You could blame West Ham if they cut costs by not asking for a larger police presence
And for still serving alcohol in the ground.
I think the outcome would have still been the same as the trouble started not long after six o clock away from the ground and the fighting inside the ground was between fans and police/stewards which apparently started after hearing about what happened outside.

football is about passion.if they want to fight each other let em.youll never ever stop it best option would be to just minimise it,early kick offs no alcohol sales etc.a night match between these 2 is just crazy!
anyone that was on green street last night and got whacked knew the risks so no sympathy.

But that made it more likely for ticketless nobs to cause aggro outside. At least with a ticket, there was more chance of them being in the stadium for 7.45

West Ham said they will ban anyone for life who is identified/convicted to have caused trouble.Thing is the majority of them don't go to West Ham games anyway and last night was just a one off in order to cause trouble.

One of those detained last night was arrested for breaching a football-banning order. That seems to go to show how ineffective they are.

I can't see how they are enforceable myself
It's someone I know from elsewhere.

POLICE TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY STOPPED FOOTBALL FANS FROM KILLING EACH OTHER
SENIOR police officers have been told to explain why they prevented rival gangs of West Ham and Millwall fans from beating from each other to death last night.
As violence flared at Upton Park, zoologists said riot police had no right to interfere with the natural process of evolution.
Experts have called for new guidelines that will allow football supporters to bang each other's skulls with baseball bats until the last retard standing finally clubs himself into oblivion.
Dr Tom Logan, of the Institute for Studies, said: "A full-on riot between West Ham and Millwall fans is a bit like Mother Nature's pruning shears.
"We do not intervene when a pride of lions takes down an antelope, or when rival baboons fight over who gets the biggest nuts.
"So when two sets of London football fans decide to have a fight, we should simply leave them be, while observing the awesome majesty of Darwin's genius."
It is believed the violence flared between the rival supporters after an argument over who would be the first to grow opposable thumbs.
West Ham fan, Wayne Hayes, said: "They was sayin' that one of 'em already 'ad fums and could use tools and evryfin'.
"And I was like, 'you fackin' bastards, my old dad nearly 'ad fums once, you callin' me a cant?'."
But Millwall fan, Nathan Muir, pointed frantically at a piece of wood, insisting: "Ee-ee! Ee-ee-ah-ah-oo-oo! Eeeeee! Eeeeee! Eeeeeeeee!"
