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.
People keep referring to violence. It isn’t the 80s anymore, unless it is a high profile game between two big rivals or you go out of your way to rile and antagonise you’re unlikely to get anything other than a few verbals. It’s highly unlikely you’re going to get filled in as an American Liverpool fan sitting in the Fulham end or whatever.
But just don’t do it. It’s a shit, dickhead move, especially if you’re wearing colours and actively supporting the away team.
If you do do it then we least be respectful.
I’d definitely not wear the colours or cheer as I don’t want any trouble at all!! Just want to see the game
yes just don’t make yourself stand out and be reasonable with the home support and you’ll be fine.
Biggest form of scum a supporter can be, you’re taking a home supporter ticket for yourself
I do realise that it’s probably a wrong move now I’ve done it, but I’ve already bought them so there’s not much I can do now.
I went to the Arsenal Palace season opener last season and would just squeeze fuck out my gf’s leg when we scored 😅
Went to 2009 Carling cup final. Could only get tickets for the man utd end through a mate. As a villa fan it was very hard not to cheer when they went 1 up.
Even worse was the random beside me hugging me twice when man utd went on to win.
Meh. Shouldn’t be an issue for most but I wouldn’t wear an away kit. Just sit and enjoy the match and have a dampened celebration of your team scores.
Keep your mouth shut and don’t wear colours. You’ll need to act like a home fan. Not worth the aggro unless it’s a big game you just can’t miss IMO.
People on here will say premier league stadiums are simultaneously filled with tourists and violent aggressive home fans. It can’t be both in my head
I’m sure we are all capable of sitting through a game in any premier league stadium with any team.
My section at Spurs is! It makes for an interesting atmosphere with young South Korean women fangirling Son and a ST holder of 20 years yelling Fuck Matty Cash (example from this weekend).
There was a Liverpool fan in our section at the September fixture, and it got very ugly for them and needed a lot of security to get them out.
I’d rather go and watch a neutral match than watch spurs play away sat amongst the home fans.
Yeah it can - the likelihood is you’ll probably be fine if you’re supporting the other team, I’ve seen people around me at Selhurst who definitely weren’t palace fans. But you only need one idiot who takes it a bit too seriously to completely ruin your day, it’s not worth the risk
As a Chelsea fan who has lived up north; I’ve sat in and amongst the City/United fans on multiple occasions. It’s just a shit experience. lol.
The terms and conditions state that home ends are for home fans only, so you will get thrown out if discovered. Good luck.
As a new premier league fan (American) long time NFL fan with season tickets, this blows me away. I couldn’t imagine not being allowed to wear my team’s colors or support them during a game that I paid to see. I also wouldn’t be upset if it was that way.
I also wished we had better chants than 7 nation army after we score 🤣
What about neutral fans or travellers?
If you display your allegiance to the away side whilst being in the home end, expect to get ejected and take a few smacks on the way out if you’re being especially obnoxious. If you sit down, shut up and don’t raise any attention you’ll be able to watch the game just fine.
What would be the best clubs to do this for? Surely most of the Premier League clubs are selling tickets to their own paid members way before the games kick-off.
I have read here on Reddit about people coming over from Ireland for a weekend in Liverpool having already bought LFC tickets for a game on a Saturday evening. They managed to buy City tickets for the midday game on the off chance they were available on the day and just sat in the home stands as neutrals.
I can’t imagine many PL clubs where you can just log-on as a non-member (or sign up on the day maybe), buy tickets and attend the game on the same day.
City and West Ham would be my guesses for where you might get PL tickets on general sale.
