Away fans in Longside...again

Away fans were in the Longside yet again today. The club is totally failing to get a grip of the situation.
Once it was pointed out to the stewards they were painfully slow to react and remove them, it's embarrassing.

They were sat a few seats along from us. Stewards extremely slow to react. Think it took the cfs to sing ‘longside f**k them up’ for them to decide to kick them out. Lucky no trouble started as there were a number of fans riled by them as they just sat there smirking and taking photos of Arsenal players celebrating. One of them even had an old araenal away shirt on under his coat.

Ah, but at least we are all getting searched on the way in.

If these Arsenal fans sat there discreetly watching their team, why on earth is it a problem?

Nothing but as they weren’t being discreet then it’s a problem

They were openly celebrating the first goal. If they were discreet we wouldn't know that away fans were in the home end.

Always going to happen against the big boys. At least in the Championship it won't be an issue.

It’s a bit embarrassing isn’t it. It’s just a game

If these arsenal fans were sat there discretely, how would anyone know?

An accent check by the chaps carrying out the tiresome searches would have weeded them out

My mate took his lad on today and had a group of fully grown blokes harassing him until he cried because someone saw him videoing Saka's penalty. ******* embarrassing club at times us

Is it possible these “”Arsenal Fans” live in the area with Burnley accents and find it is easy to get tickets posted to their address

We had a couple of lads in front of us in the Bob Lord.

It was supposed to be a minimum of 30 loyalty points to get a ticket.

Even though they missed the works screwdriver which at HT my mate realised that he had in his pocket!

This annoys me because as a Burnley fan with more than 30 loyalty points I can't get 4 seats together.... I'm sure it'll be easier next season.

I hope this doesn’t become protocol. I’ll never get in the Turf again

Burnley 1.0 Man Utd
Last minute I sorted a ticket in the home end for my Man United supporting friend - ticket would have gone to waste otherwise. This lad and his family have been lifelong Man United season ticket holders.
He came off that game more emotional than me, siting that "i could see how much it meant to everyone around me"
He reflects on it often as one of his favourite football memories.
Ive sat in many a home end when we've gone away and never had any trouble. Usually great experiences actually.
Just dont behave like a dick.

Surely "some knobhead fans" rather than "embarrassing club".

Not so sure after the performance yesterday, the fans and the fact our half time game doesn't work in the rain

How do you work that out? I would have been denied admission with my season ticket using that logic…

I was in with the home fans when we went 2-0 up at half time when Defour scored “that” free kick. I tried to be discreet but couldn’t help to smile and celebrate a little. The home fans around me were fine, and also consoled me at full time after Lingard’s equaliser in the dying moments.
It’s entirely possible to enjoy a match with the opposition fans as long as you’re not an idiot about it.

Not difficult. Just don’t mention apples pears or the boat race. Or the Queen Vic
I was born in Oxford but wouldn’t have a problem

The football world has segregated seating for a reason
The fact that very little has been done to improve stewarding after numerous incidents this season reflects very badly on My football club

Pathetic really that people can't just get on with each other because they support a different team.

By chance I met a family of 5 (father, mother, 2 boys, 1 girl) from Clermont Ferrand in the Park View. They were genuine football fans and think they were both Burnley and Arsenal fans. Very nice people and had seats in the JH Lower as far as I know. I was able to practise my rusty French !! They supported Clermont Ferrand so understood our position in the Premier League - see Ligue 1 !!

It's because that's how people are brought up in league football.
A them and us scenario.
If they were brought up at cricket matches or non league, it wouldn't be a problem.
It no doubt creates a better atmosphere having all the away fans together in one big group though.
