The game was postponed but the Aberdeen Soccer Casuals still arrived in Edinburgh and there was an attempt by the CCS to run into the station to confront them. The Aberdeen hooligans exited the station and the gangs clashed on Princes Street. [4] Buford, Bill (1993). Among the thugs (1st Vintage Departuresed.). Vintage Departures. pp. 171–172.

There was a small skirmish between Hibs boys and the Leeds Service Crew on Easter Road near to the stadium. [34] After the match Hibs boys were seen to be carrying knives in rolled up newspapers. [57] FIG FACT-SHEET FOUR: HOOLIGANISM". Football Industry Group, University of Liverpool. Archived from the original on September 13, 2008 . Retrieved March 20, 2011. In his autobiography 'Undesirables', Colin Blaney, a high-ranking member of Manchester United's Inter City Jibbers firm, claimed that one of the main developments of the 2010s was that football hooligans were no longer involved in acquisitive crimes overseas. Whereas they had once stolen designer clothing from abroad and used international games as an excuse to loot jewelry shops on the continent, the football firms of today solely engage in profit-oriented forms of crime within the UK. [85] 2020s [ edit ] On the way to the game the CCS stopped outside the Green Tree pub and engaged in scuffles with rival supporters. During the match the opposing casual groups threw coins at each other over the segregation fence. After the match the CCS clashed with CSF in Mcleod Street. [7]

On 8 August 1986 rival gangs of Manchester United and West Ham United hooligans were involved in violence on a Sealink ferry bound for Hook of Holland. Eight football hooligans, all either Manchester United or West Ham United supporters, received prison sentences totalling 51 years 16 months later. [35] Another incident was soon forthcoming: on 20 September 1986 Leeds United hooligans overturned and immolated a fish and chip van at Odsal Stadium, the temporary home of Bradford City following the fire at Valley Parade the previous year. [36] On 11 May 1985 (the same day as the Bradford City stadium fire) a 14-year-old boy died at St Andrew's stadium when fans were pushed by police onto a wall which subsequently collapsed following crowd violence at a match between Birmingham City and Leeds United. [nb 1] [30] The fighting that day was described by Justice Popplewell, during the Popplewell Committee investigation into football in 1985, as more like "the Battle of Agincourt than a football match". [28] [nb 2] [31] Because of the other events in 1986 and the growing rise in football hooliganism during the early 1980s, an interim report from the committee stated that "football may not be able to continue in its present form much longer" unless hooliganism was reduced, perhaps by excluding "away" fans. [28] The night before the match the CCS fought pitched battles at various city centre locations with Anderlecht boys, bikers, mods and finally with a gang of Maghrebis. This last fight involved the use of bottles, tables, chairs and knives as weapons resulting in injuries to members of each mob. Armed police arrived on the scene and arrested 50 Hibs boys. After the match the CCS clashed with Liege hooligans and there were 5 arrests, two of them were Hibs casuals. The train from Dover to London that contained the returning Hibs hooligans had one carriage completely smashed up. When the train arrived the British Transport Police arrested 16 Hibs boys in connection with this vandalism. [3] [28] After this cup replay was played as the ASC returned to their mini-buses they encountered some Hibs boys on Princes Street who informed them that they had got to their vehicles already and vandalised them with one of them being smashed into a fence. [4]According to Colin Blaney in Hotshot: The Story of a Little Red Devil, many of Manchester United's football hooligans turned to serious crime during this period. He states that roughly half of the team's hooligans became involved in selling class A drugs, partly because of the wave of drugs that came with early 1990s rave culture, a scene that football hooligans were at the centre of. [53] 2000s [ edit ] West Yorkshire Police camera system control station at Elland Road, used to identify hooligans and rioters. On 6 January 2007, when Motherwell came to Airdrie in the 2006–07 Scottish Cup, fighting broke out in the main street. The CCS were seated in the main grandstand and during the second half of the match one of them fired off a red ship flare that resulted in some seats being scorched. [6] [20]
