“Two sets of fans safely separated by a fence where the coaches were parked, challenging the 'other side' to a fight.

“At one point one of our 'fans' climbed up the fence realised that if he jumped over he would have been left on his own with about twenty Swansea 'fans' and thought better of it.

“It's a bit like going to Yorkshire Wildlife Park and challenging the lions to a fight safe in the knowledge that they can't get to you!”
