What's the first scene of FV you have witnessed?

Mine was about 1980 when i seen a load of Jacks chasing and catching a few Watford down the vetch.I was sat in my old mans car as it all unfoulded and shitting myself from the safety of the old mans capri.

Can anyone remember yours?

I appreciate some will frown at this but I get the feeling some won't

Hereford away, must have been 15-16. I spray painted the toilet walls and the outside of the pub we were drinking in, then a few signs on the way to the ground. Little fucker I was.

Fighting around the main church loads of older lads. Great buzz in all honesty

Sorry must have been 16-17 as I was doing YTS in accountancy at Bessemer road for a company which also sprayed flowers etc hence the spray paint

I was about 15-16 when i got the bug for it.I was way out of my depth but just loved that buzz even back then.

That was the main away trouble, bits at Ninian park ut mostly away for me. Especially Lincoln and Hereford, went to Hereford a few times and it was murder at each one.

Come to think of it I had my first Swans tattoo at 15 and was in my school uniform having it done.All the blood soaked through my white shirt in the shape of SCFC so i was rumbled as soon as i got home.

Your not from Town Hill are you?

It was the same down here with Hereford and Shrewsbury.A couple of times they turned up announced and headed for the North Bank.Good set of lads both sides on their day.

west ham vs spurs, they were saying that the barmitzfah is the other way and then the spurs fan said that they've run soft since pete dunham took charge, so then they both got on to the same platform and had a fight

No mate.Port Talbot but exiled in Swansea for the last 11 years.

I'm joking by the way.
I work up on fforest fach occasionally. Always have good banter with my 6 fingered colleagues. I even bought the boss a pair of 6 fingered gloves. He didn't see the funny side but everyone else did.

They'll be accusing us of having some Cardiff Swansea love in.

We all haven't got 6 fingers contrary to popular belief. Now if you'd have said 7....

He He It's not always cat and dog on here mate.Occasionally there is a decent debate amongst certain posters including us Jacks.We're usually vocal when we're doing well but at the moment we aren't so I'm up for a reasoned discussion

We've all typed something which we know is likely to offend someone.

So what you reckon Cardiff out of it?

Nope not at all.There's confidence in your ranks at the moment and your last 3 displays you should have got something so the manager and players will be well up for the Liverpool game.I honestly think that game could go either way.Win that and your tails are up and will have no fear until the end of the season.Lose it and other results going against you and it might all be too little too late.

Obviously I would prefer to stay up and we are playing better football under OGS but I don't think I could handle fighting for survival each year. I much preferred the championship week in week out.

Wales V England at Ninian Park around 78 ish. Fighting in the corner by the Grange and Bob Bank and my old Man telling me watch the bloody game

Can remember my old man saying the same whilst it kicked off.I couldn't take my eyes off it though.

Wasn't allowed to go to derbies as a kid, so the first real scary night I remember at NP are Leeds in the cup & Stoke home in the playoffs after they scored an injury time winner. It kicked off in the first leg away from home too, if I remember rightly.

The most unexpected one was at Wales Germany a few years ago. Few Germans came into the home end looking for it and had a scuffle before climbing back up into the away end. Was only a friendly and was most unexpected.

Ccfc v Pompey in 83. I was 11. Never forget going to turnstiles with my dad. All the lads were in queue for under 18s and no one was in queue for adults. My old man said to some lad can my little boy get in. I got pushed through to front and paid my money. Met dad at other side. Was greeted by police battering a lad with truncheon etc. went up stairs and towards block b. looked out and there were wooden seats flying everywhere. Crapped my self.

Later that season Chelsea came to town and made the Pompey game look like trumpton fire drill

WHEN WE PLAYED MAN URE IN THE 70'S i Was outside the Old Asteys in the bus station found it all a big buzz was only 13

Hereford and Shrewsbury heading for the North Bank? You sure fingers?

Anyway, first experience, QPR 80/81 at home. My mate got arrested. Well known bloke, but I will never EVER divulge his name on here!

Edit: Sorry I thought you meant the first time involved. First time witnessed was Cardiff V Man Utd, and Wales v Yugoslavia.

we had history with Stoke,but not from the 1st leg of the play off.........it was bubbled ,all the way to Stoke,only 2000 tickets and an empty lower tier..the scarlets were playing some rugby final or semi the same day,our 40 coaches going up the motorway the same time, us on pop and crisps and them on stella and bow.

and when we got back to Cardiff..some fool had padlocked the car park with about 500 cars still inside it..lol

Merthyr v swansea 80 or 81 at penydarren park then Cardiff v pompey in the grandstand 1983

wales v england either 1978 or 79 ninian park i cannot quite remember


stoke at home was the worst around that time 1980 and barnsley away 1983 the worst ever !

Chelsea........Ninian Park early eightees. Had a ticket with my Dad and Grandfather via my cousin Ritchie Morgan.

Mum drove up sloper Road in our beige Austin Allegro estate (probably a prime target anyway!!) and got outside the away entrance only for a brick to smash the windscreen........shit myself but still went to the game. Then in the Grandstand towards the end of the game.......they were winning had to hide as we were showered with bricks/stones and any other loose debris they could get their hands on!

Mental days but somehow even at that age addictive!

Aston Villa at Ninian park 67/68 season, mental scenes as both sides fought for possession of the Grange end, city fans eventually coming out on top. Birmingham visited that season too and that was just as mental.

Football violence seemed to be a regular occurrence during the early 80s, especially by Ninian Park station. First recollection for me though was against Chelsea in 1980, I was in the Family Enclosure and I remember it kicking off in the Bob Bank by the Grange End, strangely the guy on the tannoy (probably Phil Suarez) put Green Onions by Booker T on when the match was still being played, think he put it on to try and calm things
Another memorable occurrence during that match was Ronnie Moore scoring, which was a rarity, we still lost 2-1 though.

August 1974 v Manure, I was just a kid but remember it was chaos.

If I'm remembering the same Wales v England game it was the one where someone got hold of an english flag and set it alight and then ran into the english fans with it ablaze.
