Midlands Yellow 3,941 Posted February 11, 2021 I was by default at the Scottish Skol cup final 87 where a young Robert Fleck made a statement. I’ve never heard noise like it when a goal went in and the partying after took a lot of Alka-Seltzer to help out. What’s the best/loudest match day experience you’ve encountered?

kick it off 1,948 Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) Fenerbahce fans are mental. Went to a pre-season at Bramall Lane a good few years back. I've followed them vaguely as my Turkish team since I lived there. They brought 2000 fans, flares, and a hell of an atmosphere. They set the stand on fire with a flare at one point. It was utter chaos. For a pre-season, against 3rd tier (at the time) opposition. Never seen anything like it, and it was a pointless pre-season against no mark opposition, 3500 miles away from Istanbul.... Incredible to be a part of. On my list to get out to the şükrü saraçoğlu when we are able to travel again. Only seen it from the outside so far. I was somewhere behind the flares 👇 Edited February 12, 2021 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted February 11, 2021 1982, Portman Road. Martin O'Neill free kick in the last minute to win us the game 3-2 - Pandemonium Simeon Jackson last minute goal vs Derby - Pandemonium Nathan Redmond's goal at Wembley - Pandemonium How many more examples would you like? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hogesar 9,618 Posted February 12, 2021 I dont think there are really more passionate sets of fans than others. Everyone is passionate about their own football club. I guess you actually mean in terms of how that's shown which @kick it off has demonstrated perfectly. I automatically lean to either clubs fans who I happen to have got on well with on an away day and had good football conversations (bizarrely most recently West Ham fans) or the more vocal fans leaning towards violent where you go away and feel a bit intimidated. I guess the last club for that was probably Wolves when I was a teenager. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had my head split open by a coin at Molineux before they put the nets up to stop projectiles being launched from the upper tier (home) at the away fans in the lower tier. I was 7. I hate Wolves and their neanderthal fans. Edited February 12, 2021 by kick it off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canario 204 Posted February 12, 2021 Probably Celtic. 5,000odd midweek for a meaningless testimonial game. All day in the pub with them and an endless songlist throughout the game. America de Cali pretty decent too though to be fair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dylanisabaddog 4,874 Posted February 12, 2021 I've never been to Argentina but River Plate v Boca Juniors is allegedly the most 'intense' football match in the world. Worth a look if you can find it on tv when/if normality returns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pearsos 56 Posted February 12, 2021 I remember Yeovil away in the FA Cup. They always created a good atmosphere when playing against the ‘big boys’. On a side note, back at the train station after the game “their boys” (about 50 of them) confronted about 1500 of us. Never heard laughter like it, even the coppers found it funny and they walked away tails between their legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that game, and knowing Yeovil was on the other side of the Country, I was amazed (easily !) that I got back home in time, to watch the game on Match of the Day. All hail British Rail!

FCC 76 Posted February 12, 2021 I always think the most passionate are those who follow a club with virtually no chance of glory, or are the massively smaller second team in a city. Think Bury, Tranmere, Barrow, - or Espanyol, 1860 Munich. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
