Well let's clarify that it wasn't Old Bill who killed FV. It was CCTV and some of the ridiculous sentences and bans that go with it (people getting 3 years for a punch, yet if you do that on a friday night you'll get a caution). It has nothing to do with being immature and not being grown up. It's just about having a laugh with your mates and having a good time. People are quick to slate anyone that took/takes part in any violence but complain at the lack of atmosphere in modern day grounds. And by the way I don't partake in any violence.

Its not worth it today,camera's everywhere and stiffer sentancing, you'll lose you job,family and everything else you valued just for a punch up in Yeovil.
Most of it is handbags at twenty paces anyway, i treasure my family too much to even think about getting involved in fighting. I know my missus would slam the door in my face and tell me to come back once I've grown up ,if i got into one more fight. Thankfully my fighting days ended about twenty years ago, and as my body is totally fucked up i have no yearning to turn the clock back.
If someone hurts my children, then thats a different matter, like us all with kids ,any fucker even threatens them will have a few days when they don't feel at there best.

Are the bans rediculous though? If two people get together and have a fight it is nothing to do with football. If one person hits another because he supports another team it is not because of football. Football is an excuse. Now if someone gets attacked and then defends themselves then that person does not deserve a ban. The others do.
To me one of the reasons of the decline in football violence is cage fighting. I know of a few that gave up football violence when they could get the rush in a legal way. There will aleays be some though that can't handle their beer. They deserve a ban. The last couple I hit at a game were both supposedly "Cov fans" It was in Leicester. We came out of a pub to see three of them attacking a bloke who was with his missis and two youngish lads. They were in Fester colours. Big boys attacking someone in front of his kids. Bad enough doing it in front of a woman. I shouted at them to stop in an unpolite way. They must have thought I was a Fester fan or they had me outnumbered. They came at me then. It was over in a few seconds when the third one ran away. To me they deserved a long ban. Luckily the bloke wasn't too bad, just a few graizes. We had the family join us on the walk to the game. I just hope it never put them off going for too long.
I am not proud to say I was involved in it in the 80's. Things are much better now. I still much prefer an away day, but for different reasons. If anyone starts on me or anyone I am with then I will do what I need in self defence. Anything else is for idiots. I want a good day out and mix with the rival fans. Sometimes even go in our opponents end. Ask anyone how much better thecday is with banter when you can mix with them. Anyone at Southampton will tell you. We will be able to do it more next season. I am looking forward to this.

My wife told me she would leave me if I got into any more trouble. Says I am allowed self defence though
She is mellowing out with age. She has now agreed that our youngest lad can go boxing in a few years when he is old enough. I will be getting back in the ring at the same time. Only for training though as I will nearly be 50 by then. He is a big lad for a 2 year old. He also needs to learn discipline. He is a bugger already My mother sees it as revenge for how I was as a kid :thinking about:LeamingtonBootBoy

It'll be different next season no doubt.
A throwback for us older ones...and an eye-opener for the whipper-snappers....
However, if we are 11 years in this league, we may not be so bleary-eyed....!
I, for one, am very much looking forward to the days out next season...and looking to get my 'ground-count' up to 88 if I go to the grounds I have not visited.....

Different? Wow we will be able to go mental in a stand without seats. Looking for who you have gone to the game with after a goal, not knowing if they are halfway up the stand where you started or near the front. No idiots in uniform telling us to sit down, knowing that we will not
I have no idea how many grounds I have been to, but there are lots of new ones to go to next season. It is not good that we have gone down, but everything is not bad.
Anyone interested in a SBT away day? We could do a Hartlepool and all dress up the same

Yeah of course attacking innocent families and people with no interest is bang out of order. I don't want those people at football games. But 2 like-minded people who both want to have a fight, not an issue as far as i'm concerned (as long as they don't involve others).

Why do it in the name of football though? How many times will they find people not interested before they find one that is?
I am not interested in it now. I don't need a fight to have a good away day. If someone attacks anyone I am with then I will get involved. This is involving others. Or do you say I should stand back and let it happen? Everyone I meet at away games go now for the laugh and beers. None go for the violence. I look forward to when we can be like other sports and be mixed together in the same stands. The vast majority of us are not animals. We get treated like them for the trouble caused by the minority.

