West Ham Vs Columbus Crew
good old West Ham fans doing what they do best. Getting drunk, starting fights and generally making tits of themselves (Makes me so proud to be a Hammer - though the guys comments at the end were quite witty for a retard):
'From the southeastern corner of Crew Stadium came the West Ham United chants: "East! East! East Lon-don!"
From the northeastern came the answer: "Co-lum-bus! Co-lum-bus!"
Today's war of words turned physical at halftime of the Crew's exhibition match against West Ham, when a handful of West Ham fans ventured into the heart of the Crew's supporters section.
A scuffle broke out and stadium security quickly pulled the West Ham interlopers to the stadium concourse. The next few minutes were frantic.
While the West Ham fans were removed to a stair landing on the back side of the stadium, supporters of both teams gathered on the concourse. Several punches were thrown and one West Ham fan was thrown to the ground by security and handcuffed by police, who used pepper spray or mace to help break up the melee.
More fans were seen handcuffed in the parking lots after the game.
Shortly after halftime, West Ham fans unfurled a banner in the stadium's south end that read " ICF, 30 Years Undefeated."
The Inter City Firm, or ICF, is one of the most notorious hooligan groups in England.
One of the fans who entered the Crew's supporters section was not ejected despite being detained by security for several minutes.
"We just went over for some tea and crumpets and (the Crew fans) got mad," said the man, who identified himself as Dave Simpson from London.'
