Bit over the top but a silly to wear the shirt as all you need is one or two fans taking exception and you’re getting chucked out to keep the peace.
Sounds like a bunch of jobsworth stewards. Why not let him cover it up?
I suppose they were worried if he celebreated a goal and everyone kicked off but it seems a bit heavy handed to me.
Surely this isn't true :hehe:Quote:
In a statement to WalesOnline, West Brom said: "We are aware of a number of ejections from home areas of Cardiff City supporters who were wearing Cardiff football kits.
Has he been to a football match before? Everyone knows that you don't make yourself conspicuous if you're an away supporter in the home end.
clearly not!! Maybe he normally supports rugby, they mix quite happily. :shrug:Quote:

Turn it down mate ffs.
Although over the top, they’re definitely naive for doing what they’ve done, what did he expect with his shirt on full view? People to join in their anniversary celebrations?
Shocking , absolutely shocking.
Why anyone would keep a suitcase behind their tele is beyond me .
At least he wasn't thrown over a balcony by the home fans.Quote:

It's a sad reflection that some grown men at a sporting occasions feel the need to be abusive and violent to fans of opposing teams.
It's pathetic really.
Should’ve put his Wolves hoodie on to cover it up.
It's ridiculous but considering we've chased fans out of the stadium as recently as last season, I don't think we can take the moral high ground :hehe:.Quote:

No sympathy.
As a broader point surely in this day and age all grounds should have a small section allocated for opposition fans to sit together. This is an example of a couple who support opposing teams and why shouldn’t they be able to watch it together? Ok perhaps naively he wore his colours and should have been a bit more sensible... but there has to be an allowance for families or friends of opposing teams to sit together and enjoy it including giving a bit of banter.Quote:

As much as we can all preach that there shouldn't be a problem, far better to know there's a small chance there will be one and not put yourself in that position .
I completely agree with you but it's just not the world we live in. This guy has flaunted the rules by wearing colours.Quote:

Part time fan perhaps, done more to create ‘banter’ with his in-laws. Any seasoned fans know the sitting in the home end etiquette, blend in, sit on your hands, cheer madly inside your head whilst keeping dead pan. The fans around you may seem decent enough but it only takes one to stir things up, also you have to leave the ground amongst home fans from less tolerant parts of the stadium. As for wearing the away team’s colours, it’s a definite no-no.
Can’t be serious?Quote:

One of the West Brom fans quoted in this said he advised the man to cover his Cardiff shirt before he went through the turnstiles, but he ignored him. It was a stupid thing to do - even in the WBA Family Stand, which I assume would be less hostile than other parts of the ground (or maybe not)?

It sounded stupid to me before I read that he was advised to cover his shirt up.Quote:

The "He shouldn't have worn colours" argument would have more strength if there weren't City fans walking around outside the stadium pre-match wearing Cardiff shirts, as well as on the trams from the ground to Birmingham, all mingling with the home fans
He was in the family end ffs, hardly like anything's going to happen. Ridiculous overreaction from WBA to kick him out and their official statement leaves a lot to be desired, very poor from them. If it was such an issue, how come he was allowed in the ground in the first place?
Surely this isnt right?Quote:

Just found this.Quote:

Pretty most, if not all, home tickets have some sort of disclaimer on them that any supporter wearing away shirts in the home end can and will be ejected. I suppose that depends on the stewards and your behavior more than anything though. But as pointed out, Fulham fans are very well behaved, so much so they have the only sanctioned neutral section in Britain.“
I was just having a google as I was bored and this showed up page 1 of google :hehe:
Absolutely no idea if it’s right or not, bed time no time for googling more shite!!
"Yeah defiently, to be honest Fulham have such a poor home support, i doubt anything bad would happen. If you tried this at millwall or cardiffs ground, you would get seriously hurt. Oh yes stewards would probably remove you"Quote:

This ‘home end’ thing is ridiculous. The whole bloody ground is the home area, not just a small part of a stand. The home end is 3 and a half stands. FFs stop using this bloody stupid phrase.Quote:
