If it had still been called Ninian Park then I'd never ever sell that out, but the present name is a bit crap and meaningless anyway. I'm thinking that they must originally have gotten a few bob from Captain Morgan Rum because I expect everyone remembers that logo on the corrugated roof gradually fading over the years.



will add,they should have just called it new Ninian park and then dropped the new somewhere down the line.

Absolutely . There was no reason whatever that they couldn't have simply called it Ninian Park in the first place.
Let me tell you that to this day it's one of the few places in Cardiff people have heard of in different parts of the world.

It’s getting beyond with some on here. f*cking grief junkies the lot of them.

We’ve paid our respects and now it’s time to move on and let the families be.

We’ve got a season to finish and need to be concentrating on that.
