  • The 2008 UEFA Cup Final riots were a series of public disorder incidents that took place in Manchester, England, on the day of the 2008 UEFA Cup Final. Serious disorder was allegedly sparked by the failure of a big screen erected in Piccadilly Gardens to transmit the match to thousands of Rangers fans who had travelled to the city without tickets. Greater Manchester Police reported that a "minority" of the 200,000 visiting Rangers' fans were involved in the violence; while Detective Superintendent Geoff Wessell, of Greater Manchester Police, stressed that a "very, very low proportion" of the travelling Rangers fans had been involved in disorder. In addition to property damage, fifteen policemen were injured and ambulance crews attended 52 cases of assault. A Manchester City Council inquiry into the events estimated that over 200,000 Rangers fans visited Manchester for the match, with 39 fans were arrested for a range of offences across the city, while 38 complaints were received about the conduct of Greater Manchester Police officers. The report however said that the 37,000 Rangers fans inside the City of Manchester Stadium were extremely well behaved and goodhumoured – a credit to their football club.. (en)
  • Gli scontri di Piccadilly Gardens o battaglia di Piccadilly, sono le espressioni giornalistiche usate dai mass media britannici per indicare la guerriglia urbana esplosa la notte del 14 maggio 2008 nel centro cittadino di Manchester al termine della contestata finale di Coppa UEFA tra Zenit San Pietroburgo e Rangers Glasgow qui tenutasi. La sera prima dell'atteso incontro, un supermercato di ha dovuto chiudere prima dell'orario da programma a causa di continui pestaggi tra tifosi; mentre a Manchester un gruppo non identificato di hooligan dei Rangers ha tentato di disattivare il sistema antincendio della città.Un rapporto della polizia risalente alla stessa sera, riporta del ritrovamento di alcune armi incendiarie rinvenute nel quartier generale dei tifosi del Rangers Glasgow. Prima della partita alcuni tifosi delle due squadre hanno provocato una grande rissa all'interno di un edificio vicino allo stadio riuscendo a non essere identificati, causandone l'immediata chiusura. Durante la partita si è verificata una leggera tensione tra le differenti fazioni di tifosi, e a fine partita moltissimi hooligan hanno fatto irruzione in campo cercando il contatto fisico con l'opposta curva.
