The obligatory bloke on the door asks, “Are you members?” Negative, “Are you from Cardiff?” Negative. He’s still doubtful until the late sadly missed Derek Smith pulls out his trump card, his CIU membership with Cathays Liberal Club, Cardiff clearly displayed on the front, shows it to the doorman. Doorman, laughs, let’s us in and on leaving even invited us back if we wanted to after the game. The MacDonalds by the Madjeski sadly doesn’t have the same romance.
Good stuff Splotty P. Hope you’re better btw.