How i feel about fighting at football comes from when i was a young lad and my Dad used to take me to every game Cov played .
I have written on this before, but breifly my late Dad who is someone who i will always look up to and admire, was a completely different man on matchdays, very much Jeckyl and Hyde ,two completely different personalities. His anger on matchdays i never understood where it came from, but in the end it became too much for me as i knew it had got out of control.
As soon as we had took our seats my Dad would be looking out for opposition fans close by us.
For the next 90 minutes all he would do is purposly agitate and abuse them, hardly concentrating on the match and 9 times out of ten my Dad would be in there faces trying to upset them enough so they would react violently. This was every game home or away ,and for a young lad who sometimes brought his mates with him ,deeply hurting and embarrassing. He would go on and on and many a time stewards had to drag him off the fans he had chosen to wind up. In the end i used to dread going to Cov ,all because of his actions and i would make any excuse not to go with him, but as much as i told him to calm down, the worse he got.
I will always remember thinking how I would never be like my Dad on matchday, any other day he was a very placid man ,and a fantastic father, who i will always admire and love, but i took the decision there and then that my son and daughter would never remember me like i remember my Dad ,and the football and the matchday experience was for watching and enjoying ,and not for an excuse for a fight and get violent.
I've had many fights like the rest of us, but for me to fight there has to be a good reason, like someone hurting my family or being attacked by someone, or someone spouting personal insults on myself or members of my family, and it would only ever be man to man outside, not in a public place where many hide behind the fact it will inevatably get stopped early by other people around them.I presently could'nt physically fight myself out of a paper bag, but for the right reason, given above, i would never hold back, but football voilence seems totally without reason and sense, to risk getting involved
I just think nowadays you can lose so much if convicted of violence either around football or elsewhere, and the attached label would hold you back for ever,both personally and work wise, and the risk is too high for me to ever consider it.

Euro 2016 Prediction League Champion!!
In the 90's we played Leeds twice on the last day of the season. First was 92/93 and we drew 3-3 (3-1 up going into the last few mins, Rod Wallace hat-trick, injury-time equaliser after Wegerle tried a 50-yard back pass to Gould). Leeds fans piled on for equaliser and then again at the end. West Terrace came on and quickly legged it back off again after a Leeds charge. Was stood in the Kop (could've been last day ever of the Kop??) behind the fence and a row of coppers (thankfully...
).Second was 95/96. It'd already kicked off in the Sky Blue Tavern before the game and after a rubbish 0-0 (we stayed up on GD after Man Citeh played keep-ball in their draw v Liverpool thinking they were safe..:claping hands
both sets of were fans on the pitch and it inevitably kicked off. I remember it being chaos for about 15 mins before mounted police came on. Can't say I threw a punch at either game, but can't deny an odd buzz being in and around it.
I'm already shitting my pants because of the Leyton Orient lynchmob...
Orient have two firms to contend with however they do sound like a sweet bunch as there called iced buns and the doughnuts,its 25 to get in orient at present,as for going to watch blues fair play I again went to cardiff on Thursday to cheer on cardiff v wham,its nice to watch the tension in other fans rather than me be on edge,
Rev that's a great post we've all been thru similiar situations with dads or brothers,were all a bit jekyll and Hyde a football I personally developed torrets at football but rarely swear at home its a place to support your team argue fighting swearing singing or sitting quiet were all there to watch our team win,there's no rules in how to support your team and sometimes you have to question yourself as to why you behave like that,its a weird fact of life our behaviour at football but its a passion of which there's no cure

SISU cockroach, is a drop of Rioja or Pino Grigio your favourite pre-match tipple?
Do you drink your glass of wine with your little finger on your drinking hand raised in the air?
Do you read the Guardian at half time?
Ah...the modern day football fan....got to love 'em....:facepalm:
Just wondered.....
Botty boy, football hooliganism is so last year.
Don't get me wrong, i get wankered at most games but after the game i am more interested in shagging birds than worrying about what boozer the Lincoln massive are in.
That's because your single and don't have a good lady at home,you may say its so last year however its gna be so next season so you go and get drunk at the school disco the lads don't or want passengers next season,we enjoy a beer represent our city then go home to our families and very good jobs,

It is yourself that is showing their younger years.
I have two rules in life. If you enjoy doing something then do it as long as it doesn't hurt others. If you shouldn't be doing it then don't get caught.
When I was half the age I am now I only had the first half of the first rule. I put it down to experience and getting older.
How am I showing my younger years
