Going to away games - a good experience?

Could be. She goes to all the home games and expected an away game to be a fun experience. We have worked home games and never seen behaviour like that - though I did dread half time when they would all flood out and drink then flood back. I don’t think she will be in a hurry to go to another away game. Such a shame. She said they were tearing up their own stadium which shocked her.

They are currently unbeaten but I really hope they get beaten now. I have watched a couple of their games and they are a brilliant team. It is sad their fans do not represent their school as well as the football team does.

I have to say I am shocked. When she said she was going I thought it would be a great experience. It wasn’t until her friend warned her today that it even crossed my mind that there could be such unpleasantness. I wish he had been proved wrong but I guess he knows what they are like (he lives there but does not go to school there).
