Getting started

Yesterday I was able to get a start on my project.  I began with reading the book called Among the Thugs by Bill Buford, an American who was living in Britain.  I learned that there was kind of a hierarchy within the gangs themselves, and that the gang members weren't necessarily the scum of society.  Many actually had jobs and/or families.  They also cannot stand to miss a match for their home team regardless of where it is being played.
