Some of the lower & non league games are where the main trouser these days, less old bill and some massive rivalry. Good memories of my days going to football, as a 'supporter' of all elements. Wrexham have had quite a decent firm over the years, not that I've been going for 8-10 years now but were a decent mob.

[@paddythereddog3231]

Remember Stockport coming to Forest, late 90's I think. CS'd the Southbank Bar before the game and had a very tidy mob.

Good welsh weather. Old celtic (welsh)/lancastrian-mercian (english) rivalry. SCFC has had hard times despite the good first-half performance, and its young (and some old) fans reflect this. These are pragmatic and effective policing methods for the camp-followers of what is in effect a proxy 'battle'. Citizens should not expect to act disorderly with impunity, however. peace.

Remember what it was like in the 70s before the police really took hold of it, People getting seriously hurt wasn't uncommon and people did get killed. I saw a video recently of football violence in Mexico recently with opposing fans literally being kicked to death by the mob. Large crowd events like this can get seriously out of hand very quickly. The police aren't perfect but them being there is definitely better and they definitely make violence less likely.
