Bubble Trip

[Smurph]

Which is no different to nearly every other derby game up and down the country.

People can't seem to grasp that.

What people you referring too? Seems obvious the police are calling the shots. Vast majority want it lifted, but the fact remains there will be bother, something you clearly can't grasp.

Include yourself if you like.

 

[NEATH JACK 8]

Lift it and there will be mayhem. From Cardiff to Port Talbot to Neath and, finally, Swansea. The old school will be out in numbers, particularly Cardiff. The youngsters will be up for it as they've never experienced it. It will cost thousands more for the Police having to be deployed all down the M4 and places like Neath. I remember in 94, coming back on train to Neath and getting off to end up in confrontation with Cardiff (in considerable numbers I may add). I'm not even going to go on about the other days and nights of mayhem between 84 and 94 I witnessed and took part in. Some people move on/grow up, a lot don't. Personally I think it will be more like that than the aforementioned walking through Bristol, which I've done and was surprised there was no incident.

There's no incident walking through Bristol due to the heavy police presence and the planned route they march fans to and from.

Don’t know who you are but I was 17 in 1990 and our lot used to have run ins with them week in week out, never mind on derby days and weekends.

Get the bubble lifted and we get on with it.

Watch the percentage of the divide in Neath/Port Talbot nowadays?

No idea to be honest Jax. Always felt like PT was blue when I was a teenager, our years in the Prem got all the kids supporting us.

Neath has always been Swansea, with little enclaves of Blue, such as Caewern.

I remember getting chased by a group of Birmingham fans up Argyle Street during those days. A load of them got out of a van and chased after us.

Remember the home game against Stoke when a skip was emptied outside the North Bank after the final whistle.

Millwall was also quite lively upon times. The list is endless.

I'd argue with that a bit. In the mid 80s to early 90s there only seemed to be a few Neath Jacks. The Scum, who were older, were a much bigger presence. Caewern had a big lot and the local Neath Valleys. Over the years Neath has been practically taken over by Swansea. Awkward to talk about PT as their main crew was the laughable PVM who were useless and shithouses so imagine that the Cardiff allegiance has died down over the years.
A fair few Skewen boys jumped ship from us to them late 80s too and still follow them.
Therefore, Neath would be mayhem before the game with the aforementioned turning out and it was always a favourite stop for their mob on route to the game.

Not having that at all. The caewern lot weren’t on the scene until the late 80’s and the PT lot were far from shithouses, especially when they were all together they had some who could more than hold their hands up, Tino, Marcus, Anton, Clunis to name just a few. I will agree that there didn’t seem to be many Neath Jacks, which looked worse in midweek games on the trains, seemed only to be the lot that I knocked about with, but Neath has always been black and white.
