Links to reports - Spurs fans attacked yet again
There are some deranged people in the world who seem to think violence is big, it isn't, it's the resort of the neanderthal who doesn't have a coherent argument with which to fight his case.
Yet again on our travels Spurs fans have been subjected to violence. In Italy in 2012/13 you will remember the Police were mysteriously absent when Spurs fans were attacked by Italian thugs and took a remarkably long time to react. I'm sure you drew your own conclusions at the time, certainly the Police chief shouldn't have remained in his post after such incompetence.
If you have a meeting point for foreign supporters, an area where they are going to be drinking then you have a police presence, that is common sense or it should be. Our fans were attacked in France as well, now it's Belgium where our fans have had to run the gauntlet again.
On this occasion they were attacked with bricks and bottles while having a quiet drink with no singing or chanting, indeed a local hotelier said Spurs fans had been no trouble at all. Reports suggest security will be stepped up after several supporters were injured in the incident. That suggests that security isn't and wasn't going to be good enough, certainly their intelligence wasn't.
You don't get 50 attackers without organisation and disgracefully the Belgian media are keeping quiet about it.
