Article in The Times today on ‘the new face of hooliganism’. It seems a new wave of teens on cocaine are fuelling it. Wonder what’s driving it? Less jobs and pent up pandemic frustration?

We get a mention as Times reporters invited by police to cover the Forest game. Apparently ‘Fat Cats’ the place where Leicester fans smashed windows was an ‘agreed meeting place’ between Baby Squad and Forest Executive Crew, which adds some context as to why that happened, despite the fact the Forest firm were not there. That said I was surprised a family restaurant was targeted in that way. Would have thought some of the older BS wouldn’t have done that, which brings me back to the article and the ‘new face of hooliganism’. Perhaps young teens don’t have any ‘code’ in the ways that firms did in the past?

Haha it’s funny that these things actually exist and are not a parody. I pity those who are in these firms and take it seriously. 

 

Just picturing a load of recruitment consultants pulling up in leased BMWs wearing three-pieces

Plenty of incidents happened in the past to show the such a code is a myth or at best not wide spread. These are the cretins who prevented me from taking my young kids to the football.

 

Even if there was one there the ones responsible for the current restrictions and treatment of fans which has never really gone away and by the looks of it will be back at its worst before long.

 

If they want to fight find something else to hang their so trendy fashion clothes on away from football.

I got started on by one at the weekend for stopping him assaulting a cleaner in the ground because he was a forest fan. Not been to as many away games since covid, but where have they all come from?! So many twats I had never seen before.

What do you mean "where have they all come from"? These are the holders of the required points numbers needed to get to these games, tickets were absolute gold dust. Our away ends have been so crap for the last few years people have forgotten that we've actually got some male fans between the ages of 20 and 40. 

 

Makes me laugh when these guys get called "so called fans" by the same people (not you bmt) begging for tickets as they don't have the points.

Maybe you're right, although I'm more talking about those under 20. Like I say, I've gone to less away games over the past year or two so maybe it's just some supporters coming of age I hadn't noticed before. Or maybe they were just more noticeable because they were being idiots on Sunday.

It isn't just football though its everywhere. Horse Racing is as bad / if not worse at the minute, massive groups of lads just off their heads. 

 

The only way it stops if the police actually do something about it - which they won't. 

 

When was the last time you saw a drugs sniffer dog at a game?? They are more bothered about stopping pyro in stadiums than drugs!

I remember Everton away a few years ago they have sniffer dogs outside the away end. When it was my turn I started stroking the dog because it's my natural reaction when I see a dog and this old scouse steward said "LEAVE 'HIM!". The dog sniffed me and they pulled me to one side and said "right, the dog says you've got drugs!" to which I replied "well technically the dog's not saying anything" and he like "alright smart arse, empty your pockets" and they discovered that I didn't have drugs on me.
