It’s a good idea though.
👍😂😂😂 They were great days, younger fans, which is their loss unfortunately, have no clue what Ninian Park was really like. Those late 60s/early 70s days on the old Grangetown End were something else. Bouncing up & down on those wooden sleepers, seems like it was in another lifetime now. The newer ‘concrete’ Grange End was a pale imitation really, I hope I don’t seem like an old fogey looking back with rose tinted glasses but if you were there you’d know, believe me you’d know.Quote:

They don’t half make a noise too 👍
I’m so pleased we are having a big crowd tomorrow and we’ll done to the club for doing stuff like this.
Sometimes people live in a bubble and need a nudge to get engaged
I agree with that completely. Lessens the risk of them being Man Utd fans in the future. Good idea. :thumbup:Quote:

I'd say its because Ninian Park had its own personality, whereas the CCS has very little. In fact, football stadiums built since the 90s are basically the same.Quote:

Or you'd start close to the fence separating the Bob Bank, and find yourself somewhere near the exit once a cracking goal hand been scored at the Grange EndQuote:

The sheer amount of crap under that grandstand was frightening though, especially in the light of what happened at Bradford...
Not sure if all tickets have now been put up for sale, it looked like it a few days ago, but there’s less than 300 left now online
The old Grange was big too. I think NP had a capacity of over 50,000 in the late 70s. I can remember the away fans being in the enclosures under the grandstand.Quote:

So, no, us lot looking back to our 60s/early 70s days aren’t looking through rose tinted glasses, we looking back at the reality of football at that time. The ones who look back on the 90s/early 2000s at Ninian Park with fondness, now that’s another matter. Us lot, you included, who look back in the Jones, Swindin, Scoular days at the ground have every right to be nostalgic 👍Quote:

Got a feeling the tickets we got given are right next to the away fans as the tickets are marked overflow, guess it’s because Burnley didn’t sell out and the no mans land doesn’t need to be so big.Quote:
