Way back in 1971, I thinkIt was skinhead era, but I was sporting long hair.
Evening game vs the wurzels .
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!)
