It was no suprise there was a bit if pushing. Many just wanted to get on the coaches just a few feet away. Mismanaged (?) by WMP to the point that it looked like a situation was deliberately being set up to allow for a bit of a taffy-bashing. Indeed, years ago, I worked with an ex WMP officer who was candid in saying that they would go out of their way to wind up the Welsh at matches. Our fault...nope.
There was nothing stopping our fans from standing on flat ground, in the light under the stand.
