    No, but I've been in town when the police had to close all the shops due to marauding dickheads.

    To be honest, both sets of supporters are embarrassing morons. Pissed up thick ****s wearing fake gear.

    You seem to take pride in it though, weirdly.

    Not the current place though, the old Vetch Field.

    Where the idea of a toilet was pissing up against a wall. Genuine proper old school ****hole of a ground.

    I went once, when they played Wigan.

    Was seeing a bird from Seaham I'd met on holiday, she worked the Saturday so I went to a game. 1987 I think.

    You went before me then. 88 or 89 was my first game there.

    Just checked and we did play Wigan in 87. Won 4-1. Was the bird nice?

    Yeah, ok mate.

    I used to go away games with United back then. Can't say anyone had heard of a Soul Crew.

    Legends in your own heads, just like the Swansea version are.

    I'm too old to be arsed about having a ruck at football, it's just nonsense now.

    I did that as a teen and early twenties, the buzz of the game being partially about potential aggro at away games. It was good, and had plenty hairy moments in Cities across England, but now I'm not interested.

    Swansea aren't even my actual team, I go because I take my sons to watch their local team.. Plus, it's not premier league bollocks and it's on Saturday afternoon's.

    Last year's South Wales derby was full (Swansea won as usual), and the ones making up the numbers were ****ing idiots who got pissed up first thing in the morning to shout abuse across the length of stadium at away fans who'd been bussed in and they couldn't get to anyway. They are nowhere near Swans games otherwise. They should stay the **** away for derby games as well.

    Been to a few away games over the last few years taking my sons and the proper Swans away are a good crack actually, it's the derby day ones are twats. I'd say that applies to both sides.
