Isn't it great that rival supporters can mingle in the crowd of a rugby match wiithout fighting each other?

Imagine such a scene in a football match...dozens would have been stabbed/punched or even killed. What makes rugby supporters so much more civilized than their rowdy football equivalents/ Could it be that watching football is like watching paint dry and that they need a diversion to keep them amused?
Go to any premiership (or championship ground) and you'll find that the home and away supporters are segregated.
How much 'friendly banter' would you get , for example, at a West Ham-Millwall match at either Upton Park or The Den if rival supporters were standing next to each other??
