This might be a controversial one for many on here, especially as the numbers we take away now are bigger than they've been in a very long time, but it seems to me that our away support is the worst quality in my lifetime.
This isn't just a reference to the dark fruits drinking, bad gear sniffing, inbetweeners wanabees that have sprung up (though it might be because of them), but it's more to do with the noise we make now.
Our obsession with the skates has actually reached a new level. At all the aways i've done this season we've sung about the skates more than anything else, with the low point for me coming first half away to Millwall when every single song sung was about them with the exception of OWTS.
It even reached a point this weekend where the local journalist covering our game for the yorkshire post commented on it on social media
Then you add to that the compulsion from some of the red lodge dwelling nippers to have to sing about libraries absolutely everywhere (i'd honestly not realised our support were made up of so many bibliophiles) and nippers who aren't even seven stone wet through "offering out" home fans and it just makes us look like f*cking yokels.
God knows what we can do to improve it but it's come to the point where some of us actually actively avoid our own fans to escape the bantz boyz.
Maybe it's just me getting old but all i really wish is our fans would have a bit of class and don't leave cities thinking Sotonians have the combined levels of class as spice addict who's wet himself in a JD Sports doorway
