About 20 of us got in , with a few aberaman boys, Sparkey, dutty, and a few other nutters started singing Cardiff songs , a few rushes towards us but too shit to square up. Old bill on us like a rash, leading us through to the away end (how times have changed) think I caught some gypo virus with all the gob that was aimed at us

It never ceases to amaze me that we had and still have a large following in Neath and PT, particularly Neath! Can you imagine a few hundred jacks in Penarth or Barry! looks like they were a lively bunch too.....no wonder the older jacks hate us with a passion.

Caught up with them at that spot in 91, fair play about 10 stayed, the rest legged it. About 200 of us.

there must have been a few hundred in there that day but not all together or the same time , for 20 mins before KO it was a stream of small groups being escorted out after skirmishes..my father took me there in 68 Cardiff remained on there all game.

Went there in 75 welsh cup game week night about 50 of us took the short train journey from Llanelli, walked out of the train station and the old bill looked gobsmacked. Where the f**k Ave you lot come from the cardiff train ain't due for another 20 minutes.we were held for 10 mins and the train arrivedown out came 5 to 6 hundred cardiff ran through the streets of Swansea unopposed, good old aye.

I dont mean to be argumentative here but how is that picture showing someone trying to get into the north bank? That picture is about 100 metres behind the north bank turnstiles, so they would have to go through people then turnstiles, then through the back of the stand. Not just 1 but 20!!of you as stated by someone on here. Have you just put that title up yourself or is there actual evidence for this

That’s like me saying West Ham didn’t come on the Bob Bank in 1980, because there’s not a photo. But they did.

Speak to some of your older lads..

Tbf mate the op says ‘trying to get in’ and ‘about 20 got in’ so I assumed they went through the turnstiles.
Ps. I remember WHU at front of bob bank and the one man suicide mission from them in the middle of the Bob bank too.

Yes, think it was a Friday night game.. also Chelsea in 1978 came on..

...about 15 of them by burger van. Stood toe to toe against first rush of city fans, jumped over the wall when the second surge came. Remember it well.

The fighting I recall was bang in the middle, almost under the tv gantry..

I’m sure it was 78/79 fighting in corner of Bob. One of their main faces was there - can’t remember his name though.

West Ham were all black guys if I recall .. maybe Pennant and his lot. They were still fighting on the fence as they were getting carried out lol..

Yup down front of BB. There was also a single skinhead calling everyone on in the middle of the BB. Got absolutely hammered.

I remember that by the Burger van now..forgotten after all these years. The row in the middle of the BB must have been the 79 game, can still see in my mind Dai H right at it...

What an adrenaline rush all that was..
