Cardiff 3 Chelsea 3

Anyone else at that game? We were 3-0 up with five minutes to play and Chelsea managed to get a point.
Chelsea brought thousands to Ninian Park that day. In fact, I think it was the biggest away following I'd seen at NP.
I can remember seeing loads of fighting in town before the game, and a mass brawl on the football pitches opposite after the game.
I just looked at the attendance and it was 11,060. Seemed like a lot more than that to me.

Anyway, 37 years ago today... blimey!

yes , was outside the ninian Park pub and a Chelsea bus got its windows put through

I didn't enjoy the game at all

a poster on here , a right miserable git , was up in the block of the grandstand nearest to the away fans but Chelsea fans were in the enclosure and jumped up and surrounded them

I think its fair to say they were heavily outnumbered , gave a good account of themselves against the odds but in the end a surrender was the only option .

I was there. Ref bottled it that day, was never a penalty for their equaliser

I couldnt think who it was, but yeah, I remember the picture of his bruising.

I seem to remember a group of City lads being taken out of the Grandstand and escorted round the side of the pitch.

I came close to beating the 100m sprint record that day in Canton

I was in that small and pretty battered number. Choosing the Grandstand that day wasn't the wisest idea I've ever had.

Chelsea seemed to be in all four ends of NP. Wasn't it just half of the Grange End that was for away fans back then?

They were all over the place, that's for sure. While we were being led out of the Grandstand and around the pitch via the players' tunnel, we were getting attacked by Chelsea loonies in the enclosure. Pretty sure we also got pelted with coins by Chelsea fans in the Canton Stand.

I used to walk back into town to get the bus back to Cowbridge, but decided to take my chances and try and jump on in Canton that day. It seemed to be kicking off everywhere.

That was home fans in the canton stand

And it was golf balls

Aimed at you

And your shiny bonce

Saw this on YouTube the other day, surely that was an attendance fiddle...you couldn’t see the Bob bank obviously but no doubt there was a few on it

I thought the crowd was 13000

There was at least 5000 Chelsea fans there that day

Grange end , some in both enclosures , some in the the canton stand bordering the bob Bank, throwing missiles at the Lone gunmans mob

And about 50 on the bob Bank who got a leathering and were escorted to the Grange end to a heroes welcome
