Shocking footage of soccer fans after a match has reignited complaints about public safety, following previous warnings repeated violence was putting families at risk.

Perth Glory supporters have demanded action over a confrontation near HBF Park, with video posted on social media showing a group of young people as they crowded around a parked white vehicle and aggressively rocked it from side to side.

Other footage filmed from across the road shows young people confronting fans in the street, with the group spread across the footpath and roadway outside nearby businesses.

Images shared alongside the complaints show fighting on previous occasions, as well as damaged fences and other property. Supporters allege the material documents a recurring problem involving the same group and have demanded bans and stronger security measures.

The footage prompted calls for bans and renewed criticism of matchday security, with supporters alleging genuine fans face strict enforcement over minor issues while more serious behaviour goes unchecked.

‘The same group of troublemakers causing chaos and mobbing random people’, one fan posted on social media platform X.

Supporters allege genuine fans are being left feeling unsafe at Perth Glory matches

Tagging Perth Glory, they added: ‘It’s time you do something about it. People have had enough.’

The supporter also called for individuals to be banned and, in a subsequent post, alleged nearby property had been damaged.

WA Police, Perth Glory and A-Leagues have all been contacted for comment.

Perth-based football podcast and digital channel The Far Post Perth shared the original post, adding its own demand for intervention.

‘Not a good look at all and something needs to be done about the problem at this point, genuine supporters are being impacted,’ the account wrote.

One commenter alleged the group had been moving through the venue during the match while being followed by security and police.

‘This is the mob that was walking back and forth all game with security/police following,’ they wrote.

‘We don’t need this at HBF Park. It makes many people feel unsafe when these wannabe thugs just shove their way through.’

The person who posted the footage claimed that ‘after the game the police and security were nowhere to be seen’.

They also shared a separate video from February, alleging it showed an earlier confrontation involving the same group.

The February post had complained about people attending matches in The Bay supporter area and allegedly fighting with other young spectators.

The complaints follow a strongly worded statement issued last year by supporter groups The Bay Perth and Shed End Perth, which demanded sanctions after a separate incident outside Gate 2 during the second half of a match at HBF Park.

The groups said they were aware of footage circulating online and distanced themselves from those involved, alleging physical confrontations had become a recurring problem.

‘We want to make it absolutely clear that those involved are not fans and do not represent our supporter groups, our values, or the wider football community,’ their joint statement read.

‘These individuals consistently attend matches with the sole intention of causing problems rather than supporting the team, and their behaviour is completely unacceptable.’

The statement alleged confrontations had occurred in active supporter areas and the Eastern family stand, extending the groups’ concerns beyond the stadium’s most vocal sections.

‘In almost every single game, they have caused physical confrontations in both the Active areas, and in some cases the Eastern family stand too, and it is deeply frustrating that this behaviour continues without meaningful consequences,’ the groups said.

They alleged the behaviour was damaging the experience of supporters who attended matches to follow Perth Glory.

The groups also accused matchday security provider NPB Security of failing to respond adequately to incidents.

Their criticism included allegations that a rotating contingent of inexperienced security staff was being deployed and that personnel were unable or unwilling to intervene when serious problems arose.

‘The lack of accountability from NPB Security is unacceptable and has undermined the safety of the matchday environment,’ the statement read.

‘Warnings and passive responses are clearly not working.’

The groups called for bans and other sanctions, warning that further incidents could affect spectators and people working at the ground.

‘Without firm action, including bans and real consequences, these so-called ‘fans’ will continue to put genuine supporters, families, and staff at risk.’

They urged the club and stadium authorities to identify those responsible and impose firm sanctions.

Their earlier warning has been followed by fresh complaints about how security rules are enforced at Perth Glory matches.

‘Meanwhile security go OTT about bottled water in the shed or actual fans taking t-shirts off,’ one supporter wrote in response to the latest footage.

Another commenter similarly complained that removing a shirt in the supporter bay could result in ejection, while alleging people involved in violence escaped consequences.

The Far Post Perth also challenged a response that dismissed the latest incident as ‘kids being kids’.

‘Kids being kids is vandalising other people’s property? Interesting,’ the account replied, referring to the allegations of property damage.

However, one person responding to the original footage questioned whether those shown in the street were Perth Glory supporters.

‘In the second video, the person filming is standing where the stadium is. These idiots look like they are walking from the other side of the road,’ the commenter wrote.

‘Are we sure they are even Glory fans? Or just troublemakers.’

The person who uploaded the footage insisted they were, although the posts do not establish that the same individuals were involved in each of the incidents raised by commenters.

The Bay Perth and Shed End Perth had made their position on violence explicit in their earlier appeal for action.

‘Violence, fighting, and antisocial behaviour have no place in football,’ they said.

‘HBF Park, The Shed, The Bay and all areas of the ground should be a safe and welcoming environment for all supporters, families, players, and staff.’
