i've been. its safe but if i were you do not wear colours (the slags have been known to attack those in shirts and women). and after the game win or lose you have to run a gauntlet with some animals on the other side of a police line. it sounds awful but you should be ok. remember that they have a shit transport system so be prepared for a long wait at the BR station or a long walk to seven sisters.

i'm going

You'll be fine, and if you want to play it safe, then as Radford says, don't wear colours.

Long walk from Seven Sisters, not worth waiting for train from the National Rail station.

Not been for about 8 years, the worst bit imo was when the police cordon ended and you were left in the middle of the neanderthals. They are not averse to picking on women and children. So unless you're up for it avoiding eye contact is always good although saying that I'd be fucked if I ever looked away from one of theirs (but I've always been a twat :lol: )

Does many of the herd still go to away games? Cant see them taking shit from ****. I'd say you'd be safe in numbers.
