' What really happened Cardiff / Newport Trouble '

The video that went out last Saturday & pics only tell half the story:


I was shocked and i was upset as most Newport & Cardiff have moved on from the 80's & 90's and mostly now have banter and even meet up for a drink and chat about the old days.

Yes there is a new culture of youngsters that have started up, it seems with every football club in the leagues this has happened, maybe being due to 2yrs of No football due to covid, but most is just singing / mouthing and banter. Trouble does seem to be on the increase, but to be fair Not at the CCS and probable not even 5% of what happened in the 80's.


I had a long chat with a good old friend from the 80's Ian Grant, one of County's main lads and was always there and says it as it really happened.

He knows all the Newport younger ones that were their last Saturday and has spoken to a couple of Cardiff, like i have.


At Newport train station about 100 County lads (mostly younger) boarded the train to Swindon, already on board were about 30 young Cardiff, mostly not lads. Their was some banter back and for.
There was only 2 Transport police on board and not once was there any fighting on an hour long journey to Swindon, County could of attacked Cardiff but never and it never looked like ever happening or any sight of trouble.

As the train pulled in to Swindon, County got off. A couple of young Cardiff (I stress only a couple) started throwing bottles at County who had left the train, that then changed it all.
The video then starts and shows County then trying to get at Cardiff, if they had wanted to, that could of happened on the hour long journey.

Thankfully No one got attacked or hurt and hopefully we all move on.

Yes their is rivalry & banter still, but Nothing and i mean nothing compares to the 80's, where everyone I know from both sides have moved on

Disappointing to hear it was our lot starting it cowardly as well to throw bottles at someone’s back as they’re getting off the train. Wonder if there’s any cross over with the group of “hard guys” that smashed up the toilets at Bristol. I’ve not heard about anyone being identified for that yet, unless I missed it?

May explain a certain offensive and excessive 'rant' from the wannabe 'Peaky Blinder' (aged 18 1/4) who seemed concerned (quote) "Me n me boys could be fined and banned again..."

Nothing (thankfully) on the train and the 'bottlers' should be ashamed of themselves...

Yes it does Chris,

That pretend Harry on here, who was panicking , he must of been one of the cowardly youngsters who threw stuff at them as soon as they got off the train.

Well that clears that up and as they say there is always two sides of a story.
Now let’s move in and get back to football , Bluebirds

The last thing we want/need is an escalation of trouble and Annis and the Newport link being open and honest and reporting the facts are a good way of keeping a lid on it

Disappointed that it was a very small (amongst a mainly good) group of our youngsters that started the throwing from inside the train and we need to ensure this is not the future

I work with Ian Grant, he’s a top man! Even though I was supporting City from 79, I was never involved in the off field stuff, but love hearing Granty’s stories. I know he hates Cardiff, but I got a lot of respect for the bloke.

Yes so have I and like me we still love the rivalry, but we have moved on from those days and can have some great chats about the old days.

Cewnty fan here that's pretty much what i heard
i went up on the benson bus but heard that account

Let's move on UTC x

They lost today which hopefully means they wont even make the play offs and 'Granty' and the boys who going from the quotes on this thread 'hate Cardiff' can go and f**k themselves
