[Football] Cardiff v Swansea BUFFOONERY

[kjgood]

Surely the correct answer to this is for Swansea FC to arrange an official coach to tour around Cardiff and pick up the stray fans...?

Hmmm a coachload of Swansea fans driving around places like Ely (For those who know Cardiff) might as well paint a huge target on the side of the bus.

I remember going there for an Albion game way back - went with a couple of my mates who are Cardiff fans. Even going into one of their social clubs there was no aggro until we got outside the ground when a coach full of pensioners pulled up at the lights. The coach happened to come from Neath which was West enough for all the Cardiff fans to surround it and start rocking it chanting "You Jack ********" at ear splitting volume. I went into the away end, obviously, and was slightly disconcerted by the home fans sharing the same tea point as us. Good old Ninian - the steam from the outside urinals on a cold day was something to behold !

Cardiff have been in their new stadium for ten years now, and been awarded the best family experience prize.
The supporters coach & car park are fenced off from home fans.
The old Ninian Park was decrepit and hostile, but even then there were bars, and metal mesh guards around the away fans, to prevent coins being thrown. The coach was safe enough. I think it was the last game there, the stadium announcer saw fit to play every ‘gay’ track he could, including Dancing Queen etc. It was a Lesgue cup game.

did you have a boogie around your hand bag ?

Visiting my Taffy friends a few years back remember going out to a restaurant near posh Llandaff a mile or so north of the ground after one of their Derby matches. A Swansea minibus was stopped in the road with most it's windows broken and 10 or so Swansea fans standing outside it with a few gashed, bleeding heads.

I'm sure any Swansea fan living in Cardiff could "accidentally" miss the coach back to Swansea after the match. Absolutely ridiculous.

But not if you've had to drive, and your car is still in Swansea...

It is clearly ridiculous that Swansea fans living in Cardiff need to travel to Swansea and back in order to see the game. There's no other conversation to be had about it - there's no justification, no excuse, no fair reasoning for it. It's overkill in the extreme.

Football needs to remind itself it's a game, it shouldn't be an opportunity for a tribal dust up and it shouldn't require coppers to wear body armour, horses to wade into the middle of any scuffles and people to travel hours out of their way in order to return to where they came from in order to attend the game. Ridiculous state of affairs.

Yes, all very true but tell that to couple of hundred on either side determined to cause mayhem. Sadly they cause such huge problems, out of all proportion to their numbers, that on occasion draconian measures are necessary.
