I remember an away day at Hereford, 1000s Cardiff fans there, loads couldnt get in, LEN ASHURST came onto pitch calm city fans down. Was anyone else there, that day... think it was a Draw. Can remember, police dogs in away ebd. And fans throwing barriers onto pitch....
Glad weve moved on from those days...!

Me and my 2 brothers got chased by our own fans when they caught us we belloew out we are Cardiff and there was handshakes all round :lol: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :malky: Oh and one of our fans Kung Fu kicked a police dog too :laughing6:

More like 81-82 Midweek game. Can't remember the score may have been a Welsh Cup Match.

Thanks for that. It was a midweek game I remember waiting for the Mountain Ash private hire coach to pick me up on the roundabout at Rassau after work. Was mayhem there that night. Can remember the police being attacked with hoardings and Police dogs being kicked. I can remember the report of a police dog being killed. Was it a Welsh Cup Match?

I remember a match in the 80's mid week welsh cup tie that was a bit mad, made the welsh news for the wrong reasons.
