Which part of Ninian Park should be up for inclusion?
Bob Bank bespoke toilet facilities
a.k.a. the al fresco breeze-block pissoir. I remember seeing the steam from afar.Quote:

The Bob Bank “temporary” bar structure. If I remember rightly the window fell out during half time of a particular tedious game….which then led to a great atmosphere and a win second half!
The Subbuteo sized TV gantry between the bob bank and the Canton
They looked like little mice
If I remember correctly there was a booth selling BIF BAF tickets between the old Canton stand and the Bob Bank
Shirley to be included in any new ground development
The bar that resembled a prison cell for the staff member that sold cans outside the front of the Grandstand
The Radio Ninian box between the Enclosure & Grangetown End.
The railway sleeper type terracing towards the back of the Grangetown End.... just to give the ground more flexibility with the ‘bounce’.
That would be my nomination or that little box at the back of the Enclosure before they extended the Grandstand, think it was for hospital broadcasting, but you’d have struggled to get two people in there.Quote:

Think they were called Jubbly ( The drink in triangular cartons) And the crisps had a chipmunk on them I think. Bloody brilliant! My old man would take me to Franklins before a game for a pasty.Quote:

The old bloke standing halfway along sloper Road shouting .....money spinner lottery tickets !
Not part of the ground but part of the Cardiff City experience for me
He's probably dead now
