely blaming the trust for Northampton Away but I feel they were one of the reasons that day went the way it happened. It was our first return to Sixfields, SBT encouraged protests, everyone was on the beer all day, we had Slade in charge, Fisher was sat with their directors laughing and they were endlessly singing ‘stand up if you’ve got a ground.’ It was a combination of factors that led to what went on.


I’m not saying people run on the pitch and throw missiles because they’ve got SISU at the forefront of their mind, I’m saying there’s a toxic atmosphere amongst our fans in general at the moment and has been since last season – and SISU have caused that. On the upside, the atmosphere of our away followings has gone through the roof– at points on Saturday the PUSBs were deafening.

Im heartily sick of the apologists on here saying 'it was a bit of a larf'.... 'it was only lads having a good day out' etc etc
Bottom line is that it was utterly crap behaviour from a small percentage of our supporters. I sincerely hope action is brought against those coming on the pitch after we scored. Life time ban ?? Nahhhh.....a couple of years will be more than enough to make the rest sit up & take notice.

Again, it's nothing to do with being toxic what happened at the weekend. It's to do with people who can't handle their beer and generally not knowing how to behave.

Throwing bottles into fellow fans?

At what point does it go past blaming sisu and to blaming people for being dicks?

Stone Island is just a clothing brand, there’s no guarantee that anyone wearing it is going to be causing trouble. I prefer CP Company myself but find the tarring of stone island a bit unfair. It’s better than wearing superdry or jogger jeans like the melt in front of me yesterday.

By wearing Stone Island, CP company clobber etc. you basically brand yourself as a c*nt........no 2 ways about it.....

Its like driving a Audi Q7 or wearing a Burberry check scarf between 1997-2004........it just screams "C*NT".

We had a great day, on the beer most of it but we had a good laugh. I agree with most on here, you can go out and have a drink but there is a line to cross but sadly everyone's classification of that line is different (some were in the cubicles!). We walked up from the station with about 10 other younger lads all drinking out of Jager bottles but to be honest they were fine, talking about the football and bumped into them later and they were the same.

You will always get idiots but our club is not exception to this but I think most had a great day.

Have a day off. A few fans on the pitch celebrating a goal is good to see. Better than the dreadful sanitised day out that Milton Keynes otherwise represents

Nonsense. Like saying it’s highly likely someone wearing a Lacoste polo is likely to want a game of tennis. I’ve got an Aquascutum scarf at home, doesn’t mean I’m more likely to throw missiles or flares than somebody that doesn’t. They’re just clothes brands,

You wouldn't catch me in my Lonsdale / Spliffy Jean combination getting into trouble. Might rip my fake Naff Naff jacket.

Saturday was a great day out. The Swan was rocking, but didn't see any trouble all afternoon. Didn't see any aggressive behaviour all day. A few fans spilled onto the pitch when we scored - so what. It was pretty harmless in the scheme of things. Throwing bottles - that's naughty, and there may have been one or two isolated incidents I didn't see, so I'm not saying lines weren't crossed at certain times, but they were very isolated. I'm just amazed how easily 'outraged' some people seem to get. Take a break.

As I said earlier in the thread, let's see how understanding you are when a bottle smacks you on the head. I bet you wouldn't be full of the "yeah but's..." then.

Wearing stone island at footy as an advertisement of your hardness along with with all your sheep friends.

Mostly cowards who'd shit themselves at any real aggro.

I’d disagree, it’s entered the mainstream now. Drake wears it, doesn’t mean he’s going to be chucking flares at Milton Keynes away.

You're wasting your breath. Not a fan of SI clobber myself, not my thing, but if it was I probably wouldn't wear it for fear of being incorrectly labelled by half-wits who think its possible to make an instant judgement of somebody based on what sweater they choose to wear.

Stone Island at football is a uniform for half wit wannabe hooligans.

You know it, i know it.

It was Tacchini in my day. I remember spending a weeks wages (£60) in 1984 on one jumper from a shop near where the army recruitment place is (or used to be). Horrendous it was too.

Or the half wits who make excuses for bad behaviour. Few of those about too.

I don't need to.

I do wish you had though, because I condemned the bottle throwing, just as everyone else has. I was referring to the outrage about a few fans spilling onto the pitch in celebration and making the general point that I didn't see any aggressive behaviour all day. You'll always get a handful of idiots in a massive, excitable following like that.

Smoke Bombs, not flares ;)

Personally, have no issue with Smoke Bombs if just let off. If they are thrown at people that's a bit different.

I agree that Its a stereotype.....but thats where stereotypes come from........just like my comparison with the Audi Q7......I'm sure there are 1 or 2 people in the country who drive them that are NOT grade A cunts.......but you'd never catch me driving one because I don't want everyone to think I'm a c**t....

I did once own a lovely pair of SI black jeans back in the 1990s......but after an away day to Old Trafford where I noticed it was the label of choice for their hoolies.....I gave them to the charity shop.

Besides.....if you want a really nice jumper, you've gotta go for a John Smedley.......fine quality knitwear.

No Smedley, that’s for people from Kenilworth. Lacoste, Boss, Paul Smith, CP Company, Aquascutum, Moncler, Adidas and the brand with the compass, are easily the best stuff going ;)

I have no idea of the safety of smoke bombs versus flares or anything else, but I was less bothered by those than some of the other stuff going on. The sky blue smoke does look good and if I'm honest I did find it funny when the stewards came for it an they were passing it around to eachother. Not condoning before I'm accused of it as I'm sure in the wrong hands they could be a problem, but that incident amused my tiny mind.
