which conventionally is partly organised - the Top Boys / Generals of the supporters clubs have each others phone numbers to arrange venues whatever. Most grow out of it but unfortunately not all - I've got friends who grew out if it.

Liverpool / Juventus went completely OTT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heysel_Stadium_disaster

Its not something to try to understand - they live in their own world and and the best that can be said is that they generally try to avoid hurting the general public.

Personally I have no interest in soccer whatsoever whereas my daughter is a walking encyclopedia on UK stuff.
