Going away to the Baggies when I was younger was the first time I ever really experienced the dangerous side of football. The police were there with their cameras recording us, I felt so wierd, as if I was already a prisoner or something, even though I'm completely harmless. Anolther experience I had was when Cardiff came down to Molineux and the away fans started to fight amongst themselves at half time, how strange is that? The police stormed in with their dogs (which are enough to put me off the idea of fighting!)
I couldn't even start to think about what to say about this picture, but I wouldn't mind putting a few quid on the fact that he'll be fighting for his club when he's older! However, as he is so young, I can see that some kids may be influenced by their parents when they go to the match. Luckily, my Dad goes into complete tunnel vision and doesn't say a word from kick off until half time, which wierdly I prefer to him swearing and everything, it takes the fun out of it I think.
3,172 fans were banned from seeing their favourite football team forever in the season of 2007-08 and that just makes me think, is it really worth it?
