There is a poignant and moving story in today's South Wales Evening Post about PC Ian George. ........ He was the PC that was stabbed in the head with a dart.
Quote: "When fighting broke out on the North Bank officers came under a hail of golf balls, billiard balls, washers and coins. PC George who lived in Sketty, was in the thick of it when his helmet came off and seconds later he was stabbed in the head with a dart"

I was looking for this story for the other Swansea-Cardiff thread, so I'll bump it instead
Cardiff scoring early in the 2nd leg and their fans started celebrating bottom west-end of North Bank, then all hell broke loose |  |

I do believe they ( some PVM ) got in as half of them used to be jacks but weren’t that well received by certain quarters of the north bank so they switched allegiance. And left the NB extremely quickly that day. That’s what I saw. It wasn’t the worst football violence you will ever see at a game, and both Swansea and Cardiff have been involved in far worse since. For my sins I was right there that day. It’s all a part of growing up. That’s my excuse.

I was on that bank , they got battered. I remember a few tried to sneak out by walking along the bank in small groups but they were found out and got it all over again. | |

Do you think they had the correct person for the crime taffpunk ?, what you say ties in with the word on the street, but the word on the street at the time from memory went further in that somebody that didn't do it was bragging they had done it and eventually got pulled in. |  |

As has been mentioned on this thread taffpunk people (Cardiff and Swansea fans I heard speak about it over the years) rightly or wrongly all thought it was a Kaardiff fan. | |

I know a Cardiff fan from Barry, who ended up with a dart in his shoulder at the Vetch many years ago Swans fans were never above a bit of the dirty stuff, they weren't saints by a long way. | | | |

Who in their right mind takes darts to a game. Different times i know, but good heavens. |  |
| Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.

That is indeed an extremely 'unconventional' football stadium accessory for this day and age... Improvised/home made 'Kung Fu fighting stars' were the norm also, pictured on 1980's SWEP. To think individuals spent so much time crafting those particular items. Some were even letter-stamped with CCFC and SCFC!
And standing on the (un-roofed) open ended Ninian Park Grange Town End terrace saw many evasive actions to avoid golf balls thrown over from outside. Darts, golf balls and Kung Fu fighting stars seen as regular items..... A stark "that was then this is now" comparison of different era's. | |

Standing on the Grange end in the early 80s, I saw a Swans fan throwing a coin into the family section of Cardiff fans.It hit a young kid who had been giving us, shall we say gestures with his hands. It was a hell of a good shot, hit him right on the head and down he went. | | | |

Talking to a mate yesterday rumours of a pool ball in the east stand on Saturday, could it be it’s a very slow and sneaky way of building a discreet games room ? | |

There were no Swans fans under the double decker . It was the away end. If you were on the North Bank and didn’t see or hear anything, including the ejection of the PT mob onto the side of the pitch then you must have been asleep. | |
