Title: Villians amongst the Whites!
Post by: bill taylors apprentice on May 23, 2018, 08:16:34 AM
I think its fair to say a percentage of our tickets will have got into the wrong hands by whatever means!

I noticed on one of the Youtube vids of our win against Derby last week 2 very straight face chaps sitting in the Riverside when there was Fulham joy and celebration going on all round them. Derby fans?

What's likely to happen if we find Villians amongst us on Saturday and are not so respectful?

It would be nice to have them gently removed without spoiling our day, failing that don't resort to violence and risk missing the game, maybe accidently pour your drinks over them so we all know who they are.

I know of one who was bought his ticket by a Fulham STH. I know he'll be on his own as it were but he would behave himself anyway. I personally wouldn't want to for a game of this magnitude. I certainly hope that it is only the odd one or two. I would hate to be sat near a whole crowd of them!

That was the case in 1975 and they kept quiet - except when they leaped up twice. Made me even sicker.

Hopefully they will be hard to spot on Saturday then!!!

Mostly being reported by click bait Newspapers in Birmingham.No wonder they're all so bitter and the twisted.I mentioned the other day why Fulham don't try and buy any tickets that are being touted and take appropriate action.They could sell to FFC fans at cost price. I'm sure we can afford it.

Hopefully they'll have no reason to open their mouths or celebrate. They'll have to be quiet - you can't miss that arse of an accent, can you?

Well in the spirit of complete honesty, one of my tickets will be going to one of my closest friends who is in-fact a Villa supporter. Though that being said he hasn't been to a Villa game since the 90's as he's from Devon, he's really not the fanatical type...whereas I am  :dft011: We've known each other for about 15 years and at the start of this season we vowed we would attend the play-off final (if it came to that). Given that I'm a STH for next season it was much easier for me to pick up the tickets. He has been warned not to wear a Villa shirt (he said he doesn't own one...see he's almost a neutral) and he has an aisle seat for a quick escape if needed  :005: oh also my other spare ticket allocation has gone to Fulham fans that I met at the Cottage during this season.

I'm sure he'll be sitting down for 90 minutes anyway  049:gif 049:gif 049:gif

I think there's a big difference between a Villa fan brought along by a friend and one that has brought off a ticketing site, your friend will know how to behave and if not its easier for you to tell him to behave then confrontation with strangers.

Well whether I like it or not, I will be sticking out like a sore thumb, not just because I am a sore thumb, but because none of my white Fulham tops fit me any more, and the Fulham FC shop has not got one big enough. So I shall be wearing a Black Fulham top I have dug up from under the ground that amazingly still fits me.
So I apologise, but I know I will not be the only one.

I went to the FA Cup semi-final between Reading and Arsenal a couple of years ago. I was there as the guest of a friend who is a Reading supporter and was a strict neutral just enjoying the day. There were clearly Arsenal supporters dotted all around the Reading section we were sitting in. They really did stick out. I'm not quite sure what the point is of being there when you can't celebrate.

On the back of the tickets to the game this weekend there's a list of numbers and key words to text the Wembley security in case of a number of incidents.. whilst none of those specify what to do if you see and villa fan in the fulham area I'm pretty sure any villa fan who does celebrate if they score/or if fans feel suspicious of will be escorted out pretty sharpish as it seems Wembley has a zero tolerance policy. Seems a bit of a stupid idea in the end to buy a ticket in the opposing fans section for such a big day, especially as you'll be surrounded by more passionate than usual fulham fans who'll probably not look to favourably if you're found out.. and even more awkward if you lose and are surrounded by celebrating fans.

I have sat among the opposition in the past due to getting complimentary tickets from a friend at West Ham & Millwall and I survived!
They were among the better types but wouldn't ever do it again.

IMO going to a big game like this and not be able to act normally spoils the whole day, win or lose.

Sat in the home end for Spurs V Fulham, Boxing Say 2007, in between Sanchez and Roy.

We lost 5-1 and Volz got sent off.

I'm hoping any Villa Fans in our end suffer a similar fate.

I remember back in our first season in the Championship going to Wolves on a freezing Tuesday night in February on my own. I had a terrible cold and had to sit in the upper tier among the home fans because the stewards didnt let me pay on the gate. We were 3-0 down at half time.

Times like that make Saturday what it is.

I was supposed to stand next to the Wolves captain but slid along next to Sylvain Legwynski who was Fulham captain. Got a bollocking from my boss but it was worth it!

Fulham playing Celtic up here in Scotland a friendly when we won our first premiership promotion years ago.I lived in Scotland then and I was even allowed to travel on the Celtic supporters bus wearing my Fulham scarf.They did tell me though that had I been Chelsea they would have lynched me,to which I replied well done. Likewise let us show tolerance to Celtic fans but not to Rangers ones!

I stood amongst home fans on a pre-season friendlies tour of Scotland , at Patrick Thistle, cheering for Fulham, with no problems - I wouldn't do it an Old firm game though!

Collins John scored for us in a draw, Moritz Voltz and Jerome Bonnisel were our full-backs - gives an idea of when it was.

When you get 38,000 tickets sold on each side, there will always be some leakage.

Worth noting there's bound to be a few Fulham fans in the Villa sections as well.

There will be probably be a few more Villa in our fans' sections than vice versa, but still i reckon we're only looking at a few hundred, not thousands like the Villa fans coming on here seem to think.

