Hmmm …
Last Tuesday wasn’t something I expected to see …
I got talking to one of the regulars, today’s, who’s a bit of a Hammers fan, before you ask, who’d not actually been at last Tuesday’s Carling Cup match — which saw at least ten arrests, and one man in hospital — but had seen and been shocked at the news reports
Something we both agreed was that it definitely a disgrace. And that no-one had seen for a good decade.
Now, I’m no football fan, but I can remember the 1970s.
Whew!
I can remember seeing the news reports of the violence, that occurred, without fail, every week; it’s something that gave — and still gives — English football a bad reputation.
To the best of my recall, I also think— in part — it’s why my step-father never took me to a West Ham match, back in the day.
Let’s face it, this sort of thing didn’t exactly make the game look family friendly …
