Wearing your teams home shirt in a rival city ?

I thought leeds didnt even see us as rivals

We actually have a pretty bad history. I think back in the day we managed to kill a Leeds fan by pushing a wall on him or something. I say we, not really us fans as a whole!

The funniest I came across was at Hillsborough last week some Wednesday fans shouted at some supporters that they were all on benefits and a fight started...but it turned out they were other Wednesday fans!!!

Yeah we just don't get on with Leeds, a bit like our feuds with Man City and Cardiff, also Millwall But I don't think anyone likes Millwall...

Nice to have some more Blues fans on here.

Who wears football shirts unless you are going to a match?

I wear Blues shirts all the time, they're just part of my usual wardrobe I don't think it's weird.

Well, you're wrong. It's no coincidence that lots of places will not let you in if you are wearing a football shirt.

Our away support is better, although the ones that do go to home games .(I include myself in this) tend to sing more/spur the team on even when we're losing kind of thing. Think a lot of it this season is related to money, if they do a few more offers like the other week then the ground gets twice as many. You'd think they'd have realised this by now...

We have a special history with Cardiff, going back to the Apex/original Zulus days :smile:

Lots of places? I'd say that was more to do with the attitude to the team/ infamous supporters than it being the football shirt itself. I don't really have any problems getting in anywhere :smile:

Bars and clubs wouldn't let you in. I just don't see the point in wearing something that provides you with no benefit but has the potential to attract trouble.

Wore my Villa shirt in Birmingham City Centre had a Birmingham fan come up to me say he was gonna smash my face in and kill my family, I just ignore it. Most of the time it is friendly banter but you always get the odd foolish fan who spoils it.

I'm the ultimate optimist, we can play very well but the inconsistency of him picking the squad seems to be having the most impact at the moment, we were good against Burnley, pretty much dominated them in places, and then Macheda changed the game. We did have a turnaround of 11 players in transfer window and lots of injuries so considering our money issues and everything else I think we'll be fine :smile:

You going Milwall?

Wearing Man United shirts should not be allowed unless you carry documentation to prvide you were born in a Manchester postcode. In general I would discourage it as many I expect are not official club merchandise and so the money goes to tat merchants not football clubs.

Haha I've never not been allowed in cos I was wearing a blues shirt and that's not just in the clubs/bars controlled by Zulus. Think you're generalising what happens very rarely. Also it provides you with loads of benefit and the ones who have the potential to attract trouble as you say are usually the ones looking for it. The lads in the firms get to know lads in opposition firms so it's not usually a random attack on fans, it's pretty organised.

Yeah Blues and Villa absolutely adore each other :p:

I am good thanks I hope you are well been very busy at work lately. Hey nothing wrong with making friends from the enemy, I used to work with several Birmingham fans, we always had a good laugh.
