Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
The buzz (?) at away games in the 90s was great. Not read every message but from earlier days with my dad I always liked “If you like a lot of aggro at your football join our club”.

Most were kids. Very few actually got involved. Unless there was a dozen with them.

Middle class kids from Pontcanna and Radyr were they? LOL
Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
Docks were number one
They certainly wernt from cyncoed
Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
Docks, Ely, Llanrumney, Grangetown.etc
Outside of Cardiff you had lunatics from Barry, Bridgend, Neath, Caerphilly from all over the valleys Rhondda, Merthyr.etc
Middle class kids they were not.
When Aberdeen played Barry in Europe in the mid 90s some poor fella from Scotland got smashed in the head with a hammer I recall.
Thankfully those days are long gone but to claim it was all a bunch of middle class kids is most absurd.
Re: Who used to enjoy the aggro?
I do pity guys in their 40s/50s even 60s still clinging onto those times though. It all looks rather pathetic now. Still arguing over who done who in 1986 and still wearing bright sportswear. There’s a fella goes to watch Merthyr he’s about 50 and he still wears a dear stalker ffs with bright ellesse tracksuit top and orange trainers :hehe: He looks like Timmy Mallet on acid. Like comedy mods still with that ridiculous haircut in their 50s.
Just grow old gracefully you *****.
At the end of the day it’s a YOUTH sub culture, let the kids get on with it. Its a right of passage acting a dick at the football. Most grow out of it.

They were but there were also plenty from other areas who would do battle with them in town on nights out. The docks lot were different, they didn’t pick on just anyone or small numbers as the clueless say on this thread, in fact I’d say they’d enjoy being outnumbered and going for it anyway. I’ve seen them chase off groups with twice the numbers on plenty of occasions.
JR is right about areas outside if cardiff too, Barry in particular seemed to have loads of nutters in the 80’s and some really rough pubs.

Exactly, kids youths will always be up to something, although being mid 40’s I honestly cannot tell you what the latest craze is.
Remember looking at that now famous footage of Chelsea and us in kings rd in 2010 was it, some if the Chelsea lot looked all in there 50’s...ffs...what a bunch of cnuts at that age. Deserved to go to jail just for not evolving in life.

I saw a few years ago some Chelsea and Spurs fans got sent down for trouble and they were all in their 40s and 50s. One guy was 61 ffs!!!
