Cricket is not only a more interesting game, but it doesn't seem to have the same attraction for those 'certain people'!
Maybe in the 80's but not now. We now have the best behaved(domestic)supporters in Europe and one of the best in the World.
Let's be honest, it's rare to pick up a Sunday newspaper and read about trouble at matches.
Unfortunately our 80's reputation has stuck and every hooligan wants to fight the English, especially the Eastern European/block countries, ignoring the fact that most supporters are families enjoying the true spirit of the game.
