Remember, it's easy to glamorize things from the past.
I get more of a buzz from going somewhere like Rome, Krakow, Besiktas, Ninian Park, Turf Moor etc, rather than Wigan or Blackburn away. In a way I like that, but let's not pretend that most of us actually would like to go back to the days where you could end up in hospital just because you were going to football.

It's the simple things in life; like throwing a dart into the away fans....good fun, what what...

A tragic waste of vitamin C
dunno about that but the leading on headline is fucking doing my suede in,
Maybe I've got boring in my dotage, but personally, I'm glad that I'll probably never have to sprint from Blackstock Road to Manor House again, whilst in fear of my life.
But, in countries where hooliganism still exist, the atmosphere does seem to be something that many groups want to aspire to. Holmsdale Fanatics for example. Not saying HF, 1882, any other similar groups want a return to the 80s by any means, but there should be a happy balance which I think the author of the piece was getting at.
If they'd only thought to use a lemon, it would've really stung the cuts!
nah, great hooliganism and no atmosphere.
