If I remember correctly, the window was smashed when the driver misjudged the bridge turning into the stadium. I know the driver of another bus had to move during the meeting after threats were made to smash the windows.

Pinny Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Lets be perfectly honest, Glasgow have plenty of history with on and off track violence over the years. Lindqvist/Beveridge at Newport in 1999 when Beveridge decided to boot Lindqvist in the shoulder when he was lying on the ground, with his steel shoe. Then theres the following year when Andre Compton who was guesting for Newport at the time had to have a police escort out the stadium, thats without numerous other occasions. The fans on the whole are great though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely he also went on a Northern Tour with your team, I think Tim liked his tenacious riding in those days.

I think there was a fair bit of intimidation from Newport fans over the years, even at Somerton Pk., what about the guy who threw a large stone at Shane Parker after the race?
