Will really bad hooliganism return one day?

Do you believe that unless the FA and Football League work with the supporters there will be a massive backlash from supporters?

Many fans are getting annoyed with the increased ticket prices, lack of safe standing, stewards thinking they are police officers, heavy handed police officers treating away fans like rubbish and stupid away regulations and kick off times.

I believe that sooner or later if there is nothing done about it and the organisations don't meet the fans half way there will be some sort of backlash from it where the fans take things into their own hands. Fans up and down this country are being constantly kicked whilst already being down to the point where we as fans can barely do anything at games anymore.

They could really shoot themselves in the foot if they're not careful because there is only so far you can push a person or group of people before they snap. If you look on the continent so many incidents occur parallel to one another that police can hardly control the problem which has led to full scale riots outside stadiums. With gang problems in some cities a major problem it is also possible that these gangs affiliate with clubs to give themselves media coverage so that could also become a factor.

Everything seems to happen in cycles so it would not surprise me. There is only so many times you can hit a dog before it will bite you. Im not condoning it in any way, shape or form but treating an entire section of society like shit is hardly the answer.

Never... it will never end, but no where near on the scales of 70/80/90s

It won't be as bad as it was, but one day the fans will crack and hell will break loose
