That stuff hasn't happened here for years, outside of that Millwall v West Ham pitch invasion a little while ago. You will get trouble before and after matches in pre-designated areas, but there is so much police protection during the matches and around the visiting supporters that it is virtually impossible for anything to kick off.
Having said that, supporter violence is endemic to the sport, globally. No where more evident than in South America where buses are overturned, pitches are invaded bi-weekly and people are killed on an astonishing basis.
