Who used to enjoy the aggro?

[WJ99mobile]

I used to enjoy watching people having Agro. Never wanted to be a part of it

[Majorblue]

Not for me.
As I went through the 70’s &80’s it was very much a part of the match day experience ,away from home especially.
Aside from a few occasions, it was generally avoidable but being a gentle old soul I would have preferred not to have had to take avoiding action.
Then again, sometimes, it was the main topic of conversation coming back from some away trips.

[Bobby Dandruff]

I did, I loved it.
The overall buzz was usually better than the actual match for me.
Frowned upon now of course...but I’m not ashamed of it.

I have probably been to thousands of games now and never ever got involved or dragged into it, and never had any interest in doing so.

Are you Wayne nash by any chance?

[Jordi Culé]

Are you Wayne nash by any chance?

Wayne Nash allegedly didn’t always avoided getting into trouble but a few in Ebbw Vale have commented he was adept at getting himself out of it although he may have thrown a few into the shit before his exit?

Who knows?

[Bobby Dandruff]

Are you Wayne nash by any chance?

Sorry, I have no idea who he is.

[Bluebirdman Of Alcathays]

I'm still as baffled about the whole idea as I always was. Having to be wary of how you travel to a game, or wearing colours, or going in the wrong pub, or having to get up at 6am to travel on a designated bus to a town 40 miles away for a game that won't kick off for 6 hours is bizarre. And it's all done because a few people might like to punch you in the face.

I have to agree with DML, it was disgraceful, it dragged the bad name of cardiff city through the dirt
when you went away, you knew that every local headcase was out to get you

It was a bloody great time though not a single regret about it, ive said it before, it all came together at the right time for me, i was old enough to enjoy it but young enough to have the excuse of my age

Must have bumped into you many times Matt in those days, think I jumped ship about the right time, aways were just getting more hassle than fun. Besides, when you go to raves and don’t get home until midday even home games are tricky nevermind aways!

we must have either the footy or raves, we appear to have been at it at almost exactly the same time

[Blooburd]

Don't like the thread? Don't post now piss offski

[The Bloop]

Saw a bit from a distance but never got involved, or wanted to for that matter.
Some of the clothing choices were a bit dodgy aswell.

[Wash DC Blue]

I posted a message saying I don't miss the agro at all, but you post something and I find myself siding with those who do . I'm assuming you're on the wind up, but can I ask when and where you "saw innocent women, children and old people trampled upon and beaten up"?

In all fairness there was some horrible barstards around that were just bullies, picking on scarfers.
I really felt for this one Youngish lad, Oxford fan had parked by Sloper Rd...probably had just passed his driving test by the looks of him.

Some knob punched the drivers window in because he had an Oxford Shirt on and then punched him in the side of his head.

Another time when a Boro Scarfer had the living Shit beaten out of him opposite the Grandstand at the FA Cup game.

Most people definitely had no time for that and in both cases myself and my mates aided the fans that were bashed up.

A famous old cardiff nutter gave a bristol rovers fan who was on his own walking back to the station a right hammering opposite the ninian park pub , by jeff white motors

He punched him from behind then kicked him several times in the head then ran off when the mounted police arrived


Cowardly bastard

I first started going to Ninian Park on more than an ad hoc basis in the 1999/2000 season. Started going down with a guy who I thought was a City nut. He used to talk passionately about being a City fan. Sometime during the season he stopped going. He said it wasn't fun any more.

Soon enough he told me that he used to go to games for the violence. Nothing else. He'd hardly seen a game in years, but went with me a few times. He knew nothing about the players on the pitch. Talking to him about the history of the club was a bit like "Man City, yeah, remember getting stuck into some of their fans". His knowledge of the club was pretty dire when probed but he could tell stories of glories and being seriously beaten up.

For about 6 months he used to pay me decent money to act as a taxi for him. He used to wander around the mountains after dark shooting animals. Also once told me he was delighted his 14 year old daughter could shag like a bunny. Very odd and deranged individual.

Horrible.
Never had any time for that kind of behavior.

I hope that you alerted the relevant authorities 😳

[Eric the Half a Bee]

He was well known to them. Had all the relevant gun licenses etc. Weird sort though.

[Rock_Flock_of_Five]

I don't think Wash DC Blue was talking about this fella's night-time shooting activities..

[Eric the Half a Bee]

He wasn't shagging his daughter, just knew she was doing it.

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

loved a pitch invasion...for a goal and for aggro...

[Rjk]

I had friends in school who were deeply intoxicated with that side of things and for a while at about age 13 or 14 I guess it seemed like it would be kind of exciting.
Then said friends started to come out with really horrible racism which completely put me off them and by extension anything the were insterested in (no idea if the "aggro" was really where the racist shit was coming from, but it seemed like it at the time. Not for a second implying that anyone on here who was into it was a racist btw).

[Croesy Blue]

Each to their own I suppose, but I've never been able to get my head around how this is something people enjoy.

Sure, you can say that about a lot of things, like horse racing and motor racing for starters, anything on itv....the list is endless.
When I started going in 1987 I thought that all our fans were nuts and hooligan casuals etc....then I went to an away game and I x it by 100. I literally can’t recall the last away game I went to....maybe 2002, Wembley aside.
