They dissappeared?
Or do you only see them frequently at championship matches? Or is this completely dissappeared?

One would hope that they have disappeared, off the face of the earth.

i know 100% they have not dissapeared at all and most clubs in england and wales are very active.just the media dont hype it up so much now as theres no big tournament on ie euro or world cup,also these days it tends to follow the clubs from the lower div

we have got our bad element within the club but so have most other lower league clubs reason i know was i was actively involved in it with the swans years ago but grew up once my daughter was born and realised how stupid i was lol,but just because you dont read about it much in the media it hasnt gone away just not published much now.

also theres a few clubs in the prem still very active = spurs,man.utd,everton,villa just a few i could mention also got a really good dvd here with a really good puntch up last season or the season before with everton vrs man.utd

Unfortunatly the "Casual" scene is still quite active, especially in Leagues 1/2 but surprisingly the Conference and below are far worse.

It would appear that all the "firms" have been banned from grounds, yet the lower you go in the leagues the more active it is due to stewarding/policing being less effective, so the people with banning orders filter down the leagues

Generally if you go looking for it at any ground you will find it. IMO they should be put in a field somewhere, left to beat the crap out of each other, so innocent bystanders don't get caught up in it, cos if they are going to fight each other then 99% of the time they will find a way.

The sad thing about this is that innocent people get caught up in this, i hate to see this when a 10 year old is going to a match with his Dad and witnesses this type of aggression, his idea of a Football Match changes from that day.
