bs3 Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Anyone on this train last night? Delayed at Reading and Swindon due to trouble on the train do anyone know what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kodjias Wrist Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Yup two seperate groups. I know one group got off because there were concerns for one of the guys health. The other lads are mates of mine who had too much to drink and arguing with the train manager about something. Out of order really when you consider that there are families on there and people were obviously intimidated by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No wonder we have to put up with condiscending attitudes from rugby fans when people can't just enjoy an exceptional away without ruining other people's trip.

There was a proper punch up on Friday night against Exeter, in the South Stand. Involved so told about 30-40. Went on for quite a while with few stewards and police to sort it out. More entertaining than the game apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairman Mao Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Same thing happened after the Rovers v Chelsea match. I had the misfortune to be amongst the hoards on the last train back (I work in London) from Paddington and many were kicked off at Swindon. It was the last train so they had to say overnight apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brizzlelou Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 There was a little scuffle at the rugby on Friday. By all accounts it was caused by a few ex marines from Exeter who had a skin full. Makes it even worse that it was alleged ex servicemen to be honest as you'd expect them to have more self control. The post that said 30-40 people was way off the mark. Any fighting at any sporting event is uncalled for, but the rugby lot do seem to be a little high and mighty when it comes to this. As someone pointed out before, rugby PLAYERS are extremely difficult to deal with compared to footballers when out on the piss and I have experience of dealing with both sorts (professional) in my previous job. In fact rugby boys when pissed are actually f***ing nauses....and I was a player when younger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br1stolCityBoy Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 According to people who were in close proximity of the trouble at the rugby. It was a group of Exeter fans who were on a stag do. An isolated case me thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
