The Return of Hooliganism

Player Valuation: £35m
The Premier League is worried about a significant rise in hooliganism in the game and is asking clubs to review procedures. Given what happened at the Villa game at Goodison Park, and at Wembley last summer, I am interested in what people think are the causes of this rise and what can be done to counter it.

Has lockdown made us less socially responsible? Has the governments response to taking the knee given a bad message?

We mustn’t step back, so what can be done to arrest the slide?

I'd throw in the domino effect to certain degree.
Lack of policing, resting on laurels.
Remember Leeds strolling through Manchester on the first Saturday.
Hooligan films ,books glamourising the violence.

Good points.
Should never be complacent and perhaps the authorities will get a wake up call.

It’s definitely on the increase.

Honest opinion; It’s a result of having a right wing government. Everything stems from there.

The cocaine is playing a massive part in all of this too.

Yes cheaper and better quality than ever before.

That mob that invaded at Wembley at the Euros final were coked up to the eyeballs, loads of footage of them openly snorting coke before the match.

But like someone above said it never sent away, Euro 2016 in France with England and Russia in Marseille showed it hasn't left our country, new generation now.

Hooliganism was never defeated and it never will, however it certainly did go away compared to what it was like in the 70s and 80s. It's chalk and cheese stuff.

It's on the rise and that's a worry, but as @Alan Whittle mentioned most people can go to most matches and see or be involved in zero trouble.

For the older heads on here, you'll probably remember buses regularly having no windows, slashings, fighting on the terraces and fighting before and after.

You'll also probably remember getting a battering by the cops on the terraces, before and after.
