Millwall FC - Manchester City - 10/10/1998

Source: This is Local London

Fans `cowering' For Safety As Match Ends In Violence

A YOUNG woman was left cowering in a corner for safety as Millwall fans rampaged outside the ground.

New Cross resident Harriet Margolies, 24, had just enjoyed her first ever football match but was terrified when violence broke out around her as she tried to get home.

Bottles, bricks, coins and glasses were thrown by about 300 Millwall supporters, angry that two goals were disallowed during the 1-1 match against Manchester City.

Ms Margolies, of Erlanger Road, said: "I had a good time but it was mayhem coming out, there were all these people and I could hear bottles being smashed.

"You could see the riot horses recoiling and the police gearing up to move in - that was quite frightening," she added.

Prior to the game a bottle was thrown at the Manchester City supporters' coach and a window was broken.

During the match the pitch was invaded by angry children chanting "we want our goals back," and a fight broke out between two players.

Police estimate approximately eight people were arrested during the game - five for racist chanting and two for pitch invasions.

Fellow New Cross resident Kyle Fraser said: "It is a shame really because there is usually a really good family atmosphere at Millwall but this time it was totally different.

"There were thousands more fans and I don't think they were quite prepared for the numbers. The people causing trouble were not the regular fans."

After the match police fought battles with the home supporters while City fans were forced to wait more than an hour inside the ground until it was safe for them to go out.

Three police dog handlers came under attack and one of these officers was taken to hospital to be treated for a broken arm.

Police say a number of people were arrested for offences including racial chanting, breach of the peace, pitch invasion, threatening behaviour and violent disorder and one arrested for an assault on a police constable.

Leyton Pennant - Wealdstone - 27/03/1999

Source: This is Local London

Away Fans Bring Chaos To Pennant

ROWDY visiting fans were involved in some unsavoury scenes with Leyton Pennant players and officials at Wadham Lodge on Saturday.

A group of travelling fans had walked from Wealdstone in Essex for the Ryman League Division Two match to raise funds for a new home ground.

Upon early arrival for the game they made themselves at home in the club bar.

Pennant officials were abused by drunken fans before the game even started -- despite providing hospitality and laying on a spread of food.

The ill-feeling continued even once the game kicked off.

The Wealdstone contingent swelled the Pennant crowd to more than 200 but they made few friends.

Pennant boss Lyndon Lynch said: "Their fans definitely tried to intimidate our players but until the final few minutes I think we rose above it and just tried to get on with our football."

Several of the culprits have been banned from Wealdstone home games but they travel to away games.

Pennant press officer Andy Perkins said: "The behaviour of their supporters was disgusting. We hope this doesn't happen again."

Brighton & Hove Albion - Leyton Orient - 23/11/1998

Source: This is Local London

Fans On Rampage After Losing Match

BRIGHTON fans went on the rampage this weekend after their side was defeated by Leyton Orient at the Brisbane Road ground.

O's supporters have told the Guardian that they were confronted by an "angry mob" of Sea- gulls fans who were throwing cans, spitting and being threatening.

The trouble flared after the first round AXA FA Cup game which Orient won four-two.

During the angry scenes at Brisbane Road a man from West Sussex was arrested for punching a police officer in the stomach.

A steward also had to be taken to hospital suffering a head injury after he was set upon by a number of Brighton fans. The steward had closed one of the exit gates and the fans were trying to open it.

Orient fans have been critical of the way the police handled the crowds at Brisbane Road. They say that both sets of supporters shouldn't have been allowed to leave at the same time and there should have been more police overseeing the operation.

However, the number of police had been increased because football bosses feared that something like this would happen.

The animosity stems from an incident a couple of years ago when some Leyton players were attacked by Brighton fans while playing in Brighton.

O's supporter Leo Whitlock, who witnessed Saturday's drama, said: "The police let everybody out at the same time and Brighton ended up heading in the direction of Orient fans.

"We were confronted with an angry mob. They were spitting and throwing cans. They punched a fan. It never normally happens at Orient games."

And another regular, West-Sider Adele Krisman, of Lakeside Avenue, Redbridge, said: "Do you believe that in potentially explosive situations where there is bad feeling between opposing fans, that segregation is only necessary inside the ground and integration is to be encouraged in the surrounding streets?"

Chief Inspector Peter Howarth said:"We had a substantial number of police on duty -- far in excess of what we normally have.

"Because of the increased tension during the game, I asked for addtional officers to attend from other matches.''

He added that it was policy to let both sides out together as there are dangers of keeping fans in.

One critically wounded during Rotterdam soccer riot - 26/04/1999

Source: CNN

Rioting soccer fans may have returned fire at police during a clash in central Rotterdam Sunday night in which police shot into the crowd, wounding four people, Dutch officials said Monday.

One of four men shot by police during a riot by Feyenoord Rotterdam soccer fans was in a critical condition in a hospital, officials said.

Police, threatened by the rioters, fired several warning shots and were then forced to fire into the crowd, a spokesman said.

Sixteen people were injured, including four police, after celebrations for the local team's national championship turned violent. There were 80 arrests, a police spokesman said.

Hundreds of shop windows in the center of Rotterdam were smashed and the Hilton hotel came under attack. Guests in the lobby threw themselves to the floor as windows shattered.

Police were investigating reports that one pane had been splintered by a fan's bullet.

"That's one of the things we will be looking into, but we can't say for sure yet whether rioters fired weapons," a police spokesman said.

Earlier on Sunday evening, more than 200,000 people had crammed into the center of the port city to cheer the local team, Feyenoord Rotterdam, which had just won the Dutch league championship by tying their match against Breda.

