Ninian Park.

It was the thing that struck me when visiting away grounds - how much smaller their floodlights seemed to be, in comparison with ours. The floodlights at other grounds would often have much smaller pylons but the actual lights would look huge.
I'm sure that we had them upgraded to meet the requirements of international football. Nevertheless, they were bloody impressive!

.

They were, weren’t they, visible from a fair way away from the ground in all directions. Why oh why wasn’t something suggested before demolition & dismantling? They’d have been brilliant sited on the four corners of the new ground............and anyone testing positive could be allowed to scale them to watch the games.

My favourite memory was (I think) against Mansfield Town.
The goal area was a mudbath and the opposition goalkeeper was a fuller figured chap.
The Cardiff fans were giving him a hard time, laughing as he slipped during a goal kick and landed on his backside!
Then, during one goal kick, some Valleys wag behind me, stood up and shouted "'Urry up......yer fat b***rd"!
