What follows is a list of the names of firms (groups of hooligans)
gathered and given to us by two people who have assisted us with our research.
It is clear that many clubs have more than one named group, but the list
is by no means complete because new outfits are being formed and developing
all the time.
It will nevertheless give some idea of the range if clubs
which have firms attached to them and which may well be meeting some time
in the near future. For the record, Wigan Athletic, who have an average
attendance for home games of about 2,000, recently took a firm of approximately
400 to Blackpool for a pre-arranged 'meeting'. And you thought we
were joking?
