VICTORY IN SWANSEA DAY

Today is another remembrance day. 16.11.91. Twenty years ago today, the finest terrace soldiers that Cardiff have ever had, defeated the evil and scruffy forces of the Swansea Jack battalions. The locals were hit with so many pincer movements they tragically lost track of what day it was. There will be a 2 minute silence at 6pm on every corner of The Kingsway, Swansea in remembrance of those gallant tramps who lost their reputations. Never forget VS day(Victory in Swansea)

A great day

i went missing in action that day while seeing off a half arsed jack counter attack

some mad things happened that day
i have never seen so many ccfc so up for it and focused
i think a lot of us were so pissed off with the swim away we wanted to sort them out once and for all

they remember swim away but cant remember all the other times we took the piss including canton and 91

Well done brave boys, you must all be so proud.

By the way, 2-1 Jimmy Gilligan sliding on his knees to the North Bank after scoring the winner.

You got seen off all day. End of story, but we dont have songs about it. Your
not that important.

Yet a mob of yours chase a handful of Cardiff into the water and your
whole world resolves around it

What's 91 ?

correct on all counts taffy

its 2011 chaps get a grip its not the 80's anymore

its 2011 chaps get a grip its not the 80's anymore

It was the atmosphere created by 'people like us' that saw Cardiff City defeat
Premiership leaders Leeds at Ninian Park.

If we were a lowly division side playing a Premiership giant in the CCS we would
get beat 8-0

...oh and no arrests that day against Leeds, just passionate, vociferous fans that
shit half the Leeds team up

its 2011 chaps get a grip its not the 80's anymore

the game was 1991 fella
in the 80's ccfc used to go on the north bank as well

we are just chatting about the old days no harm in that

Is this the time when the only real time the two mobs come face to face is when your lot were bumming around the kings,,ie a gay bar, and got kucked and battered allover the place??surely you must be talking of a diffrent time....
ffs stop talking shit as you are starting to believe it,,,

Great post mate! And spot on pridey boy! And you taffy apple mate. Gimme those days back anyday! Hate the new breed of "fan" who doesn't like talking bout hooliganism. It was all that talk which got me into football in the first place! Ccs is shit. Crap atmosphere. Family club of the year... Feck off!

Ahh Yes. What a day. V J day.
Remember it well - will have to put the date in my calender! Perhaps we can lay a wreath for the Jacks on the 25th annivesary, instead of wearing a poppy for this one we could wear a stingy nettle as they got stung!!!!

We should counter the swim away bollox - maybe a banner with 91 plus a song......

Those were the days my son,
Back then in 91
We battered Jacks
And ran them everywhere.
We fought into the night
Were fukin dynamite
We lost 2 1, but did we fuckin care
La La La... La. La. La.

Keep hanging onto that liferaft feller. You Tube showed a mob of jacks
outside a boozer

No You Tube footage of the Cardiff mob that day cos they hadnt invented
widescreen back then, and we filled the screen, filled your streets... and
would have filled the North Bank if the coppers hadnt sussed us all out

Fella,was around all day,and you didn't do much if you realy honest,allso was on the kingsway when you say you were rampant? Did run a small mob of jacks,but if you call that a victory then sory mate you are easily pleased,and yes you had several hundred ther,but let's not forget it was train special,all heading back to the station,and alltho you had lads at the front,the middle to the back were every day folk,even young girls ther,my self and a mate were walking among them.so please let's not get taken back by it as like I said the only real time two decent mobs met was when you were layed out on the road all over middle high st,,ps,if a special from swansea were left to walk around cardiff 800,I believe the specials took,then a lot more problems would happen,at the end of the day the ob let you make your own way ther as they were more concerned about us down the sandfields and mumbles rd,,

that was just one mob. i was in another 700 strong and they came on buses and vans. i can honestly say although i did see a mob of jacks try to make a stand they were aweful and so were swansea's resistance all day i saw one pub full of jacks close their doors and knock the lights off all spying out of the windows..

S69, in fairness I think your recollection of the day is wholly innacurate. The two mobs Cardiff took around the town did not contain any non combatants. They were not escorts being taken back to the train. The buses were there to take everyone back to the station as was the norm but the word was passed around to swerve them by telling ob that you had driven up. The buses contained the law abiders and you attacked them. There were numerous skirmishes that day as we walked around your town (not simply back to the train) as groups of jacks tried in vain to defend their patch but quite simply no-one would have touched Cardiff that day (no shame to you). I'm not entirely where this main mob of yours was anyway as when we marched up Oystermouth Road it was nowhere to be seen.

Anyway, its a long time past and I suppose at your age the memory fades......

Such a long time ago....but what I remember about that day Cardiff were in the Kings Arms and stayed inside when they were invited to come out by Swansea (youtube) ,some hand bags in the centre stand (youtube) ,after the game Cardiff fans walking about like some hooligan gang from the 1970's totally unorganised....and we knocked you out of the F.A Cup you 2-1thats about it?

kings arms wasnt that early doors? the best excuse ive heard about that day was > yes you charged through the town unchallenged and done a few small groups of swans after the game but we had huge numbers waiting in the GARI for you

The look on the face of the driver of a double decker bus as he went around the Kingsway - with half the windows kicked out, and full of City fans, will live with me for ever

the jacks were not lying there were loads of jack in the gari......... the fuckers were fighting each other to get in there when we came out of oxford street (i think i got the name right)

I think us jacks have to be honest with ourselves here and admit we were totally stuffed that day due to sheer numbers. Yes we had our moments because in fairness we were a game bunch in those days and always formidable at home. But sometimes you have to hold your hands up and say fair play you did us. In fairness to the cardiff lads they do, ie: the time they came around the back of the North Bank to have us on the way out only to end up being kicked and chased all the way to high st station Many of them give us credit for that why cant we do the same? Sometimes you win sometimes you lose that was the name of the game!

Got to call it as it is sir. I can pride myself on the fact I've never turned my back on a Cardiff fan..........Though I have paid for it on occasions! Likewise I remember an incident outside the guildhall one Easter Monday when we caught a mob of you totally unawares, no police 300 of us 50 of you. Unfortunately one guy stayed, I was in the front and did what had to be done, but I made sure sure no one else touched him. Top respect to that guy whoever he was!

It's like the land that time forgot on here sometimes

It was only very recently that you lost one of your own through an act of violence yet here you are , unsurprisingly reminiscing about "the good old days" when hooliganism was abundant and revelling in it.

Take a f*cking look at yourselves is it. It's not the 70's/80's/90's any more, no matter how many books are written about it.
