Egg hits bartender in the face in banned initiation practices at Cardiff University

A now-deleted podcast in which Cardiff University students discussed initiation practices that saw an egg hit a bartender in the face has led to the university warning of disciplinary action.

Former students used a podcast to discuss the various "impressive" and "creative" punishments and initiations they faced in their sports teams while studying. One former Cardiff University football player, Fergus, explained how during his first-ever freshers social, the new boys were led down an ally and pelted with eggs and salad cream. He explained: “As bad as it sounds…it did just get rid of the people that they didn’t necessarily want there."

At a later social, Fergus recalled an innocent bartender getting caught up in the crossfire when one player threw an egg which ended up striking her in the face, the Tab reports. Knowing the reputation the clubs had, Fergus said when they go somewhere “we know we’re never going to be invited back again.”
