RedAndWhite91 Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 Haven't posted for months but thought I'd come and set the record straight before you get people making assumptions and thinking that we perhaps deserved it, gave it the large one and got a slap, because it was not like that at all. It was completely unprovoked and ridiculous. Basically we walked past a pub and some lads stormed out asking where we were from, then one asked for my phone, I said we were from nowhere and that I didn't have a phone, he swung for me and I ducked it, then he kicked me, we walked off after that thinking that was that. About 15 minutes later, still lost looking for Bristol Temple Meads we realise we're being followed by a group of them, 10-15 I'd say, and there was 3 of us. They get closer starting to shout 'Oi!' but we ignore it and carry on walking. When they got really close, one mate legged it, I turned to see about 5 or 6 of them just laying into my mate... I couldn't leave him so I went over to try and get some off him (he had his face kicked after being dragged to the ground) but then I had 4 or 5 on me just throwing punches and trying to grab me... Don't know how long this went on for but we took a beating, being so outnumbered it was difficult to even defend ourselves. Afterwards they were shouting "WE ARE BRISTOL CITY" and such, think they were quite proud a large group just beat up 2 people who made it clear they didn't want it. Spent ages with the police and then in a+e where yes, my mate suffered a fractured cheek bone. I seem to have got off lightly with only a few sore spots on my head and that but it could have been a lot worse. It was f*cking stupid. Some Saints fans walked past the police van and insinuated that we must have said something to make it kick off, but I think it'd have been incredibly stupid for 3 of us to say something to a pub full of lads. Wrong place, wrong time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About 5 of them got split up and a bit lost, they were then followed and started on by about 20 Bristol. Pathetic they only pick on smaller groups when they got a massive numerical advantage.

Big_Bald_Si Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 This story doesn't shock me at all. I went to Swansea university, and used to goto the odd Swansea game, City came down one game (this was a good 10-11 years ago), and just smashed up a few pubs in town, and when I say smashed up, I mean properly smashed up and did a number on. Idiots, and I hope you're both ok. No idea why people can't just enjoy their football, and enjoy a bit of banter with away fans without it getting f***ing stupid.

HedgeEnder Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 There were 5 of us who got lost on the way back to the station and we ended up going in to a 'home' pub. Luckily for us the locals were as good as gold, had a couple beers then one of them gave us a lift to the station! Guess things could have been a whole lot worse.....

terrasaint Posted 27 November, 2011 Share Posted 27 November, 2011 My daughter and I sat in the home end. No saints colours and as quiet as mice. Think the two guys sat next to us were saints fans as well. However even talking quietly to my daughter about the game, a moron sat behind picked up that we were saints fans and made a prolonged attempt to antagonise us. ie making very loud donkey noices every time Fonte was on the ball. (Referring to an earlier incident when he completely missed the ball. We felt very intimidated but did not respond. Will not be giving our money to that club again. Cant wait for 30th December!!!!!!

Surely as well as taking people to court and banning them for this weeks made up offence he has a duty of care to innocent football fans like these lads and to protect them. Why no statement from him next to a well posed for photo declaring how he will work with the local OB to bring these thugs to justice and crushing this sort of behaviour?
