Youth hooliganism
A new breed of modern hooligan is on the rise - the youth.
They have new tactics, new movements and a new motive.
They have new tactics, new movements and a new motive.
Instead of fighting on trains or in the terraces like their older compatriots, the new hooligans arrange places to meet prior to the football match day, and as can be seen in the video above, they can have a good old scrap without the intervention of the police.
They can arrange to meet in new places through modern technology such as smart phones, communicating with other firms through social media such as Facebook and Twitter.
Police are aware that incidents occur away from the ground and have asked for football clubs to folk out additional policing costs to cover the disorder, however they have no evidence of this, the Mail Online reports.
In 2010 information released by the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo), showed that incidents of hooliganism at matches where young people were involved rose from 38 in 2007 to 103. Figures also showed that 290 youngsters had received Football Banning Orders from stadiums across Britain.
Supporters as young as 12 are getting involved in violence outside football grounds, and recently two 12-year-old boys were given banning orders for disorder at a Newcastle versus Sunderland game.
