Have to agree with this. Football fans are still treated like second class citizens and every fan is considered “a hooligan” just because they’re passionate about their team.
Obviously there are those that still want to have a fight (never understood it, never will) but the vast majority are just people looking to watch some live sport.
There are plenty of incidents at rugby matches these days especially the big events when people have been drinking all day and it always gets blamed on “football fans on a day out looking for trouble”. As if any football fan decides to go to a rugby game for a fight?!
I’m willing to bet there are a few “incidents” after a darts event as well with the amount of beer that gets drunk, but that’s considered to be a great time. Get 50 football fans in a pub having a drink and the police are all over the place.
Last season when we played at bury it was crawling with police .I wonder what the cost was for that..
You do sometimes look around a stadium & wonder why there are so many bobbies.
Only been to one darts comp Egg and it was really good & not hint of trouble. That said they are strict on no football tops allowed. Atmosphere there was totally different from a football match.
That said, bet there’s a few at DW for Sheff Weds. Nutters this lot & they caused a lot of trouble at Preston on first game of season last year.
