Asking for trouble

My local football team Stoke City look set to suspend their ID card scheme for away fans during a trial period this season. Personally I think this is a very stupid idea. I studied football hooliganism and produced a documentary on the subject for a final year project at university. I conducted a number of interviews with hooligans (members of Stoke City's Naughty-40 and under-5s) and can remember a number of them informing me that they only attended home games because they didn't want to have an identity card. There's a strong possibility that trouble may increase at Stoke City away matches this season...
