The 2 seasons in League one I noticed away fans seemed more intent on intimidating people or trying to act tough, but I think it was still more just puffing their chests out trying to look the big man.
I've been going to 'the match' since 1969 and I've only ever seen violence from a distance, I always made sure I was in a place in the ground where it wasn't likely to 'kick off'. It strikes me that (for the most part, innocent bystanders excluded) those that suffer physical harm at the footy are those that go looking for a rumble and aren't very good at it. Being violent is a bit pathetic IMO, but acting/talking hard, especially if also not actually being hard is possibly worse.
