So what? Isn’t it also the most supported?

So how does that tally with your idea that people will happily attend other sports but not football?

Because other sports are more family friendly and so draw on a bigger pool of support. Are we pretending that football and it’s fans still don’t have an image problem with the wider public just because it’s well attended compared to sports which have smaller followings?

Some people seem to be confusing having a loud, fervant atmospher with lots of passionate singing to support the team

With

Fighting, trying to invoke a fight, swearing, being coked up, selfishly standing in seated areas blocking children's (under 10 years) view and running on the pitch given the opportunity and arguing with Stewards.

The later has nothing to with supporting the team or being a good supporter of the club. There is nothing positive about it.

Embarrassing. Why or how? Pulling it on other city fans?

Prison time needed.

It definitely isn't just us (as if that is a defence) - there have been multiple journalistic endeavours and even TV documentaries recently about the return of football violence, with a particular emphasis on the influence of drug use.

Someone asked earlier "who is glorifying it?" - if you take a look at YouTube clips and see the clickbait titles and content that the frequent vloggers use "It's all kicking off", "carnage", "fan trouble", etc. Then look at the reality of a bunch of pissed up twats giving it the big 'un behind a fence or a line of stewards - this is not exactly Gosford Green in the 80s, but it is still trying to glorify "violence".

I don't recall what match it was, but there was a clip of twats on both sides of the fence at the away end actually tearing it down "to get at each other" - then when it was down, they all stepped back about 6 feet and didn't get anywhere near each other.

But the problem is the perception of violent behaviour that is likely to scare some people away. And the massive cost of the resource to police these morons.

Sorry, not a very coherent argument!!

Could be but have been told by people on that bus that a man pulled a knife on another supporter the police were called and waited for the bus at the services. He hid the knife in his 5 year old sons backpack, but it was found by the police.
I'm sure no one would make this up!
Feel sorry for his poor son was proberbly well excited about going to the game with his Dad.

Not my point though is it? Unless he took it and planned to use it at the match.

Didn't say it was made up. I know people on the coach.

My point is that it's not a link between that incident and the general trouble at games this season.

As you say, he was with his 5 year old son ffs!

Hope his child gets taken off him, imagine that as a role model

It all seems a bit baffling. People on the coach have said if was completely out the blue. The Tavern coach is full of families

Sadly knife crime is a societal issue and should be dealt with severely. They cost lives… I do get what you mean about the context being baffling but I guess it shows how big a problem knives are - country wide.

Was probably just a Leamington & Warwick CCFC Supporters Club member who wanted to slice his Camembert up into neat triangles.

Rather than the Canley coach, where they wanted to slice up the bloke next to them into neat triangles.

Its a ridiculous thing, most excuses are “I need it for self defence”, its a load of bollocks anyone carrying a knife obviously has/had bad intentions in order to have brought it unless they brought it for another reason such as eating but then there would be a fork as well, but still the possession of a fork’n knife is just not needed

Do you think he was taking it to the game when kicking off with Fulham fans?

Dont know how true it is but he booked on that coach because he knew the other bloke was on it and he had a problem with him.
Why not just have it out in the carpark before hand like men, then put it to rest.

I've said above.

I'm not sure how this very strange incident on a family coach is linked with the trouble in other games.

Exactly.

Very strange, but scary incident.
