Saw this in the Swans100 archives : In 1926, with Swansea playing in London in the FA Cup semi-final, one Swans fan found himself arrested and then fined for possession of a revolver. His excuse was that he had brought it ‘for safety as he was going to the cup semi-final’. Was that out of a genuine fear there could be a trouble? That man was one of two Swansea fans arrested that day. The other was cautioned for pushing people off a payment. In an interesting contrast, over fifty undergraduates in London were charged that day with drunk and disorderly behaviour following the Boat Race.

A friend of mine was arrested at an away game (Carlisle I think) on suspicion of firearms offences (having a gun with him) and he was searched, they found no weapons besides his mouth, maybe that's why they arrested him anyway and put him in the cells for the night. |  | | |

The Boat Race is always dodgy. People drinking Pims from 8 in the morning is a recipe for disaster! [Post edited 28 Oct 2023 17:10]
