The West Ham versus Millwall football violence made headlines but it was not the only hooliganism that week.
Five men and a 15-year-old youth were arrested after football fans attacked police at Cardiff Central station following the Carling Cup match between Cardiff City and Bristol Rovers on Wednesday, August 26.
The six, all from the Bristol area, were arrested after a large number of Rovers fans refused to board the 2200hrs service from Cardiff Central to Bristol Temple Meads after the match.
Officers from South Wales Police (SWP) and British Transport Police (BTP) were deployed at Cardiff Central station to keep rival fans apart.
But as BTP officers maintained a cordon at the station entrance to keep Cardiff fans out, a number of the 150 Bristol Rovers supporters being monitored by police began attacking officers and tried to break through the cordon to get to rival fans.
Those arrested by BTP were a 21-year-old man from Southmead, an 18-year-old man from Pucklechurch, a 43-year-old man from Patchway, a 20-year-old man from Patchway and a 15-year-old youth from Patchway.
The sixth person, a man from the Bristol area, was arrested by South Wales Police officers.
