Actually, since a series of disasters in the eighties, it has been 
the law for some years now that stadiums have to be all-seater.

As with your hockey joke, there are fans who go purely in order to 
fight.  Because of the measures the police take to prevent them, 
they tend to be highly organised about it and lay their plans on the 
internet etc.
