actually they busted a load of footy hooligans in town a few months back. The youngest was about 40 and the oldest in his late 50s or early 60s…
but what has happened now is because its actually quite hard to fight at a football match due to cops or even break town windows due to CCTV everywhere (although pubs enroute are still often trashed) the anger is spilling out across all generations and is rife in any “London overspill” area (and even Ipswich,being only 1hr 30mins away from East London is affected by this)
