opposing football fans that actually get on together?
Discussion
There's shed loads of rivalry out there.....bitter vile twisted hatred .....which is good sometimes
but are there teams that your fans tend to get on with ? I'm not talking kissy kissy lets have a big hug and nice cup of tea....but the teams you've always enjoyed a bit of social banter with?
in my personal experience , Birmingham fans don't seem to have a problem with
1) West Brom.....neighbours and no problems at all
2) Southampton (never seen aggro at all vs saints and always drank in their boozers with no problems ...indeed we were drinking with them the other week at our place)
3) Liverpool ....maybe cos we usually get spanked by them on the pitch!
4) Newcastle ...maybe cos we don't understand what they are saying
on the other hand .....don't even go there with
1) Villa - do i need to expand?
2) Stoke - legendary for 'aggro'
3) Cardiff - could start a riot in a room on their own
4) Portsmouth - dunno why - just always
5) Huddersfield - stuck in the eighties this lot!
I prefer a pie and a pint and a bit of banter to the thuggery that's still about at some places.

As Saints fans travelling in small numbers, we never used to shy away from the home fans' pubs and got a warm welcome at most places - especially Liverpool, Coventry and Palace..
Can't really say the same for Fr**ton Park and Elland Road...
As for away fans visiting our pubs, not seen any aggro down here for a long time (P**pey and Leeds aside, of course
)

) Exeter always seem(ed) to have problems with:
Plymouth - Nuff said, scum o' the earth eh Tyre Smoke?
Torquay - Nowhere near as bad, but I remember the odd scuffle
Bristhole Rovers - Filthy scummers.
Aldershot - Animals
On the other hand we have always got on relatively well with Bristol City (probably because they hate Plymouth as well!)

How many of those teams did you play in the last 4 years....
Oh yes 
One! Good luck at Oxford mate.
See? We can get along

We (WBA) would add Wolves (obviously), Leeds and Burnley to the "don't even go there" list.
Always found Manchester City fans good for a laugh and a beer, whatever the result.

Ooh Man City at Maine road.....mid nineties i think in our Barry Fry days?
now that was dodgy.....we had my mate's missus waiting for us in the car round at the home end.......It was mayhem everywhere.......glad to make it unscathed that day!
EDITED to add
Tranmere and Charlton fans are good for a laugh too.....never a problem

It's a love/hate kind of thing isn't it?
Well if we don't go up at least we get the Turks next season!

That's because we (City) hold a certain position unrivaled by any other club.
WE HATE MAN UTD....WE ONLY HATE MAN UTD
repeat for 45 minutes
down 2 pints at half time
repeat for 45 minutes
City fans have never had any real aggression issues with other clubs, yes we are very well supported and do take large numbers away...but generaly it's peacefull and involves lots of
however due to the numbers when it does 'go off' it's major.

The one thing i will miss when Dagenham & Redbridge take their place in the football legue next season, sharing a beer and joke with the opposing fans without wanting to have a major barny...
.......although Alderhot and Oxford have the odd hissy fit.
Now Man Utd v Leeds , now thats pretty evil
