From where we were ,it did sound like the silence was broken ,which soured matters .
A memorable day alright |  |

Tried two times in the Kop that day. Both times the Swans scored and the friendly happy go lucky scousers weighed into us. Police marched us round the pitch and the final time battered us with truncheons. By end of the game I and my fellow enthusiasts had enough of them. Especially the little fellas in Stanley Park.
And so it goes.

I was at that game, we were all queuing tidily to get in the sawns section, and they penned us against the wall with the horses.,
i can remember the crew being led away from the kop. |  | | |

The mounted at that time were dealing with extremely truculent football folk. Times were different to now . Many clubs had violent firms for whom a good ruck was essential part of the day .
Countering this was down to Police .
A police horse does the work of ten bobbies on foot.
Swansea was no different although in smaller numbers .

I was in the away section. The noise came from outside the ground where fans wouldn't have known the minute silence was happening. | | | |

Agree outside with no problem then the police horses appeared and caused a crush. Not a good situation to be in when no room front back left of right. | | | |

And the fans inside the ground wouldn’t have been aware of that
Did you go to the 8-0 cup reply thrashing? | |

I'm sure that the Liverpool fans closest to the away section in the Kemlyn Road stand would have been able to tell, but not from the Kop end. Ive read numerous times over the years that Swansea fans showed disrespect on the day. It wasn't the case.
No I didn't go to the 8-0 game. Both my sons were coming to games then, and being a night game it wasn't feasible, and being a good dad wouldn't go without them.
Even now they are

I agree , swans fans were quiet , and it was just one or 2 who were on their way in made a noise, It amazes me, even now 40 odd years later how quick and in unison the pool fans reacted with the chanting. | | | |

If it's the start of the shopping area from the station it's all being demolished and changed to retail and residential area. | | | |

Been in Kop loads of times as a young teenager.from about the age of 14, although last I was there, was when Tevez scored the winner for the Red Manc's and at the Kop end, it was a dour trip back home in the minibus though, not been back since our 30th wedding anniversary, good weekend that was, the Wife wanted to do the tour, so we caught a bus up from Town, they had the players tunnel closed off though as they were working off flying carpets [scissors lifts] doing repairs /maintenance and that's the area she wanted to through as well  |  |

Us 2 are driving up, leaving about 9. We're parking at the stadium, bit of a rip off at 18 quid and they keep you in for an hour after for pedestrian saftey. | | | |

Can’t see us causing you too much trouble tomorrow, without Sheaf we just can’t perform. Even our best 2 players, Wright and Van Ewijk, have looked shakey in the last 2 games and might not even start tomorrow
I would take a point now. | | | |

Welcome for the weekend 👍
The league is so odd, anything can happen.
Just don’t go 3-0 up 😉
We find it annoying.

The mounted copper with ginger hair, caused that wall to collapse - crushing the fans against the wall with his horse.
Plus he cracked quite a few innocent fans on the head (drawing blood) with his baton/truncheon, that were trapped against the wall and couldn't move to his commands!!
The noise in the minutes silence?? - A Swan's "fan" shouted, "Burn the b@stard" and got quite a few slaps from the supporters around him!! |  |
| Everyday above ground ... Is a good day! 😎 |

Was listening to cwr radio station yesterday they have full hour 6 till 7 every Friday talking about Coventry. Reminded me of the Swansea sound days on a Friday night. Now can't get nothing local talking about swans. Come on jack's today they described us as not having a striker and j Allen on the bench. | | | |

Got a little sneaking feeling that we might do well 😏 |  | | |
