The Bargoed Mafia

As the train woud pulled into the brad, youd be looking out the window to see if he was on the platform, praying hed gone earlier or later, as yould know it would kick off! At Caerphilly if thier mob got on as well.

They used to fight on the platform on the way home at Caerphilly, as if the train was packed thats the only time the "boys" could find each other, plus they had to walk over the track, above obviously, so they used to have it out all the way to the down platform.

Great reading this lads, I remember whilst in comprehensive school during the 80's there was regular fighting between the local comprehensive schools in the area, Blackwood v Pontllanfraith, Newbridge v Oakdale etc, fighting in Blackwood bus station and the old fairview school and Britannia, All a bit mental todays youngsters now play on the ps3 and drink the alcho pops. Blackwood seems to be dying a death Porters now closed, Ta still boarded up and rumours George and Foresters will be gone soon. Bargoed is still punch happy and lots of fights theres amongst the locals.

There were occasions where the OB would be waiting at Ystrad M train station on told to get off, and had to get the bus to Bargoed lol

Llanbradach, between Caerphilly & Ystrad Mynach. A village with a historic fair share of "nutters"!

cheers guys,makes sense now...

I remember as a kid the train was pulling into Ystrad Mynach and someone pulled the emergency cord. The train stopped short of the train station and everyone was jumping out of the train doors and fighting on the side of the train track.

Everyone was saying that the Bargoed Mafia v the Hengoed SS.

Mad days where every town had a gang, but I think Cardiff City eventually united all the gangs under one umbrella.
