Is it usual for your Home fans to be mixed in with Away fans at big games?

Spotted a few handbags yesterday but nothing major.

Most of the verbals were taken in good spirit but some other sets of supporters may not take to kindly to them?

we dont have an away end

So every other week the Away fans by chance all choose the same stand to watch the game.

If your not going to post a sensible reply don't bother.

The West Stand is always made up of some home fans aswell, no matter what the game. They normally chose to stand towards the left side of it.

Yeah I noticed that at previous matches but yesterday they were right mixed in and I think a few had too much to drink... the lady steward look s**t scared when two blokes started pushing around

You used to be able to get a west stand season tickets

as it happens, i saw saints fans in all 4 stands last night

I spied 4 Wigan fans aswell

It only gets filled like that for the games of Saints, Leeds, Wigan. Sometimes Hull, When we paly on a sunday the away fans usually congregate at the top in the middle, we have the 2 sides. It's good that home and away fans can mix, i can only recall one 'incodent' in that stand, and that was with Hull 'football' Fans. It's usually alright.

Great following by Saints last night admittedly it's only down the road and we took 7k to KR but it was impressive considering the SF a week before. Saints always bring the most.

I stand in the West Stand every game as do a few others, primarily at the side next to the South Stand - always recognise the same faces.

I prefer the view from behind the sticks and I'd rather stand than sit.

Normally the away fans don't overlap with us but obviously with the numbers Saints bring every year they always do. Wigan normally do, although rarely to the same extent as Saints, and when things are going well for them Leeds, Bradford and the Hull clubs bring a fair few although not always and never as many as Saints or Wigan.

Last night I got there ten minutes before kick off because I'd been at work so no time for a pint and I just stood on the aisle close to my normal spec because it was chocker. It was completely mixed Saints and Wire and there were a few verbals dished out from "can't handle their ale" types on both sides. It was all handbags and frankly a bit embarrassing. A lot of ale was getting lashed during the second half too (I got showered a couple of times - though I didn't mind when celebrating our tries!) I've got no idea who threw it, but it happened about five or six times and people were getting angry, stewards were getting involved and one lad looked like he was getting chucked out at one point, although it happened another two or three times after that as well.

No idea why anyone would do that in all honesty. If I spend £3 on a pint it's because I want to drink it!

Indeed. I used to have one and stopped buying season tickets when they stopped selling them.

There are always some opposition fans in the East and the North stands too. Nothing wrong with fans mixing as long as they know how to behave.

I was in that end and I saw three plastic glasses with beer in them were thrown. There was banter (which is great) but throwing beer or any object is not on. The stewards were useless. Saw a few people "in conversation" with the stewards and police after the game.

Problem we all have is a lack of respect in society, in so much that people will often ignore even the most reasonable request from a steward, never mind when that situation becomes inflamed through excessive alcohol.

It will become an issue when the stewards need to be replaced by an increased police presence, and we all have to pay the additional cost.
