Pies Supporters

[Captain]

I thought I would never say this, but Collingwood supporters are actually worse then Eagles supporters.

On Sat night we sat around some of the most feral, abusive, obnoxious, homophobic, dumb people/supporters I have ever seen.

They seriously say c... every second word, have mullets, are bad sports and are missing teeth! On top of this they seem to have no idea about football, let alone their own team!

I'm all for a bit of abuse at the footy (I certainly think us as Swans supporters are way too tame), but they went above and beyond with their actions, made even worse in front of women and kids.

It was a very attractive crowd.

The people around us weren't that bad, but there was one that was just a bit too weird.

Apparently a number of them put off writing their PHD's to go the game?

You reckon they could spell PDH?

Captain, you sound surprised!

I really am. I have heard the stories about them, but went to the final at the G last year and found them to be fine! Must have got lucky then...

[ScottH]

PDH.

Hehe.

That's 1.

They have a very very large supporter base and it has all sorts. Unfortunately you tend to notice the annoying ones (of which all clubs have).

Possibly most of Saturday nights heroes were on remand in September last year.

My dad was sitting behind the Swans bench and when Hall was dragged there was a Collingwood supporter yelling out all this abuse. My dad told him to go to the bench and say it to Hall's face and the guy got scared and shut up after that .

Geelong and Hawthorn supporters are the worst I have encountered. But every team has good and bad fans.

Maybe Collingwood having more supporters than most, makes them seem worse?

[The Big Cat]

After listening to them boo Hall every time he touched the ball, I then got attacked for yelling out "You're an animal Wakelin" when he took Barry high in the third quarter. (I guess I got what I was aiming for!)

Don't know about that. Even their President is a lout.

This doesn't surprise me. There definitely is an antagonistic streak in many Magpie supporters. They know everyone hates them & part of their victory ritual is to find fans of the loser & rub it in in front of their faces.

Lucily both at the Pies final last year & last Saturday we have had decent Pies fans around us. I think it was Ando or Simey who replied to a taunt & was getting upset last year but the Pie fan behind us calmed him down a bit which was nice. Still we had these teenage girls who screamed as loud as they could after ever Pies goal (which is completely fine, they were just cheering on their team) Us in the back row had to cover our ears, it was that excruciating.

On Saturday night hardly anyone said anything to us at all. We were so subdued & had no comeback whatsoever that even the Pies fans left us alone to suffer in peace.

You have to worry about a night when the highlight was getting a donut at half time.

PS:- Captain if you want feral, try a Crows away game in Adelaide for size.
