Definitely guilty as charged. But that one never made it to court.

The fact is it doesn't matter how sensible or level-headed you were, if you were attending Cardiff City games in the Seventies, Eighties, Nineties and early-Noughties, you'd no doubt have witnessed people being arrested at football matches. A great many were and at very many matches for a whole host of reasons ranging from despicable acts of hooliganism to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm guessing in your opening post you were merely trying to present yourself in your regulation sanctimonious, holier-than-thou light, and what you actually meant to say was: "Quite why anyone would want to get themselves arrested at a football match is beyond me."

Remember the incident at Hull a few seasons back Dave when poor old ‘5 stone, soaking wet’ Owain was physically assaulted then nicked by some meathead sergeant. Even the the young constables were stunned by their superior’s actions.

His ‘crime’ was swearing when a goal kick was given against the City when the ball had obviously hit Rosenior (?) before it went out of play. Swearing in the heat of the moment at a football match is obviously a major offence on Humberside. The ‘sit down’ protest in front of the coaches worked and Owain was returned to the fold.

He did phone me during the week after to thank everyone, apparently his job would have gone up the Swanee had he been charged, he was a social worker working with kids or something.

Remember it well, Steve.

Bobby wouldn't have approved.

:hehe:

Got involved in a spot of fighting away at Bristol Rovers when I was younger, and impressionable.
Got bundled into the back of a meat wagon with some other scary older looking individuals
Copper was just about to slam the door shut, when he looked right at me. Must have seen I was shitting myself.
Pulled me out and asked my age. I muttered 15. He said. Get the **** of home, and don’t get involved in this shite again.
I departed the scene toot sweet, but didn’t get back to Ely till about midnight.
I took heed of his advice and signed my release forms from the soul crew.😁
Behaved myself ever since.

Im sure there was one away game (maybe QPR?) where the coach driver was arrested for fighting. Not ideal for his 50 passengers who were left stranded.

a few times in my yoof, earliest was Bristol City at home in 1989, acting up on Ninian Park Road as both sets of fans headed back to town and was arrested and thrown in a van at Central Station, joined shortly after by my now deceased friend Robert Hicks (Hicksy) bless his soul..

arrested, banged up at Central Police Station until around 10pm and then released with a caution because of my age, I was 15 at that time.

nothing to be proud of but you asked so..

Wrong guy. The Bobby Hicks I knew lived in the Mecca (Ely) 👍

A very good mate of mine got involved with the Soul Crew many yrs ago. He got involved in some right nonsense.
I remember asking him how he got uninvolved.He told me they were playing away one Saturday and he got on a train at Cardiff Central with the rest of the cast, and had a light bulb moment.
He said he sat there, and thought to himself, what the fu*k am I doing, going up to fight with some Yorkshire guy who I’ve never met and am unlikely to ever see again.
He made his excuses, and got off the train. After that, not only did he never get involved in the trouble again, he’s never been to a City game since.
He now holds down a very important and responsible job.

I remember hicksy from st mellons way?

None, came close a few times, had a bit of a gift of the gab, and talked my way out of a few.

Nicked once, not charged. I was innocent and was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well sort of !!!

You didn't get nicked in those decades for going to a match. You got nicked for being an arse hole
