If you can't keep quiet then no. As much as they're nobbers you can't expect to celebrate in their faces.

I've done it at Burnley, it's not hard to keep your mouth shut.
 
A group of us went in the home end at Swansea around mid 90’s having got free tickets from one of the players.
Blackpool won 2-0
We managed to keep quiet when the first goal went in but celebrated the second resulting in us getting walked to the away end with home supporters throwing things and spitting at us
 
I'll never forget missing out on the Fleetwood FA Cup game ballot (when we won 5-1). I got tickets in the home end but by the away end.

Kept quiet for first goal or two then quickly clocked that many around were Blackpool fans as well. By the end we were celebrating almost as if we were in the away end.
 
Not something I'd ever do personally, I'd find it a form of torture having to sit there and not celebrate/chant whilst watching the end you should be in doing exactly that.

Much rather watch it in a pub in Blackpool and get some atmosphere at least and be able to enjoy myself unrestricted. If you feel you have to be there though and that is your only option then go for it.
 
Personally I doubt I could ever do it, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself celebrating or screaming for a penalty etc
 
Go and when Pool score to let out your pent up emotion just jump up waving your arms and shout Bastards at the top of your voice. You've let it all out and the ones around you are none the wiser.
 
Went mental away to the bin dippers, nobody said a thing, kept it shut at Man Utd away, there were far too many menacing figures about. Not sure I would of survived had I gone mental. There were definitely a few who knew we weren’t Utd fans but I think they gave us a pass as we were good. Oh and they won and we’re picking up their 19th prem trophy at the end.

There was a few UTD fans who wanted us to win that game and stay up as they’d already secured the title.

Four of us in the home stand. When pool got the 2nd we jumped up celebrating. The UTD fans around us were ok about it and we had a bit of banter. They were happy because they were champs again and some were even saying I hope you win.
 
Was on the Kop when we beat Liverpool in 2010! It was just about possible to keep quiet ,but the broad grin whilst ordering a half-time pint was a dead giveaway!
 
When we score just give it a Big Fat Boo and laugh your socks off whilst joining in with all the venom being spat at their players!!!

Don't forget to ask where the queue starts for refunds! 🤣🤣🧡🧡
 
Done it a couple of times, the worst was at dumpers in the late 80's, I think when they scored two late goals to win .... it was awful. Losing was bad enough, but surrounded by happy preston fans is just not good.

I couldn't watch a match against against you in your end, I just couldn't!

I've been in the home end at Leeds a couple of times and once at Sunderland, both with mates who supported them. After the last time at Leeds, I swore never again.
 
Did it at Darlington back in the old days. Went mental at first goal, got nabbed by police. Had to walk around to the away end exit, claimed over a wall and saw the fouth goal, and celebrated in front of the home fans who got me thrown out.
do it
 
Had seats in the Trent end for our playoff 2nd leg game. Best self-control exercise ever. Did not enjoy it at all. Had rather watched it on the telly in a pub.
 
Was in the anfield road end back in 2010 and jumped up shouting REFEREE!! When Johnson took Varney down completely forgetting where I was. Luckily Wasn’t a scouser in sight around me nobody said a dicky bird.

Got to be honest, I have watched games in home ends before supporting Blackpool on the road and it's torture. Not sure which is worse when we score or they score. You won't enjoy it and there is always the danger you'll lose control of those emotions and get chucked out anyway!
