gidday zed ,i wouldnt compare patch clubs with those dumbarse soccer fans , they couldnt give a shit about the game ,they just want to bash the crap out of each other over something that happend to long ago.cheers.

If police could actually manage what they're doing with large crowds, the soccer thing, and most other occurrences wouldn't be a drama. Their ignorance with the gAyFL with opposing fans sitting next to each other, or leaving quietly after getting smashed on the park... In the 70's and 80's these were common place. There are dumbasses everywhere - but this control provision stuff has been started well before the bikes and soccer - the cricket and the mexican wave and over-the-fence banter was the iceberg's tip.

For the record though, I'd say I'm happy to keep hanging with genuine soccer hooligans over the patched bad-boy clubs... Actually come to think of it, the lines are a little blurry.
