Primary data were collected by a questionnaire survey mainly at the Eden stadium in 2015/16 and 2016/17 seasons. A total of 120 respondents (aged 25.01 ± 10.20 years old) participated in this research, and all of the respondents were attending the matches in a stand of home team supporters. We found that expressions of demolishing the stadium and other riots are considered the most serious expression of violent behavior (supporters 100%, fans 84%, and spectators 64%). On the other hand, we observed that booing was considered the least serious problem (supporters 100%, spectators 64%, and fans 57%). In our opinion, the results are appropriate, but we expected higher values regarding racism display and comments like demolishing the stadium and other riots. |
