The "Blue Birds Club",,,,

You older City fans will remember this place just behind the old Canton stand at Ninian Park. I remember getting in as a sixteen year old, but why did it close? I bet a club next to the CCS now would do a bomb, on match days anyway.

yeah i remember that bar/hall.

My dad used to take me there before a game, used to be a programme shop next to it to

Yeah i remember it just. I Dont know why it closed

I used to love going to the bluebirds club, often used to go there during the week too in the seventies. I remember being in there on a saturday when we played Millwall in about 75/76 and these two Millwall geezers walked in bold as brass and stood at the bar. I advised them that it would be in their interests to keep a low profile as the place was full of city nutters but one of them said they feared no one. The next minute a lad from north cornelly walks up to this big hairy Millwall bloke and hits him over the head with a leg of a table. I thought he'd killed him, his head was split in two, blood pumping out of him, but he just stood there unmoved. The city fan dropped the table leg and legged it sharpish, the Millwall fella calmly walked to the exit and when the fresh air hit him he collapsed . Later we came across him getting stuck in during a big fight between us and Millwall outside the station with his head wrapped in bloodied bandages, what a loon

Great story, can you remember a "live" band called the "Grangenders" who used to play on a Saturday night?

No Rick, I can't say I do, I don't think I've ever been in there on a saturday night though, before games on matchday and on the odd week night we would be in there, great place it was.

the reason it closed was city were skint at the time and did not keep it very well and Roof started leaking etc.
Uneconomical to keep going. sounds like our defense.
