The day England almost got completely kicked out of international football. ❌ ✈️
Euro 2000 was supposed to be a festival of football, but Charleroi and Brussels quickly turned into full-blown war zones. With over 800 arrests and deportations, UEFA delivered a brutal ultimatum to the FA: control your fucking fans, or you’re out of the tournament.
It forced the British government to rush through the Football Disorder Act 2000, changing the casual scene and tournament policing forever.
Were you out there in Belgium or Rotterdam? Did you or anyone you know end up on a banning order after this? Let me know in the comments.
👇 For the full, gritty story of what the casual scene was really like just after this era, check out my novel NORTHERN MONKEYS Available at all good retailers now! https://t.co/o38pEMPdrr

@RestoreBradford@GY_First@RestoreBritain_ I personally believe restores policies are the best option available. Granted, that's not saying much at the minute, but they're definitely on the right tracks. So you got my vote in the general election.
