Man City Fa Cup 94 - Blake scored a beauty and Mark Grew Saved a Penalty - Great Day

The Jacks Welsh Cup in 94 I think, we beat them 4-1 and Wayne Faraday scored from 30 yards!!

Leeds FA Cup game

Leeds game in the league (2007 I think), beat them 1-0, Chopra scored and then him and Walton got sent off – beat them with 9 men

Burnley last season

Reading in 2004 (game we effectively stayed up)

Sheffield United 2004 (game after black Friday – strange that it’s a favourite game but the relief after the game was immense)

yep kids we did used to play in Europe

I was i Liege for our last ever away trip. Perhaps we can rekindle those days again - although we would probably travel in much bigger numbers than we did in those days.

To be honest every game at Ninian park was the best game. I loved every minute down Ninian park, Rain, Snow, Sunshine i loved it there. Breaks my heart not seeing it there :(

Anyone know if Cardiff could change the name of this new stadium from The cardiff city stadium to Ninian Park?

The Plymouth game was brilliant-my grandads last ever game (an original Port Talbot Bluebird)

Promotion winnning games v Crewe, Shrewsbury, Orient etc....

FA Cup games v Man City and Leeds

League Cup v Chelsea (and Plymouth)

Sheff Utd after Black Friday

Burnley last year

Derby-last ever floodlight game

Calisle (97) My eldest boys 1st ever game (aged 8 weeks)

Wigan 2004/05 My middle boys first game-return of kav (shame about score)

Few good calls I had forgotten about like Burnley last year and Sheffield U in 2005. I have got another one West Ham in 2004 when we won 4-1 in probably the best game of total football under Lennie Lawerance's management.
