Disadvantages: could face heavy time in nick

However when they do are organised enough, why is hooliganism different from ther average drunken fight on a saturday night between a group of lads? Hooliganism is like an extreme sport, stupid as it may seem there is nothing more exciting than coming out of a train station 20 handed knowing that there could be 40/50 Yids round the corner.
