    First time for me yesterday. The crowd were welcoming, everyone was polite and the players stopped fighting as soon as the klaxon sounded. There was a real sense of community throughout. Children were encouraged to kick the ball before the game ramped up at the end.
    Yes it can be viewed as moronic violence but also a bizarre tradition that allows some steam to be let off. Everyone attending or playing knows what they are in for so as long as the violence stays in check it’s a really fun day.
    Important to note that the entire game including all spectators stopped for a minute silence for a former player.

We are a laughing stock to countries like Russia and China and they will go through us like a hot knife through butter. Our people now are mainly immoral and uneducated and that blame can be laid squarely at the feet of those in charge.

    Not one but of coverage showing how everyone all stopped and came together as one for the minutes silence in respect for a ball game and atherstone legend all just about getting as many minutes of the violence in which was very tame this year funny how I even predicted this page directly would be the one to do it

      Bit naive. As important as the silence was (I was there yesterday), the vast, vast majority of viewers from outside Atherstone are clicking on this video to see the fists fly, to see the exciting melee, to see the brutal scenes. I don't really expect people to watch a one-minute silence on RUclips! I am pleased this video gives some good weighting to the kids at the end catching sweets and kicking the ball, but don't be fooled, we're all human, people want to see a bit of brutality!

      Hi Barry, Like most other photographers, I was taking part in the silence out of respect, so didn't film that bit.

    And the police just let this happen! It should be outlawed. This is supposed to be a civilised country!!!!

      It's getting on for 1,000 years old. Ignore tradition at your peril.

    I can confidently say I wouldn't care to spend time with anybody who participates in such events
