Re: Cardiff City from 1992.

Snap- my first game too.. Think the penalty was retaken? A crowd of 4096 sticks in my mind although I haven't looked that up.

Very impressive! You’ve got the attendance figure right- the game was played on 31/8/91

Didn't Neil Mathews screw up leaving John Williams on the line with no choice but to handle the ball ?

For which he was sent off ?

we were bad that day, still, I'd go back and watch it all again as football was far more enjoyable then

I woke up with a stinking hangover that day. I certainly didn't feel any better after 90 mins of that sh*te.

Would you though?
I wonder if it was because you were maybe in your late teens like myself and life experience was different and exciting.
Going to watch that as a 49 year old may not be so enjoyable

For me football is football. I enjoy cymru premier or national league games more than most championship games.

I don't mind watching man City now and then for top quality but below that it doesn't bother me.

The Championship is good fun, but the entertainment value is horrific (in my view). If we were in the national league I honestly don't see how games could be duller than say that 1st half v wigan was?

Re: Cardiff City from 1992.

think it was the first day of the junior bluebirds that day as well

I think it was also the first day the seats were used in the enclosure

I think that was the day Rick Wright attended a home match shortly after he became owner. I recall him walking in front of the enclosure throwing chocolate bars to the crowd. The problem was the chocolate was 2 years out of date and inedible and must have been left overs from his holiday park at Barry Island formerly the Butlins camp. That was the first and last time my son went to a football match and he even had his picture on the front page of the echo.
