Society never really changes that much. From generation to generation it’s often the same and we only notice things in different ways as we age ourselves.
There was a thread on here about ten years ago after a home game (with West Ham was it?) where some City fans got into a confrontation with and stabbed another City fan with a screwdriver.
Someone somewhere, at every football match in this country going back to the start of football (when City fans used to throw stones at the away team as they came onto the pitch at Hyde Road) all the way up to before and after lockdowns, is being a dangerous ****. It could be in the ground, outside the ground, in the pub, on public transport, at the services… often we’ll all be somewhere else at the game and miss it… but someone somewhere is doing something like this in connection to every football game in the country.
Doesn’t make it any less cunty, but it’s not any worse now than before lockdowns.
