In the run up to the Real Oviedo game the next day (v Sporting B), the local press were having a few kittens about the problems that may occur. As it was, nothing untoward happened. Maybe that 'reputation' that you read about is a thing of the past?Danny Lasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15553871140609359862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-30528152219256019732010-09-29T21:00:55.785+01:002010-09-29T21:00:55.785+01:00Interesting read Danny but one reason why there wa...Interesting read Danny but one reason why there was so few away fans is that Sporting Gijon's supporters have one of the worst reputations in Spain for hooliganism.<br /><br />What you correctly point out was passion can easily change to something more intimidating.<br /><br />Did hooliganism not crop up in your research/following of Heehon? Surely if you've ready Sid Lowe or Phil Ball it's something they have referred to often.Nicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-67252030592316301092010-09-29T17:12:55.190+01:002010-09-29T17:12:55.190+01:00fantastic blog, i will see you frecuently.fantastic blog, i will see you frecuently.davidirracionalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3338911017388638492.post-52794863780445914812010-09-29T16:24:47.720+01:002010-09-29T16:24:47.720+01:00@Vendovos Mareo - claro que si.
