Worst fans you have experienced on away trips????

[CANARY CHARGE 0]

I got a few, remembering going to Elland road and we park at the back of the cantilever stand, you had to walk through a tunnel to get back, lined with Leeds fans!! bricked my self.

Also went to watch Norwich play Grimsby in the FA cup, before the grimsby fans warned us not hang about!! They weren''t wrong, we parked in cleethorpes, as we where walking back i heard some chanting i turned around there where 100 fans on the other side, follow 30 of us, i was 16ish as they started to run me and my mate whipped off our shirts and hid in a garden!

And 1 more for you! Norwich V''s middlesbrough at ayesome park! after the game we got lost in the city, drove into middlesbrough fans, as a welcome they chucked a full coke can through the front window!! lovely!

I might as well get in there first and say Millwall.  Saw us play them at the old den and the new and will not go there again.

I do not have a problem with banter between fans, but to have large sections of the crowd not even bothering to watch the game or celebrate when their team scores as it would interrupt the stream of abuse and aggression they want to send the away fans way is not on.

I am sure there are a lot of nice Millwall fans out there, and even more Danny Bakers, but they seem to have a disproportionate amount of scum!

Had a hell of a time at Hull a few seasons ago. Thank goodness there was a metal fence in between us and them. [:S]

For me there is no question - Wolves.

I''ve had unpleasant experiences at Portsmouth. One evening match at Fratton Park, we were held back on the terraces until the home fans had cleared. For some reason they were letting them pass by between ourselves and the pitch. One guy in a wheelchair was swearing and even spat at us right in front of the stewards. When I shouted ''clamp the b******'' the stewards finally acted by coming over, acting all heavy handed on me and threatening to bring in the police. We also copped abuse all the way back to where we parked the car.

Small town club with a small club fanbase and mentality.

On basis of worst being most pathetic - Reading fans for me every time.

Its easy to say Millwall, Leeds, Wolves and Cardiff as they are the ones with the generally bad reputation.  There are many others where you can easily get yourself a problem by being in the wrong pub or place.

Burnley and Sheffield United were probably 2 of the worst in recent years with Bristol City not much better. None of these you would fancy a prematch pint in the local pubs. This season is going to be pretty tasty at a lot of the away grounds. Some of these teams fans are stuck in the 70''s and will be well up to test themselves when the big boys come to town. This will be one down side to our reputation of big travelling support.

Ask this question again at the end of the season and I think many posters will have a tale or two to tell about this season.

You will get idiots where ever you travel, unfortunely there will probably be some at our club who will just look for trouble and you will just be unlucky if you find them.

But one of my worst experiences was at Sheffield Wednesday, there was three of us together and we were walking back from the match to the bus station in Hillsborough to go home, and as we were walking back a group of Wednesday fans seemed to pinpoint us, shouting, swearing, trying to push us over and i guess antagonize us, eventually they gave up after trying to throw an egg at us twice but missing.

Canarycharge - Was there a lot of snow on your trip to Grimsby?, if so I think you will find it was the Milk Cup rather tahn the FA Cup. I went to the Milk Cup game and I have to say that the locals in Cleethorpes were rather aggressive!!

QPR are the worst I have come across. If you dont know the place well, then you could end up in alot of trouble, espeically down Shepherds Bush.

 i went to stoke and cardiff, both fine, although i wouldnt have wanted to wonder round stoke after the game!!!

At cardiff we parked about a mile away, and it was a nice walk back chatting to cardiff fans, and we won!

A mate of mine & fellow season ticket holder was working in London recently & speaking to some Orient fans who are looking forward to a good dust up with any Norwich fans who are up for it! Also, a couple of Exeter fans (lorry drivers) were there & says they were very agressive. There exact words were "You think you''re a big club, well you wait til your fans come down to Exeter, boy,  we''re gonna f*** you up"!!... Nice!

In over 40 years of following City home and away the only time I''ve felt really threatened was on the tube after we played Chelsea in the FA Cup in the late 60s. Two of us found ourselves in a carriage with a bunch from ''The Shed'' who made it quiet clear they were going to beat us senseless. Very very fortunately some big beefy Norfolk farm workers got on at gthe next stop and ''The Shed'' mob suddenly went very quiet. But they were animals and some.

Had a bad experience at Bradford a few years ago.  Not in the ground but afterwards, as we were walking back to the town centre a group of their idiots tried to barge us off the pavement into the traffic.

Most clubs have a few, it just depends whether you''re unlucky enough to run into them.  I''ve been to Millwall 3 or 4 times and never had a problem, once I got separated from the others after the game and was lost in the middle of an urban wasteland, and some of theirs took me all the way to the station.  Wolves have an element who are a royal pain during the game but they should sort out the seating so that the away fans aren''t right next to them.

Wolves.  Bunch of inner city scum.

porstmouth. sept 97. 1-1 pompey were winning 1-0 til neil adams scored a pen in 94th minute!! absolute carnage outside their dump of a ground afterwards. our fans including kids being kicked and spat on.

 

other would be ipswich away 98. midweek game. kicked off between portaloo road and the station after the game. horse crap, bottles and bricks all being hurled at us.  people moan about the sunday noon kick off (when we are in the same league!!) but at least we dont have to go back home stinking of horse crap like previous years!!

Hi all, occasional poster but will become more active now the season starting! Has got to be Wolves. Me and my mate were surrounded by six blokes after the play off semi final a few years ago whilst walking back to our car. They spotted us leaving the norwich escort and followed us. Was only thanks to one man with common sense who told the others to leave us that we escaped unscathed! When we finally got back to our car we were very relieved and very happy to be going to cardiff!!

[Disco Dales Tash 0]

Crystal Palace for me, 4 seasons ago before the game we were in one of the locals when a brick came flying through the window with 30 or so Palace fans doing their over-hyped throat slit gesture.Luckily the Police rounded them up and we made the game with no probs!

Millwall 2001. We lost 4-0. Before the game my friend purchased a programme. Handing over said item the friendly seller said to my mate ''''there you go you carrot crunching c***!'''' Nice chap!

Also Wolves in the play offs. Before the game a Wolves fan spat at my mate, admittedly he was wearing shirt bearing the name ''''De Blasiis!''''

If Matty Svensson played for them then i was there that night and yes, it was very intimidating- i`m not sure i`ve ever seen a crowd with such a high percentage of 18-40 year old skinheads.  Ok outside the ground though.

Wolves have basically got themselves a reputation for picking on anyone who looks as though they won`t have a go back.  Had a few bad experiences with Sheff.Utd including about 8 youths picking on a lone City supporting black teenager (Yep, the obvious....[:@]) after a home game- and i`m proud to say a few of us, erm...put a stop to it....[;)]

This season alot of clubs will have an element which will only come out when Leeds/Charlton/Saints/local rivals and NCFC come to town so best stick together and keep your wits about you IMO.

If that was on the main street up from the station, they were actually Norwich.
