I have been told many times in the past about the quality of the Czech beer and the beauty of the Czech girls....and the more you will drink, the better they will look ;)
The banners at the stadium advertised the fact there were hooligans in the crowd. We saw evidence of their willingness to fight at the game. Problems arose from the fact that some Middlesbrough supporters had bought tickets for the home end. Before the game began there was some fighting and seats ripped otu and thrown. We could see some of the fans from behind the goal at the other end of the stadium start running towards our end. They pulled their scarves up to conceal their faces.
My brother has also been on a train from Warsaw to Prague when Banik fans ran amok so it isn't just a case of some of our Middlesbrough idiots (for me they are not fans) provoking problems.
It seems indicative of English football during the 80s when we had no end of problems.
