It's down to the ultras mate, every club has an affiliation with either right or left wing and when you get clubs from opposite sides meeting there's a lot of organised violence. Since there's only one way the Spanish know of dealing with that shite and that's battering everyone within 5 miles, the police get away with it as there's nearly always some incident they can point to for justification. So we'd go to the Betis-Sevilla game, some nobs would smash up a cafe or have a huge row 3 miles over and if we didn't hear about it in time to get into the stadium or an indoor bar we'd get hit with a baton rush despite doing fuck all wrong.
