I think it was '77, 10 years old and with my old man in Wimpy in London before Chelsea game - then all hell broke loose outside, some bloke from Bargoed came in with his son saying Chelsea were going mad looking for Cardiff, then some Chelsea fans came in saying Cardiff were going mental.

Just not the same these days - you used to be served Wimpy and chips on a plate with a knife and fork :old:

Jinks, '82-'83 was a superb season. Chesterfield away was and still is one of my favourite aways of all time - truly memorable for lots of reasons.

;)

I don't know what my first game was, other than it was a pre-season friendly in 1976, so my first season was 1976 to 1977. Many ups and downs on the way since then, but we could be on the verge of promotion to the Prem now, which nobody would've believed during some of the dark days in the '80s and '90s.

I just hope we can all enjoy this season and for the broken friendships to be mended.

Grandfather bought me my first season ticket for the 72/73 season, when he moved down from Bury, he was a season ticket holder up there.
Yes I did until the day we left Ninian Park, all in my office on shelves in order. I hardly ever buy them now since we moved in to the new stadium.
