In the 70s/80s everyone was into hooliganism.Todays youth are happy to sit behind a computer screen playing game.They do not have the same intent. So as the culture dies out the originals are pushing 60 or older now. The banning orders and cc cameras was also a big factor. For the uk I think you will always see bits of trouble but nothing like in the past. Most of these countries came to the sceen way after the English has packed in.

[@ianarn]

You get your lager louts and people will always hate us for being English as they did when England reached the Euro final so we’ll always be ambushed by some nation or another but largely the large fighting leagues of the 70s and 80s are a thing of the past in top flight English football. I saw this in a video where Real Madrid brought a large gang who were obviously walking through the back streets seeking a confrontation but the only people to oppose them were some women who they abused while standing in their back yards and the English Police had the audacity to reprimand the women. This would never have happened in the 80s as they would be met by a very aggressive mob. So yes it’s dead!

With Dynamo Dresden, Hansa Rostock, Alemannia Aachen und Energie Cottbus.
