Quite hard to stay clear of it in the 80’s and 90’s to be honest
It was 1971
We had a late game vs the wurzels, had to get a train to Newport then a bus to Risca to get home.
Got on a train full of yokels...
No trouble.
Got jumped walking from Newport train station to the bus station.
How was it hard? I went through the 80s and 90s, home and away. I found it incredibly easy to steer clear of. It was easy to find if you wanted it.
Your a bit odd though
"aggro". Sums it up - screaming, shouting, running towards, running away from, looking for a fight but rarely getting into one. If there was any actual fighting it usually came about by accident when one poor sod got isolated and ended up having his head kick in as he lay on the floor. The other 95% of fans looked on in the same way you would if you saw two groups of baboons trying to mark out their territory - curious, but detached.
The childish mentality extended to the attempts to make it all sound so cool - naming this group, this 'firm', the boys from such and such place, respect for that firm but not another. Unfortunately it meant we all had to watch football through ugly large chainlink fencing for over 20 years, though it probably didn't bother those involved in the 'aggro'.
True, going to a football stadium, watching a football match then leaving is quite strange I guess.
You def didn’t follow us in the 80’s, you say you saw football?
Exactly.
