Can't remember any games when I needed a ticket in advance but then I did have a season ticket from the early 80s on so I maybe wrong

We werent playing one Saturday so me and two friends decided to go and watch Newport play Swansea at Somerton Park and there was so many Cardiff there we had our own part of the ground
Ah yes, those were the days - when it was a ticket free for all and opposing fans used to kick the living daylights out of each other !!!
