When the police cracked down on violence in the football grounds the hooligans moved out into the streets and on the way to matches. Some towns in the UK that have lower division football clubs have witnessed clashes between groups on their way back from games in other parts of the UK.

As Terry mentioned the gangs became more sophisticated and would arrange clashes by mobile phone or on the internet. Often they film whats happened on mobiles and post it on youtube
