We had a few sat around us yesterday but not sure if they were Arsenal "supporters" or just football fans wanting to see a top Premier League team playing in the "best league in the world".
But do we have a problem with that? It was one of the best attendances this season so good for the coffers, but some cringe at this. I have probably laughed at them in the past thinking they are not "real fans", but maybe they are real "football" fans after all
How many on here have been to games as neutrals and couldn't care less who wins. I have |  |

I don't mind if they sit there, show respect, and are not cheering for the opposition. If away fans are in the home end cheering the opposition, jumping up when the opposition scores, or wearing their colours, that I do mind and would be the first to cause a fuss and try to get them kicked out.
However, I have to admit, I do think these tourists just supporting the top teams because they are good is pathetic. Anyone could just support the best sides and think how clever they are. When some Chinese looking tourists did nothing but take pictures of Haaland all game, when we played Man City, I couldn't help but say at the end, loudly to them, "Easiest f@cking game of the season. We lose every game by 5, but not today against these sh!t strikers. I wish we could play this lot every week, we actually got a point." They just went silent, put their cameras away and left. |  |

I’ve been to loads of games as a neutral both in this country and abroad so see nothing wrong with that at all. I do however have a problem with clubs taking advantage by selling tickets at massively inflated prices to tourist fans who want to support the opposition, which is happening more and more at most Premier League grounds.
I also have a problem with away fans buying tickets in home parts of a ground and not knowing/understanding the etiquette. Even worse and I’ve seen it twice this season at Liverpool and Spurs is having fans of those clubs in our end when we’re away.
If you keep quiet and don’t show who you are then no-one’s the wiser. Be a dick, wear your teams colours or cheer when they score, you’re fair game to get a smack imo. |  |
