the national front

last friday i watched a sky arts documentary on "rock against racism" i've heard that spurs, chelsea, west ham, blackburn and burnley had a large national front following back on the late 1970s and early 1980s....did cardiff or swansea?

Cardiff have never been and proud we have never been associated with anything like that

Swansea yes

Can't speak for the Jacks but Cardiff certainly did not have a following or any association with the NF in the 70s or 80s.

there support mainly came from the big London clubs such as West Ham but it must be said it was a very small minority from those clubs. It was not worth the mention but you know what the media are like.

I’ve heard NF songs and racism from the stands in the past mostly at away games but I’ve heard it get stamped on pretty quickly thankfully.

Remember being in the away end at the Valley in the 70's and two skinheads were trying to sell Bulldog which was the National Fronts magazine. They were told where to get off in no uncertain terms by our meagre away following that day.

Chelsea in particular and also had a strong association with combat18...i think the headhunters were even using the combat 18 logo...

Well said,I marched against the nf,a few times in th he late70's,on one we were marching from swansea to cardiff,and were put up in a church along the route,a gang of nf "supporters" decided to try and storm the church,failed miserably!! Then at 4 am a barrage of bricks and shit came crashing through the stained glass windows!! We got re dressed,but they all f@cked of in a transit! Scum!@

i distinctly remember the season after the pompey clock in a much smaller turnout two lads hung a union Jack with something on it and instantly there was a small altercation and the flag was set on alight.

If they did that these days there'd be a fair few on here sticking up for them and attacking anyone who disagrees with them as being "Woke"

I assumed it was because of the Union Flag rather than NF. When I was younger you'd always see loads of "Swansea City" on Union Jacks as you would the wurzels or any other club except Nuport & Wrexham.

I always thought it was something maritime, Swansea Jack, Union Jack that was the connection or was it more sinister?
When you see them nowadays predominately Welsh flags but still some union flags. Is there still a following ?

Definitely not.

Proud to say I have never seen any of that shit in my City days.

You would be jumping in as well if you lived in Swansea!

It's a well known fact,jacks cannot drown,as their webbed feet and six fingered hands are made for water (pond scum )

No there wouldn’t, that’s a disgusting thing to say about City Fans.

Jock, a quick look at bill22322's 16 posts to date will reveal that so far he/she has only commented on one single footballing topic the rest are very weak attempts to create or comment on political issues he/she has no real appreciation of. Clearly on here for nefarious purposes

City fans were never 'Saints' back in the day but they could and would hold their own without the need to cling to a political ideal like the abhorrent National Front as an excuse

I’ve never seen City Fans supporting the NF either inside or outside the ground.
On Rangers boards you get retarded Celtic fans (Timposters) posting poisonous shite to blacken our name. I sometimes wonder if Jacktards do the same on here.

Some swans fans...

That’s not representative of the wider Jack support, they’ve picked out the best looking ones for that pic.

That actually makes me feel sad.

Ages on some of them kids, the older blokes should be f*cking ashamed of themselves especially

City fans did Nazi salutes and sang GSTQ on the Bob Bank late 70s.. I remember it quite a few times

So do I (Remember it), unfortunately,,, but only on one occasion.

Nice to see they've included 'Fatty' before he fell off that ladder; the f**kin' t**t!

And the young one in the black shirt looks like he's showing how tall his brother is...!

Honestly, JB's or whoever that picture is a sad indication of the mess we live in.


Wonder who laced that fat bastards boots up as there's no way he could bend to do them!!

I do too. I remember travelling away on a coach going through a traffic jam around the midlands and a number of skinhead ‘fans’ held their arms out (nazi salute) and sang GSTQ. Pointed towards Asian family in a car.
I also remember it on Bob bank (very late 70s - very early 80s). It was all around the time of Combat 18 being in papers like The Sun attaching themselves to Chelsea in particular.
I also remember a black player playing up front for Chelsea (Paul Canoville) getting sickening abuse from the city fans, only for the Chelsea fans to cheer and clap the city fans.
Thankfully it didn’t last long, perhaps one season, but it did happen.

Wales, in general has always been highly resistant to national front ideas and general racist plonkers. As always and especially where football is concerned every club will have a small gang of idiots. I believe Oswald Mosley didn't get on well at Cardiff when he visited tp preach hate, and when he spoke at Swansea it erupted into violence and he was actually chased out.
We all love a bit of banter and a scrap now and then here in Wales but we don't really do it based on ethnicity, usually it's done because someone is being a total c**t.

I seem to recall someone throwing a banana at Alex Williams as well.. possibly from the Canton

Some swans fans...

How many of them in MENSA?
