When you read a survey regarding voting, sex, drinking or anything else, do you imagine they ask millions of people?
The average weekly attendance in the Premier League is 723,520, to do a survey that's 95% accurate, the recommended sample on that many people is a minimum of 9,500, so 35,000 is actually a high sample (though obviously no sample survey is anything other than a rough guide).
London clubs are bad specifically, my mother was terrorised by Palace fans a few years ago on the train. I've heard all sorts of things from my friend in London about what they get up to down there.
Aye, it's a different world down in the big city. Best sticking in Hull and not venturing outside like so many do.
I It would be a better analogy if the trouble in the video had been started by a handful of young chavs and the rest of the adults in shot had clipped them round the ear and made sure they didn't act like foolish children That doesn't seem to be the case ( although I agree that no set of fans should be defined by the most ****erly ones)
did,nt a 15 year old hull city fan get thrown out of the qpr game for chanting ÿour just a bunch of bummers" on the strength that it was homophobic??
Three of the 'bombers' came from Leeds/ Bradford , the remaining one was born in Jamaica. I think we should sing it when we play Leeds in a couple of months. That'd confuse 'em.
Certain clubs like Chelsea always get branded yet when the summer riots erupted in London in 2011 they started in Tottenham and many of the rioters were Spurs and Arsenal supporters, the police were so stretched that in some areas of South London football mobs from Millwall and Chelsea turned out to defend businesses and property. Fact.
Some of the recent football related disorder in London: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ukn...all-violence-grips-mjaor-London-rail-hub.html http://www.standard.co.uk/news/crim...al-fans-outside-west-london-bar-10185936.html http://www.redcafe.net/threads/suspected-everton-football-hooligans-attack-in-london.404729/ This is just the major stuff, countless other incidents go on on match days, my friend not to mention a family member (not my mother) experiences it frequently travelling to work or travelling around the City and Greater London. Some of the old-school football firms are still active in London. London has an ongoing problem with this. Maybe Castro needs to travel outside Hull himself to see what goes on in the world instead of sitting behind a computer screen writing snide comments
You should mebbe have a chat with him instead of sitting behind a computer screen writing snide comments (see what i did there?), I'd put good money on the fact that he's certainly more dialled in to ''old-school football types'' than the majority who post here.
Not quite sure what point you are trying to make here. For one thing no one knew who the rioters supported second because you claim a gang allegedly made up of millwall supporters or other football mobs turned up to 'defend businesses and property' in what way does that excuse the scumbag behaviour of the ( clearly identifiable ) Chelsea thugs in the clip ? Not sure if I owned a business or property I'd want a bunch of football thugs to turn up to ' protect' it . Good of them to be so considerate pity they never thought in that way when smashing other property up. Might be an idea to stop idealising football 'mobs' I've seen plenty from the days when there was serious trouble on the terraces it wasn't pleasant and it drove lots of decent people away from the game and tarnished the reputation of all supporters. Perhaps you've read too many of those ****e Hoolilit books that came out a few years ago.
Oh really Bill Bones? did you see the stylish kids in the riot? QPR’s lefty libertines and Russell Brand’s anti-austerity West Ham Anarcho Hate Mobs whilst the original ICF were working the doors protecting property. Yes I’d want Millwall fans outside my business when there’s no truncheons and shields my love, oh how I cherish you my love, Bill Bones knows what I mean. No one loots us, we don’t care! Woof Billy Woof. Sanitised modern football has driven lots of decent supporters away from the game, Englishmen in baseball caps.
