Is the crowd trouble at upton park someting not seen for many years, on the comeback?
with one person stabbed, and others injured, lets hope it was a one off.
Millwall well known for its racist supporters(some) and heartland of the BNP
but it appears this time it was West ham fans that caused all the problems.
Of course most of these clubs have a minority of supporters who just go to games to fight, and build up a reputation for it.
Lets hope this was one off

it was all very sad keith, it must be noted though, that 99% of the trouble was not at the ground.
thugs from outside football have always intruded on this fixture, i was amazed that the police were so unprepared, the internet was full of open plans for where the trouble would happen.
i have attended over 15 matches between the 2 clubs over the years, always a lot of bad feeling, but normally so well policed that only isolated incidents occur.
