The biggest myth that the 'Football Authorities' perpetuated throughout the late late '80's/early '90s was that anyone and everyone who stood was a potential hooligan.
WRONG. Those who picked a fight with the opposition at the train station, or in the streets outside the ground were hooligans. I'd be surprised if many of them even made their way into the ground in time for the match! ...and those who did, were too busy picking a fight with the away fans to even bother with the game.
Wanting to stand up during a game to watch the match isn't a sign of wanting to fight... it's a sign of wanting to stand, and sing, and support.
I don't get where the 2 wires were crossed!
