Ajax fans forced their derby clash with Feyenoord to be abandoned as they protested their start to the season.<\/p>\n

After selling a whole host of key players in the summer transfer window – including Jurrien Timber to Arsenal, Mohammed Kudus to West Ham and Calvin Bassey to Fulham – the Dutch side had just one Eredivisie win heading into the weekend.<\/p>\n

Falling 3-0 behind in the first half at home to their fierce rivals was the final straw for supporters on Sunday (September 24). They repeatedly threw flares on to the pitch at the Johan Cruyff Arena, forcing the suspension of the match.<\/p>\n

\u00a322 a month<\/p>\n

The ugly behaviour didn't stop there, however. Once outside they started vandalising the ground, smashing down revolving doors to try and force their way back in.<\/p>\n

Police on horseback diffused the situation. Such scenes are a rare occurrence in football, but Daily Star Sport<\/b> has taken a look back at other times fans have turned on their own team.<\/p>\n

What's the most angry you've seen fans of your club get? Let us know in the comments section below<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Old Trafford break-in<\/h3>\n

There's been countless peaceful protests against the Glazers' ownership of Manchester United over the years, but things turned violent in May 2021 ahead of their fixture against Liverpool at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n

Hundreds of supporters managed to get past security and break into the ground during the pandemic, making their way onto the pitch and into several rooms inside the ground with the game postponed as a result.<\/p>\n

Roughly \u00a370,000 worth of damage was done and 36 Greater Manchester Police officers were assaulted.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Greek fans sabotage rivals<\/h3>\n

Another fanbase who smashed up their own ground was that of Greek side Panionios – who did so for a very different reason. Their rivals AEK Athens were set to play a Europa League tie against Dundee United there.<\/p>\n

AEK's Olympic Stadium home was out of use as the pitch was being re-laid, sparking an unusual one-time deal which Panionios supporters quickly curtailed.<\/p>\n

They staged a sit-in at the club's offices before making their way to the Nea Smyrni and destroying the pitch to make it unplayable.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid's poshest protest ever<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

It doesn't get much worse for Real Madrid than losing 4-0 to fierce rivals Barcelona in a home El Clasico. That happened with Rafa Benitez at the helm in November 2015.<\/p>\n

Making their displeasure with the manager clear post-match, thousands of Real fans waved white handkerchiefs. It symbolises a demand for change in Spanish football.<\/p>\n

They got their wish, with Benitez sacked weeks later and replaced by Zinedine Zidane – who went on to win the Champions League that season.<\/p>\n

Charlton's wine and cheese<\/h3>\n

Rivalling Real in the posh protest department is the stunt pulled by furious supporters Charlton Athletic in August 2020. They were fed up after three potential new owners had failed the EFL's test.<\/p>\n

In response, a number of them stormed the boardroom at the Valley, tucking into cheeseboards and sipping on red wine. Group Fans4Fans issued a statement saying they "will not be leaving until the current owners formally request, in person, that we vacate the premises with immediate effect".<\/p>\n

The Addicks were eventually bought out by Danish-American businessman Thomas Sandgaard to end the short reign of East Street Investments Limited.<\/p>\n

Inter Milan fans go for lunch<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

A very poor 2016\/17 season under Stefano Pioli saw Inter Milan fans reach breaking point during their last home game of the season against Sassuolo. Piolo had just been sacked days before.<\/p>\n

They unveiled several banners, with one reading: "2016-17 season, let's be merciful and throw a veil over it." And another saying: "Thank you Mister Pioli, the only Interista 'actor' in the middle of a team of unworthy players and a club of cameo roles."<\/p>\n

Then come the 25th minute, the Curva Nord ultras headed for the exits in their droves – leaving behind the message: "Since you don't deserve our support, we're off to have lunch."<\/p>\n

Lazio attack their own<\/h3>\n

Italian football fans are certainly amongst the most passionate in the world, with Lazio's perhaps the fiercest of the lot. Boasting the likes of Hernan Crespo, Alessandro Nesta, Diego Simeone and Jaap Stam in their ranks, hopes were high for the 2001\/02 campaign.<\/p>\n

Their season got off to a miserable start, however, with just one win in their first eight matches. And even a 5-0 win against Brescia in their next outing wasn't enough to get them back on side.<\/p>\n

Ultras hurled abuse at their own players throughout the game and even attacked their fellow supporters for celebrating the goals as they went in.<\/p>\n

Turks set fire to the stands<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

As far as turning on your own team goes, the so-called supporters of Turkish side Eskisehirspor well and truly take the biscuit for their shocking actions at the end of the 2015\/16 season.<\/p>\n

A 2-1 defeat was the final nail in their relegation coffin from the Super Lig, which was not the send off the club had hoped for in their last game at the stadium.<\/p>\n

Their ground was going to be destroyed ahead of their move to a new one. So the home fans in attendance made a head start, setting fire to the stands and creating apocalyptic scenes. Three people were reportedly injured as a result.<\/p>\n