In practical terms that means any Villa fan is likely to be surrounded by 100 Fulham.

Morally I think in those circumstances IMO they should get a slap (or ten) and dragged out by the police for their own safety. That's what I'd like to see happen. But in reality we are Fulham and more likely (and I include myself in this) to tell a steward, or just ignore them on the basis that watching their team lose will be punishment enough!
COYW

Our tickets were sold 1 per reference for attending games this season I don't there will be many at all while your own club sold 5 per ST Holder a huge risk and I guess just the need to sell out for Fulham no matter who is going Ie Fulham fans, Neutrals or Villa fans was the objective. I would expect anywhere between 3-5000 Villa fans in the Fulham End not your fault but your clubs.

Agree. Football took a wrong turn towards tribalism and aggression a long time ago where rugby and cricket support kept to the straight and narrow path of sporting rivalry.
....odd to think that it might be the same people who behave in different ways according to the sport being watched.

I can appreciate that perceptive. I know I took a risk posting that on the chat, especially as a new member of the community. However, as stated my friend and I planned this at the start of the season (if we both were in the final)...he lives in Devon and I in North London, we don't get to see each other much so this is a great opportunity to spend some time together and hopefully it'll be a day to remember (for the right reasons). I did pass on my other tickets to fans that weren't able to get tickets.

Anyway you're right he is a Villa fan, but he's also a football fan.

When you get 38,000 tickets sold on each side, there will always be some leakage.

Worth noting there's bound to be a few Fulham fans in the Villa sections as well.

There will be probably be a few more Villa in our fans' sections than vice versa, but still i reckon we're only looking at a few hundred, not thousands like the Villa fans coming on here seem to think.

In practical terms that means any Villa fan is likely to be surrounded by 100 Fulham.

Morally I think in those circumstances IMO they should get a slap (or ten) and dragged out by the police for their own safety. That's what I'd like to see happen. But in reality we are Fulham and more likely (and I include myself in this) to tell a steward, or just ignore them on the basis that watching their team lose will be punishment enough!

Our tickets were sold 1 per reference for attending games this season I don't there will be many at all while your own club sold 5 per ST Holder a huge risk and I guess just the need to sell out for Fulham no matter who is going Ie Fulham fans, Neutrals or Villa fans was the objective. I would expect anywhere between 3-5000 Villa fans in the Fulham End not your fault but your clubs.
If there are 3-5000 of your lot in our end i'll eat my hat, and yes I will be wearing one. It is not the fault of Fulham FC that tickets may have fallen into the wrong hands but the fault of those who are buying any in the wrong end. Any way I am sure they will just join the Fulham Party and have some fun, they really won't be able to just sit on their hands. Have a great day out and may the best team win.

Aston Villa have a fanbase that dwarves ours, they're the biggest club to play in the play off final. I think its fair to say that its not inconceivable that a few have found tickets in our end.
Having said all that the numbers they claim to have in there is absolutely ludicrous, it doesnt add up anyway you look at it. They love to bang out this 5 tickets per person crap whilst overlooking the fact that in the initial phase 12,000 Fulham STHs took up 25,000 tickets, thats just over 2 per person. Villa were already claiming to have tickets then , sorry didnt happen. Would imagine a few touts have season tickets so probable that they went to Villa but I've read that many seem to think 5k minimum to 15k yes 15,000 in there, that is laughable. So what theyre saying is Fulham, which is a pretty easy club to get tickets for, a club which only sold out once this season has a huge number of touts amongst its STHs & members?? Not to mention that Fulham fans ,in arguably the biggest game in the clubs history are acting as unofficial ticket touts for the benefit of Aston Villa FC ?Fulham used software to weed out any applications that only involved AVFC so booking history for them was useless, did they tap up their Birmingham & Wolves mates ?, doubt it
Would imagine the Club Wembley seats being a majority of Villa but I know Fulham fans still getting tickets off people today.
We're getting all this "you lot are in for a shock" nonsense, we'll see, think its them who will be surprised.

I think it's a shame that opposing supporters cannot sit together, as happens during Rugby Union matches - for internationals anyway.

It won't bother me if a Villa supporter is sitting next to me, I'll just give him grief when we win. COYW

Go and have a love in with the Villa fans up there end .
If there any Villa fans near me they will  get dogs abuse .

It's quite obviously bollocks. QPR fans have been saying it's exactly the same as in their playoff final vs Derby. Derby fans were giving it large about being a far bigger club, having thousands in the QPR end, taking over Wembley etc. When it actually came to the game they were nowhere to be seen in their end, and as for the match, we know how that ended up turning out. Let's hope it's the same for us...

Anyone sitting in my block 118.Will get strung up if they are Villa.The best thing about our allocation is there loads of Mates all sitting together. The odd Villa fan sitting amongst us better STFU.

Not going to force us out the stadium with those awful clappers are you! Nothing spread's fear in a loyal fanbase than those who uses clappers to build noise for their team  :005: :005: :005: :005:
The only thing that's awful is your Accents.Have turn the Radio to another channel when one of you lot speak.

I don't see the problem as long as no one acts like a total nob.
If there are Villa fans in the Fulham area, fine, as long as they politely applaud when we slot yet another goal past them

Clappers, song sheets,picnics ,all dressed in white.
Beats being a fan of a so called big club singing Kumbuya .
Most boring chant ever .
I used to sing that at Sunday school many moons ago.
