My parents are in their 70s and they go regularly to watch Norwich (where they have season tickets) play football. They would not be doing so if the feared even less trouble than described here.

Yes, there is something about the mentality of certain football fans. Yes there are issues that need sorting, etc. But I do think it is a minority of idiots.

A trouble is though, if only 1/1000 of football supporters were idiots, there would still be a lot of them.
