Trouble at every game this season. Boro fan stabbed today and another one bottled. Fighting in and outside the stadium. Bout time the FA came down on them. This is trouble in full public view. Whether they like it or not it's now a family sport and kids shouldn't be seeing this sort of stuff. I'd implement fines, dock points, and even make them play behind closed doors if continued.
There was a large police presence at the London Stadium
Middlesbrough's supporters have criticised the conduct of some West Ham fans after more violent scenes unfolded at the London Stadium on Saturday.
Boro's travelling fans described their fear as fights broke out around the stadium after the match, with one man describing supporters of the East London club as a "disgrace to football".
Other supporters of the North East club told how bottles and coins were thrown into the away end by home fans during the Premier League encounter, which finished 1-1,Gazzette Live report.

SmoggyOnTour added: "Where do I start, no sign of police until it was too late, fans fighting on the main road near the away end. Chaos!".
@MichaelTG91 said: "West Ham fans jumped on our coach to kick off before the driver pushed them away. I saw kids getting punched. Shocking."
Another Boro fan, @JamieMadden1989, tweeted: "Cornered us all. Started punching anyone, parents who just took kids for a nice day out...disgrace to football."

Blain Allinson, another fan who was at the game, tweeted: "They (West Ham fans) were waiting outside. Stewards had a cordon in place and they broke through and all hell broke loose."
Rob Munro, another supporter, added: "Had to dodge bottles after they scored. One hit an old man on the head in front of us. Had to be taken away for his injury."

Shocking new footage shows West Ham fans clashing at London Stadium in front of terrified children
Questions have been asked about the security in the stadium since fighting broke out in the stands during West Ham's games against Bournemouth and Watford earlier this season.
West Ham have been pushing for a police presence in the ground but the stadium operators, rather than the club, who are the anchor tenants, would be required to meet the financial cost.
