I’m curious because I was marvelous to see in UK there is practically no fence to impede the entry from the audience into the football field, other than the discipline of the people for not to do that. However I’ve seen in Italy there’re a more physical barriers than in UK, and recently(watching the Real Madrid football game), I learned it’s alike in Germany.
So my question would be: is it seen as a sign of popular civilization when people don’t need physical barriers to refrain them? Do you think that British population is therefore the most disciplined compare with the rest of Europe?

Perimeter barriers were banned in the UK after the Hillsborough disaster, which was where 96 fans were crushed to death against the fences.

Oh those disciplined British football supporters, in particular those jolly English. Their gallantry, respect, refined civilized manners when supporting their nation is well known through European football history. Always a welcome sight those little rascals.

Huh, I didn't t know British knew how to play real football. A football stadium at one of the colleges I attended (the bog house) has a seating capacity of around 110,000 spectators. I believe it's record attendance was around 116,000. Never had any issues entering or leaving as we'll as during a game. Alcohol is prohibited inside the stadium. Go Blue.
sophiasummer: As with football games, that's such a hard out competitive rally. I would be scared to go to any games as, the passion reaches far beyond the walking off the "out gate"
Ok Sophia. But you didn't tell us whether the stadium has huge fences or nothing

montemonte: No "fences" here. Just high walls.http://sezginalay.myblog.it/archive/2011/09/27/new-york-giants-stadium.html
GO BLUE
Isn't there a documentary describing the entire state of New Jersey being fenced in because of its conversion into our country's largest federal prison?

Well... I'm scared too and I'm a man. Is it the "passion" there as high as the passion here?
