I met two Wednesday fans on the train up to Brum on Saturday and they didn’t think that guy who made those gestures to Palmer was that bad and Palmer started it.
You couldn’t make it up!!
My son is talking about taking my nine year old granddaughter to her first away game. She has a season ticket and is just starting to get into the game. We sit in Block 20 and we are generally surrounded by fairly decent people. I’m not sure that letting her see some of the behaviour that occurs in our end when away would be a good thing. I have to say that unfortunately some of the dregs of society go to football.
I don’t know how it works for definite but I’ve found when getting away tickets with a child that you tend to be near other families in a bit of a pseudo-family zone and well away from any of that business, I’ve assumed it’s allocated that way intentionally. Relatively small sample size on my part though so others may have a different experience.

Tbf because we've high points and are in the first allocation batch, then historically we've often been next to lots of the same people at most games. I assume they're sold in a particular order if you let it automatically select seats. This season has been a bit different though as either more people are now getting points or the novelty has worn off for some, but we seem to be far more random.
Tbf it's my biggest in the against column gor drinking in stands. I think most would be fine these days but some as per the euros would chuck it in the air when celebrating and I think the would cause plenty if agro.
I've been firmly against fans having alcohol at their seats ever since I got hit by a largely full launched pint (who knows how they managed to smuggle it in) after Thomas' goal in the CT Final. I looked back and saw the person who threw it, they clearly thought it was the funniest thing that had ever happened to him.
The videos of Boxpark fans holding their pints ready to launch has just solidified this belief. I really don't want to have to deal with being soaked by Madri after EMC scores a 21st minute goal against Hull.
