Plat_du_Jour Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Hi, I hope I have posted this in the right area, but I am keen to ask about the experiences of fans travelling to away games. As part of my university work, I am currently working with the SPL to do some research about fans attending away games. As part of this, I am keen to get the perspective of a broad range of fans from all the clubs across the league. If you would like to take the opportunity to fill out an anonymous survey, taking just a few minutes, then you can help the SPL improve the experience of being an away fan.

maroonshrew Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Done for you. Although I think you missed what is my biggest problem with some away games which was Hearts fans, not the opposition fans. I also felt you were leading with your policing and stewarding questions. When you asked us to rate them, it turns out in the end you mean about thei heavy handedness towards away spectators. My problem with them is their 'doing nothingness' about anything.

Maroonshrew, those are really good points but satisfaction with policing and stewarding is not related to the final statement of heavy handedness. What sort of problems do you encounter with the other Hearts fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neave Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 It's difficult to see how your answers are going to be construed. For example, I quite like the fact away games can be intimidating, that opposition fans abuse you, etc. I don't really want that to be taken as a negative aspect. Better value for money, alcohol at half-time and better (read: fairer) policing and we'll be onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a great response from this forum, but I am keen for more Hearts fans to ensure some balance across the SPL - so get friends/family involved!

bighusref Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Filled it in for you. Don't like your questions though. Much like Neave, I felt that some of your questions gained the wrong answer from me. Also, question 26 has the question worded so specifically that I have had to disagree where I may have agreed with a slight amendment to your question. For example, Policing/Stewarding in away sections is often heavy-handed. This is not true, however had you said Policing/Stewarding in away sections can be heavy-handed. I'd have agreed. Also, bad language and favouring the home team is to be expected. I would not mark down an away trip on that basis. I'd be bloody pissed off if Hearts didn't favour Hearts fans and as such don't expect to be treated equally at other grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that feedback mate, that is useful to know, I will keep that in mind when it comes to the analysis.

The Treasurer Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Not done the survey but to summarise : If we win - yes If we lose - no If we're playing the OF in the Weeg - no, because of the way we get treated (by both fans and authorities) Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafferty51 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Done. I agree it's a disgrace the way were treated through in weegie land, it's as if you've committed a crime if you stand during the game, i'll never understand why standing at a football match isn't allowed for 'safety reasons'..

wheatfield to sheffield Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 What sort of problems do you encounter with the other Hearts fans? Bigotry.

jambojim1986 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I love away days. I think away days are often better than home games due to the atmosphere generated in the hearts end. Biggest issue I have is the shockingly bad home support at most other SPL grounds, can't say I've ever had an issue with any fellow jambos on the road. Quite the opposite. One time my bus left me behind in killie and portobello hearts let me ride sitting on the floor back to edin as all the buses were full. Jambos are an amazing breed.
