Haha I personally dont look like a trouble maker, im female for starters (not that that should matter but you get what I mean) And as for Stone Island tops, I have never worn anything like that in my life and never will *shudders* I think we will all be ok if, as you say, we stick to what you are actually going there for - to watch football! They emerged as the casual era dawned and, against the violent backdrop of the Miners' Strike, quickly became feared by their terrace foes. Its difficult as a football fan of leeds united to understand the culture of football hooliganism and why it spiked in the 80s when i was only a fan since 1990. I told a couple of lads and went outside to be faced by two ugly twats, one a skinny wanker, who said, ‘I’m Hibs, who are you?

This Leeds Service Crew hoodie features the words 'When you're good no-one remembers, when you're bad no-one forgets'. I have just finished reading a book by Caroline Gall about the notorious Leeds Utd Service Crew and their activities in the 70's and 80's and to a lesser extene maybe in the 90's. Good accounts of days out at Old Trafford, White Hart Lane as well as riotous weekends in Blackpool.Brighton was the last away match of the season and a few decided to go down on a minibus to London on the Friday before the match. The police eventually launched Operation Wild Boar to take down the ringleaders, only to convict a small number of relative fringe players. Remember 85 after the game up there , thousands of em outside the side stand we were located in refusing to budge while we locked in, stuck on buses back to Leeds station with them trying to come in on an ambushing mission, our train emptied and they were sent packing with one or two getting clumped the rest on their toes , trappy Chelsea of the north oiks the lot of em. Gall does a very thorough and detailed job in investigating Leeds United's hooligan element and produces a well written, in depth, more serious and less sensationalised account that varies from the usual 'run of the mill' hooligan (to doorman) autobiographies.

Leeds is a highly cultured and cosmopolitan city streets ahead of Leicester(my home town) and frankly I feel safer here than in Leicester. He and his little party left the lads to go off and do their own thing on arrival, with the others settling in one of the pubs. Of course the Football Intelligence Unit of the NCIS woulnt think of monitoring a site like this would they?The last game of the season at Brighton and Hove Albion saw the Sussex club relegated to the Third Division after Leeds beat them 1-0. We used to take 5,000 and dominate the town, so when someone said they had a spare ticket and do I fancy it for the weekend, I said yes. In all the years I've been watching Leicester I've never so much as been hit or anything simialr, despite walking through pitched battles on a number of occassions.
