I lived in Risca at the time; easiest way back was train to Newport, then bus home.
Went to Newport in a train full of carrot-crunchers! but no problems.
Walking from Newport train station to bus station, I got jumped by 3 skinheads, while their girlfriends looked on, fought them off a bit but t hey got some kicks in.
Not really sure if it was because of my hair or my city scarf (which they didn't get!)
I was in the middle of a train of York fans once after going over to Rochdale to watch their game when we were both challenging for promotion in the early nineties , got talking to a few of em who were ok but some of the others found out I was a Cardiff fan and wanted to kick my head in , luckily two transport police came into our carriage and yet again my life was saved
