    Looks more like a no man brawl or is that the point?

    Didn't they have a 50 man brawl at Bromley a few years back?

    Think they have had a few of late?
    From what I can make out it was before kick off as well?
    That portakabin brings back some memories though!

    From as far back as the 70's they've always been wrong-uns. Before they climbed up through the football league, they were always known for their trouble making throughout non-league. This seemed to disappear when they became successful, although this was probably down to having small numbers in comparison to the teams they were playing.

    Nasty little shit-hole of a club and one of the reasons I for one felt no pity for them when they upped sticks to the city of cows..................

    As I understand it, most non league fans were glad to see the back of them when they were promoted to the league a few seasons ago.

    At the old Plough Lane a few of our nutters always seemed to kick off and have a disturbance around the time the wombles would have a corner and our players would get distracted and leak a goal , may have been a coincidence
    And rather than lobbed out our fans were walked around the ground and led into the away fans enclosure

    As per usual every loon in the town had turned out for a big game down there. It didn't help a member of the Bromley board was seen selling cans of Fosters out of a portacabin window for about 50p a go!

    The main incident occurred between Palace who had a family tie to Coney Hall and Wimbledon who had a couple of Millwall and Charlton with them.

    A couple of years late there was another incident in the slug and lettuce involving some local Millwall and the same Dons group.

    The nasty group Leeroy refers to used to follow England all over the place. I seem to remember them causing bother a lot of places they went in their non league days, Wallingford with some Reading particularly stands out.

    Met three of them in enfield town not so long ago and had a booze with them

    They were old faces from WHL who were on long term banning orders

    They came from kingston and had gravitated to AFC

    They seem to have a follwing of 30 to 50 lads all of whom had previous links to other groups

    They were hooking up that day with some others who now go to enfield town for the same reason before AFC played barnet

    People getting banned from a league club and then turning up at a nearby non league club is not a new phenomenon, as the non league club is not seen as a rival and the banning order doesn't extend that far. It appears they are sticking by the new team despite promotion to the league.

    There may now be a greater attraction for those involved in football violence, regardless of banning orders, to head to non league as it is presumably easier there to arrange and get away violence there than in the league.
