Is This Britain’s Most Violent Game?

There are 2 teams . The up'ards and the down'ards. A goal is at each end of long street. This video was pretty slanted towards the violent nature of the game and not particuarly balanced. Never participated (because Im not batshjt crazy) but it does happen near where I am (30 minute drive away)

2025-07-16 07:57:32 +0000 UTCI dont think there are teams as such, the 'teams' might number in the tens or more. And a 'team' might be just 2 people, maybe friends working together or more. Its a singular game as best as I can tell but you might 'team up' with people so that you dont get completely battered
