I'm off to Assam soon, but looking at the articles on the right of the page I'm a little worried about the possibility that elephants are football hooligans.

Will I be safe to wear my Newcastle United football shirt?

How can you tell if a herd of elephants are drunk?

Will they be wearing football scarves?

Do they have a local watering hole where they converge before matches?

What are the early signs that a stampede is approaching?

And to add to steve's comments,

Who are the cheerleaders?? I wonder what they look like. And if the earth shakes in Assam during timeouts.
Do they wear skimpy dresses, too?

Watch out if the audience is mostly elephants and they decide to do the wave.
