I stand corrected. Not my area of expertise (or concern).The Addo are a very long standing Palace group. Other will know more, but I think at least 50 years old.
One of the Palace history books recounted a previous feud they had with another Palace firm 'Aero' (Addiscombe Eagles Rule OK) but this is back in 1970s/80s I believe.
So the fans complaining about the Palestine flag being waved are the flag shaggers?
Given that Palace owners Josh Harris and David Blitzer are Jewish, I think waving the Palestine flag on the anniversary of the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust was quite disgusting. Don't you agree?
If you run into the pitch, even just to show your bits for a laugh you get a lifetime ban. If you do it at an international match you have to hand in your passport to the local station any time England play away.
But if you go abroad and smash up some poor buggers business in the name of your club you get what? Sweet f*** all it seems.
First time I'm hearing of this so called "Addo" too. May I suggest Small Time Faggots as an official name?

The mask has well and truly slipped from the HFs on this one. We all had an inkling on them and now it just confirms.
They are also trying to paint themselves as the good guys and saying they were fighting "racism" even tho they were complicit in the violence that occured.
Both groups should be banned, away season tickets and points withdrawn.

No. The massacre wasn't by Palestine. It was by a small group of Hamas terrorists.
Palestine exists as a country. Waving a Palestinian flag is not the same as supporting terrorism, just the right of that country to exist.

The Addo Boys exist purely to provoke and cause trouble.
Honestly...who do they think they are? Violence is not the answer to alleged racism.

I don't think that's on the HF's Agenda.
Out of interest, what would you have done ?

Go back and read any thread about fighting among our own fans on this site. It's always HF vs Addo.
It has nothing to do with left/right wing politics, just the same as any other fight at football throughout the country or even your average Saturday night.
Im gonna take a wild guess and go alcohol and cocaine.
England
How are you blaming the HF for this?

In the Real World it doesn't work like that.I would have reported the alleged racism to the club or the police or both.
Violence is not the answer. And alleged racism should not be used as an excuse for violence.
England
In the Real World it doesn't work like that.
If you have a group of thugs in your face racially abusing you, how do you think reporting it to the club is going to stop it there and then ? And those French police looked like they were ready for trouble, I doubt very much if they would have sorted it out peaceably. I'm not condoning the violence, but your suggested solutions aren't going to fly I'm afraid.
I don't agree with everything HF, but I know whose version of events I believe in this case.
England
You do realise this happened in France and therefore I contend that normal rules do not apply . I understand that around 50 people were ejected ( estimated by someone I was with ) so some action was taken at the time ( halftime )Firstly reporting the abuse after the game (or during, via stewards) is how it’s supposed to work in football and that is why clubs have zero tolerance policies and the police have dedicated football units.
Secondly walking up and punching someone because they called you a name is still assault.
If the police are going heavy handed that is a separate issue. It doesn’t give anyone a free pass to throw a punch.
And lastly believing one side does not change the fact that violence wasn’t the only option or the right one.
I would still be saying the same if it was the other way round. And I stand by what I said both sides should be reported and banned. An investigation by the club should take place.
When the HF had their anti semitic flags out on the anniversary of the horrific attack on 7th October I didn't walk up to them and abuse or fight them. I simply reported it to the club who have since taken action.
