For SWP I doubt Ipswich regardless of the numbers is considered it a high-profile game, as all the gates were open and barely segregation, but a few Ipswich teens had a few tinnies, watched Green Streets the night before and forgot they were going to Cardiff. It could have gotten a bit ugly yesterday

he was knocked unconscious by an Ipswich fan and hit his head on the pavement, he was kept in overnight due to a concussion but thankfully there was no serious damage and he was let out this morning
The group of about 40 ipswich fans on sloper road attacked a few cardiff fans and I ended up with a few stitches in my head from a few kicks whilst I was trying to stop them hitting my old man whilst he was out cold
Sadly the police were really slow to attend the scene was at least 10 minutes before they turned up,
Just glad nobody was seriously injured as it could of been a lot worse

Are you serious? Attacking a 70 year old, how low can you get ? Best wishes to your old man and hope he recovers quickly and fully.

Thank you mate he will be OK just pretty shook up,
was really sad the guy in question was being very abusive to everyone, my dad only said "come on mate no need to act like this because you lost" and the guy just smacked my dad and he was out cold before he hit the ground
Like I said I'm just thankful he's OK as when I heard his head hit the pavement I feared the worse

I've also seen a few Twitter posts trying to justify what happened claiming my dad was gobbing off and the lads involved were just teenagers and whilst there was a few younger lads in the group the majority were mid twenties upwards
And if gobbing off is a 70 year old fan confronting a group of pissed up guys who were abusing men women and children then yes my old man was gobbing off
Obviously everything is on cctv so the police will come to there own conclusion once they've viewd all the evidence available

I've just seen that footage and it must be what we saw when on the corner of Virgil St, it was in the distance and was over as soon as it started as the police were there.
I'm glad your dad's OK mate, that's the main thing and I hope the cowards who did this get a bit of payback one way or the other.

Gareth,
So Sorry to hear about your Father , I hope he is recovering well.
I absolutely detest cowardly attacks like this.
