Yes.

This was crazy. Bristol were waiting outside the away end and were throwing stuff over the 10 ft wall. Something went wrong because the police came in on horses and were trampling people. A bloke in front of me on crutches hit a copper off his horse with a crutch and things got worse.
Next thing, the entire wall collapsed from our lot charging the wall and we were face to face with the Bristol nutters outside. Everyone charged out and there was fighting everywhere.
It sounds like a comedy sketch but at the time it was terrifying

I remember it well.
All their hoolies were in the upper tier of the stand to the left of us. They piled out about 5 mins before the end.
I also remember trying to get to our car after the match. A coppper said ‘We’ll push them back a few hundred yards then you’re on your own in the side streets”. Cheers mate.
Two of us walked into around 30 of them on a corner. One of them asked where we were from and neither of us replied. Luckily a voice from the back said “Leave em, we ain’t bullies”.
Then had to navigate past bricks being thrown from a bridge near the ground on our way home.

Think the year after they brought a huge mob and were on the Grange end. A few of our boys went up to the escort to have a go before the Bristol mob broke through the escort and kicked sh##t into one lad in particular who ended up literally under my car directly outside Ninian Park.
They certainly were bullies that day.

This was a top top away game, mad and mental, great away trip

A mad mad day.

Fair play to wurzels, they came out and waited and were right up for it .we smashed the gaff

When the way came down we charged them and he'll broke loose for a good few minutes. Across road and over by the trees

It was tasty before the game too
