If its already been posted I apologise. Just found footage of Rochdale v Oldham fighting on the pitch. Not seen this level of hooliganism for over 25 years in english football. Not sure who was to blame probably both but Oldham had similar with Cheaterfield this season. Cannot see Oldham getting away with this ....surely because both incidents are inside football grounds they will be heavily fined or deducted points

Local Derby as well?

possibly because they might also have not played them that many times recently. once bury were the main rivels of rochdale but doubt that game will happen any season soon.

Shame about Bury, we lose clubs like that and get Forest Green Vegans and their ilk instead.

When these so called fans cause trouble at games and receive a football ban that lasts a period of time and covers all football, how is it policed? Facial recognition can easily be altered - shave beard off or grow one, grow long hair or go "bald" etc. etc.

have always said that. its not as if football clubs have high tech facial recognition is it. you,d get in at boreham wood never mind man.u if you altered your appearance. i,m sure at one time if you were banned from football you had to attend a local cop shop for the duration of the game. i know for a fact that people who have known me for years dog walking pass me unrecognised in the street when i put smart clean clothes on.
