Now and then? Must be me, but something that happens almost every week is not what I'd call now and then. Looking at our home games, there have been only 5 after which we haven't been fined. It's retarded.
The southern teams used to be much worse, for some reason "we" caught up with them over the past 5 or so years. We're racially abusing individual players even when we're not playing against them. Does that not tell you enough?
And for what it's worth, I'm not even against some offensive banter or childish banners. It's amusing, to say the least. But when we are told, time and time again, that we will get punished for it, the smart thing would be to stop it.
In the end, I guess it doesn't matter anyway. We will face another stadium ban sooner or later. And it will be the same reactions all over again: they're out to get us.
