Englezi su ponešto smanjili huliganizam na stadionima, no najmanje u cijeloj priči je pomogao stupidni zakon, koji se kod nas spominje, a provodi selektivno. Kod zakona treba uzeti u obzir da glavni čovjek FA nije osoba koja ga je sama prekršila nekoliko puta, niti je glavni tajnik tamo mahao bakljom i pjevao uvredljive pjesme jednom od klubova lige. U Engleskoj se također malo teže može dogoditi da ljudi ulovljeni sa sjekirama na gostovanju, mirno odlaze na domaće i inozemne utakmice, često i pod zaštitom policije, jer, eto, gospodin u savezu koji je bar 4 puta prekršio postojeći zakon, je odlučio da su mu baš simpatični, pa se valjda niti na njih zakon ne odnosi, ko niti na njega.
Jednim dijelom je za određeni pad engleskog huliganizma NA STADIONIMA zaslužna solidna ekonomska situacija u jednom periodu, drugim dijelom gotovo 20 puta povećanje cijena karata, nije SAMO zakon pomogao. I, primjetite da se radi o SMANJENJU huliganizma na stadionima, ne o nestajanju. A ono kaj se smanjilo na stadionima, prelilo se okolo po ulicama. Pa sad možeš s dječicom na tekmu, al nemoj baš kad padne mrak s njima po gradu hodat.
Kad već trkeljamo o tom zakonu i Engleskoj, bilo bi dobro da se pobroje svi incidenti na našim stadionima u zadnjih 4 godine, pa usporedi sa incidentima na Engleskim stadionima u zadnje 4 godine:
On 1 December 2010, supporters of rival West Midlands clubs Aston Villa and Birmingham City clashed at St Andrew's stadium after a Football League Cup match, and 14 people were injured. Missiles were hurled on to the pitch, a rocket flare was released in the stands, and there were scuffles in nearby streets.[44] By this stage, football hooliganism was rising dramatically, with 103 incidents of hooliganism involving under-19's in the 2009–10 season compared to 38 the season before. Cass Pennant, a former football hooligan, said that the rise in football hooliganism was the result of rising unemployment, poverty, and social discontent in the aftermath of the recent recession – a situation similar to that in Britain for much of the 1970s and 1980s when hooliganism was at its peak.[45]
Use of bovver boots in football hooliganism was countered in 2012 by warnings to fans that they would have to remove such boots in order to attend football matches.[46]
In a match between Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United on 19 October 2012, a Leeds United fan attacked Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Chris Kirkland during a pitch invasion to celebrate a goal.[47] The hooligan was identified on social media sites as someone who had previously been banned from every football ground in the UK.[48]
At a FA Cup semi-final match between Millwall and Wigan Athletic at the new Wembley Stadium on 13 April 2013, Millwall fans fought amongst themselves, and 14 arrests were made.[49]
The next day, Newcastle United fans rioted when their team lost 3–0 to Sunderland in their Premier League match. Bottles were thrown, bins were set on fire and a horse was punched as mounted officers tried to move crowds back to allow visiting fans to be escorted away. Twenty-nine arrests were made during the game itself.
