It's not all of their fans to be fair but a glance at the Twitter history of some of their fans (who for some reason keep popping up on my feed) helps explain a lot. Possibly been watching too many reruns of the football factory 😂
Anyway a great pre season and so much more positive going into the new campaign.

I know a few Poole Town fans and as is the majority in non league they are great and love the game of football. Unfortunately there are a few of their fans (generally young lads bogging themselves up) that seem to think they have the divine right to act like a bunch of muppets with no regard to others or as it happens their own football club.
It produces a toxic atmosphere and which they look for a response too and quite frankly it’s not why I started to watch non league again. Fuelled by social media they look get a rise from other clubs supporters. Not for me I’m afraid. I enjoy a banter with the opposition fans and a beer with them after and you don’t get that with the minority at Poole which spoils it for all.

The last time we played them at home their fans weren't very pleasant and they chucked a flare on the pitch during the game

The Poole rivalry is a fairly new thing. A lot of their younger fans won't remember the days when their team was a beazer homes club and we were Wessex league. With a population of 155k Poole is a potential big club hamstrung by poor infrastructure, whereas we're a small town club who've been punching above our weight. I consider Weymouth to be a truer rival for Poole in terms of catchment and potential support. But I think it's funny that we get under their skin. The comment by their number one Twitter comedian yesterday " enjoy exmouth " was actually bang on the money - we will Thank you !!

It is a shame that some non-league clubs (including Poole) have attracted an anti social element of supporters. This is only a small number however and most Poole fans would be as upset at what they do as we are.
I saw in the Non League Paper that a pre season game had to be abandoned due to crowd trouble at the weekend. I don't know what clubs can do to stamp this out.
