Same here - my brother was supporting Denmark because of the disgusting behaviour of some of the English fans

That's terrible! Especially that it involves a family with a child. Why would anyone do that?


My husband was driving via Lordship Lane that night and there was a big group of fans on the roundabout and running around stopping the traffic. I can understand the disturbance to the traffic, but never any kind of violence. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Some can't take their drink very well - Rye Lane was just singing its coming home and a lot of cars beeping - didn't see any trouble.

Sadly there were assaults in the stadium and on the way home for quite a few Denmark fans. I hope security will be better for the final, given some of the idiots who support England.

Hope they start a fundraiser in the same way as for the little German girl, she's donating it to Unicef. Kids acting better than adults..

No excuse. In vino veritas. Drink brings out the truths of the person. They?re bigoted racists.

I hope the family are all okay and what a terrible thing to have happened.

😱 "Boris made me drink and act like a total twonk" claimed a football fan.

That's a bit of a random association edcam especially as football thugs have been around almost as long as football has been played, so I suspect it was spured on by drink and a lack of emotional intelligence!

Nothing to do with atmosphere as far as I can see. Just a fundamental lack of respect for others and no self-control. What a horrible situation for that family.

    • It's the "due to commercial reasons" line again that is vexing. Last year it seemed, although there was a similar level of objection, that the reasons were commercial - Gala didn't appear entirely prepared to run 3 more events, or more likely didn't have sufficient interest from other promoters / organisers who could 'sub-let' the site as with Brockwell Park (I believe?). This year they appeared more organised, had another year to plan & prepare, to the extent they actually had names for two of the three new events which indicated to me that they had third party promoters / organisers in place.  So yes, it does make you wonder whether the repeated level of objection, combined with the impending elections, led to the council 'advising' that maybe they shelve it again? I'm afraid I can't see the whole extension application just being a ruse to guarantee permission for the 'regular' event. Gala are a commercial venture with ambition - every festival's business plan is to expand, expand, expand, year on year on year. Gala won't give up until they have taken over the whole park for a Summer of Raves, and the mysterious owners are on their yachts counting their ££££
    • Thanks for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