As the crowd dispersed a group 80 or more began throwing stones and bottles at police.

Mounted police repeatedly charged rioters, and other police used water cannons to break up crowds, who left a trail of destruction in their wake in the central city.

"Countless shops have had their display windows smashed in and the contents looted and most of the parked cars have been vandalized," an eyewitness at the scene said.

He said rioters had torn up paving stones and dislodged rubbish bins to hurl at police. One policeman was said to have been injured after being hit in the neck by a stone.

A force of 750 riot police restored order at about midnight. Police said they believed the riots had been planned in advance.

Local and national authorities condemned the fans' behavior. Officials were holding a crisis meeting on Monday.

"This was totally unacceptable. It was supposed to be a celebration for everyone, but this is the picture that people will remember," Rotterdam Mayor Ivo Opstelten said.

The Dutch football association said it had asked the Rotterdam authorities for the names of those involved in the disturbances and was likely to ban them for two years from football matches.

Feyenoord fans have been involved in trouble in the past. Supporters battled police on a visit to Germany for a match in February.

Next year, the Dutch and Belgians co-host the European soccer championships, with Rotterdam as the chief city and location of the final.

Paris SG - Marseille - 08/05/1999

Source: Reuters

Thirteen fans were hurt after factions faught outside the Parc des Princes following the 2-1 defeat of Marseilles by Paris Saint Germain. OM fans clashed with Paris rivals and a coach was attacked after the game. The two clubs are traditional enemies in the French game and previous fixtures have been marred by trouble.
**************************************************************

Source: Soccer Fans


This is considered as the higher risk game in France. P.S.G. and Marseille fans have a great rivality since the early '90 already.
Usually at the Marseille-P.S.G. game, no serious troubles can happend, also because the reserved visitors fans area is well situated in the stadium. It is also known that the Marseille police is better organized as in Paris, and the visiting fans are much easier controlled.

Incidents occured in Paris already at the arrival of the Marseille fans, between P.S.G. fans and the C.R.S. (french police) who had to make several charges in order to disperse the crowd.
Marseille fans travelled with TGV's [french rapid direct train], and then were brought with special bus from the station until the stadium.

Inside the stadium, Marseille fans made a nice tifo show, like did P.S.G. too. Marseille first scored, but in the last minutes of the game, P.S.G. team returned the situation and finally won by 2-1. This had as immediate implication a pitch invasion of some P.S.G. fans, followed then by Marseille Ultras who used all kind of weapons to fight on the pitch. Incidents lasted for some moments on the pitch, and it was the first time that such troubles occured in Paris. A whole peloton of C.R.S. hurried into the pitch to re-establish the calm.
Incidents moved then outside the stadium, involving Marseille Ultras who damaged all their special bus. The TGV train that brought them back to Marseille was seriously damaged too.

Raids on Birmingham City fans - 13/05/1999
Source: local press

Detectives have carried out a series of raids targeting suspected football hooligans in the Midlands. Three people have been arrested in what police say is the first in a wave of action to break up an organised group known as the Zulu Warriors. Teams of officers set out for addresses across Birmingham in the early hours of Thursday.
The move followed disturbances before and after the Birmingham City game against Wolverhampton Wanderers last month. The Zulu Warriors group is thought to have organised the violence.
Superintendent John Perkins, of West Midlands Police, said the group was using football as a "cover for their gratuitous violence. They don't commit the actual acts of violence in the ground necessarily - it's afterwards," he said.
"It's organised and sometimes at locations we don't become aware of until it's actually taken place. Somebody's going to get seriously hurt if this continues. We've got to stamp it out."
Although Wolverhampton won the Derby match against Birmingham City in April, it is Birmingham who are in the play-offs with a chance of promotion to the premier league.
There are fears that a hardcore of hooligans could use this as a showcase for their own ends.
Police have released pictures of three men they would like to question. They were captured on closed circuit or surveillance cameras after a police officer was kicked to ground and a missile thrown at a match official. The Zulus are not typical soccer thugs. Their uniform is made up of Burberry caps and expensive designer labels.
Detective Constable Ian McFadzean, of West Midlands Police, said: "They wear expensive baseball caps, Burberry tops, various types of designer labels costing several hundred pounds, and they all like to conform to a sort of a designer image.
"They're not down and outs who are hard up, they're people with a bit of money to spend."
While some Birmingham City fans have always had a reputation for violence, less and less trouble takes place within the ground, but club officials are determined to get rid of those responsible.
Alan Jones, of Birmingham City Football Club, said: "Anyone that is subject of a ban or a court order, or are found to be wrong-doing, will be banned by the club. We have the flexibility to ban for anything up to life."
The police say Thursday's arrests were the first in a series which will be carried out in an operation to target football violence.

Glasgow Rangers - Aberdeen FC - 25/04/1999

Source: local press

This fixture is fast becoming a very high risk game. This match saw Aberdeen allocated 1200 tickets for this live televised match. Minutes before kick off an Aberdeen fan ran all the way from the Broomloan Stand behind the goal to the centre circle and assaulted a well know entertainer who Rangers had brought in to provide pre match entertainment and generate an atmosphere among the 50,000 home fans (see picture on left). After the game the police tried to keep the visiting Aberdeen fans in their section so they could clear the area outside their end of Rangers fans so they could escort the Aberdeen fans back to their buses without confrontation but the police made a mess of the operation and instead ended up holding the Aberdeen fans in the area outside their end which resulted in the two sets of rival fans trying to get at each, this was only averted by mounted police being on hand to restore order.
