No mate, down Wentloog Road where the old County cinema used to be.
About half a mile or so down on the right hand side.

Got out of my skull at 16 years old in the Romney Castle in the mid 70's drinking brains.

Walked /staggered back up the hill to catch the last Llanrumney bus back home - fell asleep and ended up back at Cardiff bus station.

Had to pay for a taxi back to Llanrumney - puked all over my bedroom !!!

Certainly a lesson learn't !!!

Great put ROMPNEY CASTLE - wish them all the best.

Ah, memories eh !!!

:old: :laughing6:

So there not showing every city game? I was told they were and was also told that they are organising a shuttle bus from the rompney to the stadium at home games? Would be ideal for me as my mother lives around the corner in brachdy :)

Re: Rompney Castle, Rumney

Sun Aug 11, 2013 7:33 pm

yes regarding shuttle buses to the stadium

yes was told last night they will be showing all city games .
