    If you look roughly where that buddleia plant is nearest the pitch that was where I stood with my lad when the bricks came raining over from Swansea fans. Think he was 6 or 7 at the time. I told him to stand in front of me to protect himself barrier side. i had my back to the bricks. Scary chuffin times I'll tell ya. Probably only lasted a few seconds but seemed longer at the time.

    I stood against the wall (true story) and that's definitely where my kids would have been if they had been born

    Do you mean the wall at the top of the steps Howdy? A good tactic if you were at the back. Sounds like a defensive manoeuvre from a medieval war manual

    Roly, at that particular time I was stood under the corner floodlight and trust me pal that was even worserer as Frog would say. A very few very scary minutes indeed.

    yep I looked back and saw them raining in under the flood lights and also going on tivoli people were running for cover, but they were coming in at all angles and bouncing down the steps. I may be wtong but I dont think the open bit was seated then on the millmoor lane side.

    Yep it was scary not stones but half bricks and chunky bits of rubble. Surprised no one was seriously hurt from the bombardment.

    Correct, it wasn't seated then and folk were dashing all over the place and my choice of refuge was under the wall itself so anything that came over didn't hit me. Pardon the pun but I was bricking it.
