Going to a game in couple weeks, and I’m an away fan but there was no tickets left so I’ve bought home tickets. Is this allowed?? Could I get kicked out?
Ok you have to do the obvious go there just for the game try make it a neutral day and relax and enjoy a football game with team you know. That way you won’t get overly involved and start cheering
So basically think of bad and sad things in the world and think how coming together for football is great for us all.
You can but it’s risky - they have Dementors roaming along the stands looking for people who don’t fit it. If they catch you they’ll give you a Dementor’s Kiss, which effectively means your soul will get sucked out of your body.
I have done this in the past when going with a friend who supports the home team and I support the away team. You have to resist the temptation to shout ‘offside!’ or ‘handball!’ against the home team because you’ll find yourself wanting to.
The only time fans around me have found out is when I saw Villa away at Anfield and my uncle is a Liverpool fan, so I sat in the home end with him. We were getting battered 3-0 and just had a laugh and a joke with the home fans around me about how bad my team were that night (in 2010). But it can be dangerous.
Depends. I’ve watched Man City (many times) and Man United (once) at their home grounds, with the home fans, as an Evertonian, and never felt unsafe in any way. Obviously I didn’t let it be known that I’m an Evertonian, but it felt like I was sat amongst jovial, friendly home fans and a LOT of tourists. This isn’t a dig at either club. (I guess I was a tourist too!)
I watched Bolton vs Everton amongst the home fans and was frightened, genuinely frightened. It wasn’t much better watching Stockport County V Everton, very unpleasant. Admittedly this was a good few years ago. One Everton fan at Edgeley park celebrated an Everton goal and got punched in the head, I mean a real punch, someone stood up behind him and lamped him. The Evertonian was only a young lad too. Others were trying to throw punches as a steward dragged him away. Yes he was stupid to celebrate, but didn’t deserve that.
Yes - it’s allowed
Yes - you can get kicked out if you act foolish
No - you shouldn’t, under any circumstances, act foolish.
