Thread: Ninian Park.

  1. #26

    Re: Ninian Park.

    I’ve got so many happy memories.

    The old Grange End with the wooden floor that away fans had to walk under. I loved the stamping of feet on that floor.

    The Golden Goal tickets

    The little tannoy announcers box between the Grange and Grandstand

    Little triangles of Orange Squash… i keep forgetting the brand

    Sitting next to my Dad (who died last year) in the Canton Stand watching the Wrexham FA Cup game … he was so nervous he used it as an excuse to start smoking again (as if he ever stopped)

    Meeting my pals under the gantry on the Bob bank.

    I loved that ground

    Neither can I.
    I mean think about it - if as an away fan, you had to walk under that bouncing, piss sodden Grange-End.. you'd be mentally scarred for life!

    The camber on the pitch.
    The greenness of the grass.
    How bright the whole pitch looked under those immense floodlights.
    "Captain Morgan Rum".

    Was about to mention the camber on the pitch as most had been mentioned but you beat me to it.

    For me I'm not sure it has been mentioned but the smells.
    From a Clarks pie, to the grass when on the Bob Bank terrace to the stale smell of piss at the toilets.

    I'd go back tomorrow. It had character and everything seemed a lot more simple then.

    Re: Ninian Park.

    Camber meaning curve? That's one of the first things I think of. Captain Rum and the scruffy CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB on the front.

    Re: Ninian Park.

    The smell of piss.

    And groups of people who would stand near to you even with acres of space and start smoking

    That's 2.

    Taks it.

    I remember having hospitality a few times at NP. Seen better in workman's clubs up the valleys 😂😂

    The wooden benches in the Canton, those Floodlights, the St John’s Ambulance first aid post at the top of the slope on the Bob Bank and the open air toilets.
