Well today put the question of worst fans to bed

Transport Act 1980 - Law relating to Football Excursions

The Traffic Commissioners have powers to attach conditions to public service vehicle licences

restricting the carriage of drink on football excursions. British Rail introduced a bye-law to

prohibit the carriage and consumption of drink on specified trains.

The Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol etc) Act 1985
  • prohibits the possession of alcohol on the way to matches on football special coaches
    and trains and makes it an offence to be drunk on them
  • makes an offence of trying to enter a ground when drunk or in possession of alcohol; of
    possessing or consuming alcohol within view of the pitch during the period of the
    match; or being drunk during the period of the match
  • provides the police the power to search someone reasonably suspected of committing
    an offence under the Act, and to arrest such a person: this may include searching
    coaches or trains carrying passengers to or from matches
yep it’s a fair cop guv so why let us drink whatever we could manage before they confiscated the rest. And that’s old bill and council staff who both used the phrase “we will turn a blind eye while you finish it”

What exactly was the point as this was yards from the stadium next to pink car park and the only outcome was we had to journey home with a dry coach which technically is not the law as not on the way to a sporting event

I understand police powers this was council employees not police . They weren’t in the compound

having both sets of fans in the same compound was crazy .
 
Just when you think humanity in the guise of football fans couldn't sink any lower I read this. Who would fucking do such a thing to any kid, never mind one suffering like this poor mite? Really upset me this.

Pretty much every single country in Europe is worse than here for hooliganism nowadays
