When you think about the old ground, what’s the first thought that comes into your head?
For me, it’s the Captain Morgans Rum advertising on the roof.

The can bar outside block A of the grandstand but just inside the gates.

Looked like a prison cell that sold beer

The way we played in those days, that was a blessing!

Re: Ninian Park.

The last ever game, I'd not managed to get my usual ticket in Lower Block A so was in Upper. There's no way I wasn't standing with my mates for the last game so I jumped down over the wall, right in front of a steward. He looked at me, said," slipped did you"? laughed and walked off haha. Nowadays I'd have been arrested.

That and the Bristol City game (same season of the Leeds FA Cup game)

I couldn't make Leeds for personal reasons and the Bristol game was one of the most hostile atmospheres I've seen at home.

Overall some amazing memories of why I fell in love with Cardiff City.

We should all be given complimentary blindfolds to watch this shite under Mickey Mouse 🥺

Re: Ninian Park.

I can't think of the first thing, it's a bombardment

Getting soaking wet if you were not in the upper bob bank

Remembering crowds of less than 2500 , an empty , massive place

Being able to hear the players swear at each other

Moneyspinner lottery ticket bloke

The queue for the pisshouse

Re: Ninian Park.

If you were unfortunate enough to be on the Bob Bank Terrace in the rain you didn’t have to worry about queuing for the pisshouse 😂

Re: Ninian Park.

I am sure the high wall was moving in the wind and they had to cordon the toilets off.

Climbing into the Bob Bank from the back of the Canton Sheds 😆

Re: Ninian Park.

The rust

The commentary box in the Bob bank when we played leeds

The rush from the Grange end when we scored
Phil Suarez going mental when we played swansea "get off the pitch"

Giving John hartson so much abuse when he played or West Brom about his wife "shagging someone else" that he was subbed

Rising steam of piss.

Floodlights, the impressiveness of the Bob bank when it was at full capacity, the unfinished boxes in the canton stand, wooden benches, wooden seats, st Johns at the corner of the Bob bank, who city didn't pay for around 3 years!
I had access to the inner workings of the club for a while, so, the absolutely huge communal bath in the home changing room, the tiny laundry room where I went to hide behind the massive tumble dryers. The shitty sauna by the managers office and Harry Parsons, a legend. He struck a deal with a shoe repair shop in canton. When players wanted a new pair of boots, he'd take the old ones to this shop and get them to stitch a leather patch over the hole or tear. As tight as cramp, but a wonderful character.
