Absolute joke. Sooner or later they will regret this because football fans will have had enough and start to revolt. It's absolutely disgusting as you say. I've been to all but 3 away games this season domestically and was in Basel last week. I've seen no football violence apart from at Leeds which was always going to be a high tempered affair. They are putting many people off going to football matches and it's a shame.
Thatcher and Blair's legacy continues. Shame you can no longer walk 2 yards without being spotted on a camera. Pigs in a pen have more rights than football fans do. Laughable really.
I was taking photos on the banks of the Thames with a mate a while ago. There was a helicopter around which we thought was one of the tourist ones. After about 20 minutes we were stopped and questioned by 6 police officers and 4 of those pretend police officers. One of them made a call on his radio and looked up at a the copter that then flew off. He told me the copter was a police one which been observing us as we looked suspicious. We were questioned under the prevention of Terrorism act! I have also been stopped under the Prevention of terrorism act while going to a match at WHL...cos I had a bag!
