Are Matchdays Getting More Violent?

Noticing a return of aggro from fans inside and outside the grounds.
The young'uns are getting more leery.
And there's more violence in town outside boozers these days.
Not just with European games but also the likes of Villa last week.
There was some right caantish behaviour amongst the Leicester fans inside WHL.
Did all this start from the trouble at Wembley with Euros Final?
 
Think you're right and it's evident in towns up and down the country and not just football related. I live in quite a quiet small town but it's got really rough at weekends, especially Saturdays. Always a scrap going on or spilling out in the streets. Booze combined with cheap coke and these youngsters think they're superhuman. Took my brother and nephew to the Everton match and whilst there was no bother there as far as I saw, the walk back from the football bus to the hotel in Central Liverpool was pretty hairy. Got locked inside a Tesco Express for our safety as a massive fight kicked off just outside. It's pretty alarming really.
 
I had this chat with some of the lads after PSV and common opinion is that they are letting things go to get loads on banning orders for the Nations completion coming up. Its happened before.
They don't want the same as the Wembley thing from last year again.
 
I think it's a reaction to lockdown. Since reopening it just feels like there is a huge pent up collective stress that needs an outlet, and found one.
 
Facebook, Tiktok, Twitter all have a hand in this also imo. All these twattish groups designed for promoting "your squad/firm/etc" everything is uploaded for virtual high fives after 5 kids attack an oap of a visiting team.

i reckon its the coke, in the same way as we saw ecstasy lead to love-ins in the 90s, that stuff gives people a nasty edge

Does ‘coke’ make you fart very loudly on the way to the ground? Asking for a friend.

When did coke become so mainstream? I mean it's always been around if you wanted it, but some young lads these days seem to regard it as on a par with having a pint of lager. I moved to a village in Oxfordshire around 16 months ago and last summer watched most of the England games in one of the local pubs. At half-time there was always a huge queue for the cubicles in the mens' bogs - all these young lads going in to do a couple of lines before the second half started.

It weren't like that in my day - we had to make do with drinking snakebite and black until we puked our guts out. Bloody kids get everything handed to them via a rolled up £20 note these days :mad:
 
Sticking videos up on social media like that is asking for Plod to nick you and your mates.

As if CCTV isn’t enough.

We were in a very busy pub before the villa game, went for a number 1 and they were testing it and handing it out like sweets, no intentions of covering it up . Bouncers all over the place totally ignoring what was going on..
 
Bnet’s theory is a good one. Just like the day they sat back and let the Coventry kerfuffle play out then banged up a dozen or so lads.

The marching powder is everywhere now, one of the 2 pubs in Fleckney has its own dispenser in the bogs, it’s that blatant.

Young lads getting brave, not fearing the consequences of their actions in a country where the law is played out as optional depending on your political persuasion.

It’s a cocktail, I tell ya.
 
I know a lad, big City fan, but follows Coalville when he can. No affinity to the town , but see’s them as “good for a row”.

Coalville and Peterborough broke with the tradition of exchanging pennants yesterday and moved over to exchanging flares, far more exciting and a lot more colourful
 
County lines isn’t it. Seems plenty around here.

When you think about the carnage caused to youngsters at the bottom end of the drug trade the authorities need to make a statement and sort it out, direct link from teen stabbings to that lot shoving the crap up their noses.
