Been quite abit of trouble over the years. Not too much in Cardiff although i remember a couple of Wolves visiting the Bob Bank in 85 and they celebrated a goal and were forcibly evicted.

I went to Wolves in 2003 with my eldest who was 7 at the time and the police let us out at same time as Wolves. There must have been a couple of 100 on each side scrapping on hill outside ground. Went on for ages.

Wasn't it Wolves where a police car was bounced on its roof?

We seemed to go up and down the leagues with Wolves during the 80's and early 90's. Went there 4 times and it was always a bit lively. Anyone remember that pub just up the road from the train station?

my experience Feb 1988 away was very dodgy when we won 4-1

quite a few nasty incidents before and after that game and city fan got rushed to hospital after the game

pretty sure times have moved on now so shouldn't be too much of a problem this time around

I remember the first year up there 2003/4 i think, there was a double spread page in the echo with about 20 Cardiff to be nicked, Cardiff had about 500 lads up there and it went of all day. A police dog was also stabbed (im not sure if it was city or wolves)

The next year then was when it went off under the ground and in the stand, all about beer, very heavy handed policing and then it just went nuts, only one city fan has actually been charged over that, they knew they were in the wrong and couldnt release most of the cctv i would imagne.

Then the next year i think it was we were banned!

the first year we got promoted to the championship, when we came out of the turnstyles there were hundreds of them waiting up the hill/embankment surrounding us, women and children to the back then all hell broke loose, remember the wolves fan falling down the hill into the cardiff fans and took a kicking, police car rolled down the hill, fighting with police

was a mad day end to the game to be fair :ayatollah:

That Wolves fan was me :D

We'd just had a bit of shenanigans and decided to do one when the yellow-coats
arrived with truncheons. I jumped over a little bush and i can only assume that the
Cardiff still coming out thought I was a suicide Wolves fan :lol: :lol:

It stung!!

I can just remember Ginger J (RIP) shouting ''he's one of ours he's one of ours'' and
it stopped. I got ripped to bits then, we were all laughing like f**k even though I
was proper sore. Then some Valley maniac with a shiner wanted to give me some
more cos id caught him with a left hook :lol: :lol: :lol: What a day :D :D

It was the little grass bank outside away end. I sort of jumped over a bush to get back to our lot and
just had boots and fists raining down on me :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had a bootmark on my back and the following week we were in Wetherspoon and
a certain loon from Ely was inspecting the soles of peoples shoes to find a match....

Then the tw*t said "there's a reward!!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
