 Not sure looking at the team with the worst hooligans in Thailand is a good idea. Buy Bangkok United and move them back to Bangkok would be a better fit.

^ the worst hooligans' really ?  went to loads of games home and away  NEVER saw many probs     yet every time i went to port, their fans were ALWAYS causing trouble    home and away.. has that changed?
