It is an excuse and I hate how often we do make excuses but we all know alcohol is a contributing factor to violence.
Port are no lone rangers here though as we have seen (purely based in the media) an increase in violence at Crows games as well.
I would love to know the stats on incidents at Footy Park to now at Adelaide Oval. Wouldn't take to much. It would take to much of an imagination to think how the city location
1. Allowing people to stay in the city after work and then head to the ground drinking more than they ordinarily would.
2. The (Bogan/Feral) element every club has can get pissed on cheap alcohol at home and then jump on the 1 train and head in.
3. The Hill, most violence I have seen over my years at AO has happened on the hill where obviously the bar is but where you also have the element of crowded, standing patrons, bumping into one another. Guys there just to chat up girls walking around etc. The 'nightclub' vibe it creates rather than the sit down vibe you get.
