Firms: the return of football violence?

[Kyle.tk]

Ok as we all know throughout the 70's through to then 90's nearly every football team had a firm. From the most famous West ham ICF to Millwalls 'The Treatment' everyone was fighting. Then it all calmed down, fights weren't arranged and fighting stopped, but lately ive been seeing an increase in football fighting outside of the grounds. Ive been hearing rumours of our very own Suicide Squad (burnley) coming back and see potential gang members on home and away games, each armoured in their stone island and burberry coats. I do believe if firms return the game will be once again ruined. I wont be able to walk home from a football match without being decked by the opposing side and if i get caught running away or anything, i could be hit by the police, put in cells or even worse, banned from football. what are your guys opinion on the return of firms.

Well, yeh they've always been about and you'll always hear about them. It happens I guess, just count yourself lucky when you get home from a football match?

I havnt seen verry many at Peterborough's Games.. but on Saturday this nutty Rushden & Diamonds fan Ran on the Pitch straight away after our 2nd goal when we were winning 2-0 went to attack our Goliae - Mark Tyler.

But the Security and Stewards soon got him.
