All of the fans were able to get onto the other coach and it took them to the next services where they were to await a replacement vehicle." </p> The coach was one of two travelling back to Cardiff. </p> West Midlands Police said nobody was injured. </p> The blaze came after Cardiff City's summer signings, Robbie Fowler and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, scored to help secure victory. </p></font></td></tr></tbody></table>
