I didn't say it was demolished.
After the works, the volume and number of seats for spectators would have been reduced. It's therefore true that prior to the refurb and the introduction of the boxes, the Canton would have looked much bigger.

Did you ever have the chance to stand right at the back of the old Grangetown End and the Canton Stand? Grangetown End dwarfed it.
Yes on a number of occasions both, and I agree with you that the GE dwarfed the Canton.
The OP's account though was that the Canton was large not larger than the Grangend.
I should add that I don't agree with bobh's view that both stands were of similar size. Perhaps you thought I was and got our posts confused?

It seems that some people (not you) were questioning the OPs excellent piece based on something that is subjective.
