    Its about 3/4 of a mile from Piccadilly to Victoria.

    You can get a free bus if you like.</p>

    Or the Metro to Bury passes through Vic</p>

    Yep , just confirmed Werneth is the nearest station.

    Apparently its in the &quot;asian&quot; side of town , so maybe the &quot;five-0&quot; might fancy going along.</p>

    RE: Five-0 are to$$ers: FACT

    I know some of the guys who went down to Cardiff that day.Two of them live within 100 yards of me. One of them isn't even a Barnsley fan. He use to go to Bramal Lane. He got a 3 year ban.

    The Police video has also done the rounds. I was shown it via the local Nazi/BNP supporter. I know half a dozen on the lads who were on it and to be honest they are all mouth and no action. A right bunch of Mummys boys.</p>

    I don't , but as "Five-O" are the only confirmed barnsley racists I know.

    I thought they might fancy causing a bit of bother like they did in Cardiff.

    There were the regular fans ,

    Then there were a number of &quot;people&quot; dressed for trouble , scarves leaving just eyes visible and such like. I even heard them talk as to how dull the trip had been until they got a fight started in the Walkabout bar in Cardiff.</p>

    They then proceeded to give us the full rendition of &quot;Paki&quot; songs with respect to Sam Hamman , and various &quot;No surrender&quot; songs. Then towards the end they put a rush on the Police in order to start a fight.</p>

    I didn't make any assumptions about the involvement of BNP members in Cardiff that day. The guy I spoke about is well know in the area where I live and is an active BNP member. He also put a brick through a supporters coach window not so long ago.I understand he has a banning order now. None of the other guys I know who were on the Police video are BNP supporters.

    Hmmm.
    Still think your sterotyping. As for Sam Hamman. The less said the better.

    I think Sam Hamman is a fool and liked to whip

    up anti-Englishness when it suited him.</p>

    However you appear to be revelling in the actions of the &quot;Five-O&quot;.</p>

    I know a few people who could be classed as 'five-o'. a couple are extremely good mates of mine. And they arnt racist, far from it.
    You just seem to like taring everyone with the same brush.
