Answers anyone?

Answers to what?
How to stop fights ever breaking out wherever young men gather to drink late into the night?
Last year at Euro 2012 not a single England fan was arrested and the number of Ukrainians arrested was minimal - and that was for the entire tournament not just one game.
Sadly these deplorable things happen but are comparatively rare, especially in Kyiv. If these was an easy answer it would have been adopted by now.

Moving off topic a little Zeuhl, but yes, there is a fault with the planning process. The rights of individuals to have their lives uninterrupted by developments are not considered fully. The assumption is that development will be allowed even if clear and quantifiable reasons for objection exist. And more important than that, there is no right of appeal against granting of planning consent but those seeking consent can appeal to the planning inspectorate and have the matter re-heard. Very often this means overturning the local authority who may have listened to the concerns of local residents.

Folk victims to changes they could not have anticipated should be able to claim compensation. It is a separate matter that, that isn't in place. And it allows councils to inflict what they want to, as masters of the public, not public servants. But as said that's a different issue.

Local communities tend to support local sport, so I can't see banning anything is a reasonable option. Society would be the poorer for such acts.

Preventing spectators from the experience of watching the live game is to remove much of the reason for it being played. The majority ought not to penalised for the actions of the idiot few.

The only real answer is for countries to teach their citizens to act in an acceptable manner. If the parents are incapable then it has to fall to the teaching establishments to cover, since there is no one else.

Whilst society can not control their mental cases then this sort of thing will continue, football or no football. Remove one excuse and another will be found.
