Do you typically have opposing teams in a stadium in EU/UK?

In NA it's typically all home team crowd, either you're all happy together celebrating the win or all sad together mourning a loss.

Always. For most teams and countries basically all your away games are less than an 8 hour drive/train ride away (and in many cases less than 2-3 hours) so many people make the trip. You also always have the hardcore fans that will rent a bus or two and drive it literally across Europe to see their team play.

That make sense then. In north America more than half of the games are on the road hundreds of miles away. Typically it's the home crowd that shows up.
