Now that’s how you celebrate leaving a stadium and the end of an era. Not a plastic football in sight. Let’s be honest our club have always shit on the fans, it’s always been the same and so shall remain so

Enjoying it. Nostalgia isn’t for everyone on this forum though.
Yeah, that’s the problem with the past, it brings back so many memories.Quote:

Can't think of too many clubs with a new stadium that can do that.
Petrol station. 10p. Signed. Up in the loft, deflated. Looks like a neon haemorrhoid. Only Cardiff City could lose 3 nil in our last match at NP. Still standing though.Quote:

Wasn't the Wembley Trophy a regulation size and weight?
One of my earliest childhood disappointments was thinking I was getting a leather football for my birthday, only to find it was a Wembley Trophy (they came in a box). :hehe:
Strangely, I don't remember these footballs from Ninian Park. I don't remember anything being given away at the final game, to be honest, though plenty of people helped themselves to stuff. I always wondered what happened to the turnstile doors I saw being carried down Sloper Road.
I do remember these footballs from when I was a kid, though. Anyone remember having to weld up a puncture with a hot knife? Had to do that many a time....
I had a white one think it was called an International.
I don't think they gave them away as such, just kicked some into the crowd wasn't it?Quote:

yes, in a embarrassed type of way , apart from Paul Parry who couldnt be arsed to go and get a ball which followed on from his " couldnt be arsed to run during that whole game " attitude :angry:Quote:
