However, I went to the Welsh Cup Final v Wrexham at the Vetch a few years later and the locals were waiting to pick off stragglers coming out of the ground. Fortunately, there were a lot of City there that night.
I’m 69, been going down since 1959, Splott Parker is about 66, he’s been going since about 1964 (I think), I’ll speak for him, when I say “it was never Abertawe Town we cared/worried about” .
It was always Bristol city we detested, especially after what happened over there after a certain event in 1966 (no, it’s not the World Cup)
Can’t be sure, but I can’t see how you were a travelling away fan in the 60’s, not to know that
