My dad was heavily involved in football hooliganism and i must say that i hate it !! However to say he' s thick etc would be quite unfair. He's quite a talented poet as you will see during these events and he is a really nice man. However still don't agree with what they used to do.

Paulstoke. No I am not one dimensional and think I am always right, but if you think that there is another explanation than just a bunch of criminals causing havoc and chaos to the streets whilst innocent people are trying to enjoy a game of football, I would love for you to tell me what it is?
As for going on the evening, no thankyou, but I hope you find it worthwhile

How much are tickets? And are the guest speakers receiveing any money or is going towards a charity? We have considered how to benefit a Charity from the events, and have not made any decisions as yet as to which Charity to donate to. In fact this would be an ideal opportunity to ask the football community on here for suggestions on a Charity cause for the Stoke Event. Mark Chester has made donations to Charity and has chosen not to make this anyones business but his and the Charities he helps. At the time of the book launch for "Naughty" Mark was approached by the father of a young lad suffering from Canavans Syndrome. The youngster needed a specialised wheelchair urgently. Mark immediately told the guy to go ahead and order the wheelchair and that he would meet the cost. This youngster and his father are both local and so some of you may be aware of this story already..... Mark is not aware that I have made this tale public....So if you have any suggestions regarding a suitable and local charitable cause to which we can donate then please let me have them. Thanks

Meirsquare - Whilst I would not choose to attend the evening, obviously anyone who wishes to should have that right and we supposedly live in a land promoting free speech, but please do not underestimate the fact that even if you are not trying to glorify hooliganism (and im sure youre not) some people will look up to your speakers and possibly wish to emulate them. As much as you have a right to have such an evening, thousands of people should also have the right to attend a football match safely.

It's not about fighting and violence its about the casual culture and nice shirts and slip on shoes I know this because I was put right last time they were on about this event.
The people going would be most upset if any one was to talk about gang culture and drunken assualts.

The 50mm cavity gap from the outer brickwork to the inner blockwork prevents sound and water ingress.
Cavity insulation closes this gap.
Will somebody please think of the children!!!

The people going would be most upset if any one was to talk about gang culture and drunken assualts. Of course its about the violence too.... Why it happens...Causes etc.... As for the terrace fashion that played a big part too...take a look around the ground next time you are there mate....

We were planning to have the first event in Stoke in late March...however we have decided to wait until the website is up and running and other developments have been worked out too. The Stoke event is now pencilled in for late April...full details will be available on the website. I hope that answers your query. As for being a bellend with no mates..??? Well Ive been called worse ...
