Millwall 1999

Cardiff 2-1 Watford when McCormack scored last minute penalty in 6/7 minutes added on time.

Loads of people left and it was crazy when McCormack scored. :ayatollah:

City v Spurs, Wrexham & Everton, fa cup run 77. Chelsea 77. All the Swansea games, specially 1980 (3-3) to name but a few,,,,,the Stoke play off game was good, but depressing in the end.

Wales, Yugoslavia (twice), Scotland a few times ( who could forget the night Jock Stein died), & England (think it was about 78) when Phil Dwyer scored.

To add to the above - vs Barnsley in May 2008 - last league game of the season, just before our FA Cup final - absolutely packed, we won 3-0 and the place was bouncing...

God I miss that place... I used to love the music piped around the ground on matchdays, the smell of the burger stand and then finally, the smell of the pitch as I used to walk around the corner onto the Bob Bank...

Birmingham, August 2006. My first game, not one to forget.

I'll never forget Ali on the loudspeaker after the game. "WE, ARE, TOP OF THE LEAGUE" :malky: :ayatollah:

FA cup v Leeds will take some beating imo. Sam firing up the faithful was a memorable occasion.

No negatives for me :ayatollah: ,maybe if we were the happy clappy fans then as we are now .I think the score could've been different & we would've lost IMO

Shrewsbury 92/93 last game of the season home when we won the league & I shattered my elbow & broke my arm running on the pitch :oops: But still good fun :ayatollah:

Great day that. Only a young un then on the Grange End. All sides of the ground surrounded the pitch waiting to run on. They opened the gates in the end so I just walked on. You must have been one of the eager ones mate. :mrgreen:

Very eager , We were all standing around the pitch when somebody blew a whistle & we all charged on. I spent the last 10 minutes in the medic room at the end of the canton stand. An Ambulance took me to the Royal infirmary ,the next day I had an operation on my arm :laughing6: Great day :thumbup:

The Leeds game for pure drama and the hi jinks from Sam, I was in the grange end that game and it was absolutely crazy. However the Man City game for me in the cup when Blake scored. They weren't really a massive scalp which is why Leeds gets talked more but the Man City fans were fantastic and it was a real cup atmosphere and I haven't seen so many Cardiff fans fired up for a game.

v Man Utd in 1974 (10,000 united in the bob bank) and the grange end packed to the rafters and swaying like the old Liverpool Kop
v Palace in the 70s ( night game) - if I remember correctly, Cardiff avoided the drop and sent Palace down instead ( big pitch invasion at the end)
