Good Day out that, 1999 lost 2-0 if I remember right, was 18 and first time to Millwall, pulling up in the tube, looking down the bank, a few hundred Millwall or so being moved back by police, they were very unhappy with us, as all kicked off at Ninian park first game, Sad when you look back on it now, but I loved those days growing up as a Cardiff fan

Those were the best days and real passion by our fans

Nothing's changed, fans still passionate, and we are still shit on the pitch

Agree, it was like one big Family, at 18 all the fans looked after me and Lee Simmons that day, as I went on my own, but met Lee on the train for the first time, great day's! in some ways is was not about the result, people enjoyed the day's out and the banter that went with it..

Jules, It does not sound like that anymore from the terraces.

No where near the same In my view, but agree still shit on the pitch

Spot on

I remember that day. train from Newport to Paddington only to be met by the plod. straight into the pub and then escorted through the town, where it all kicked off, and onto the tube.
I remember looking down at the Millwall fans and plod thinking it looked like a scene from a film, it was unreal. the slow march to the ground and the aggressive force from the plod, before and after the game.

After the game we were marched onto the train and straight out home. What a day that was and on a par with West ham in the 79-80 season for sheer passion, excitement and dread.

edit, I see myself in that picture

1000 but I'd say 800 lads, not a woman and child in sight. City don't travel like that anymore, proper away days, Stoke in 2000 was another example.

Norms, The Met said to me on Paddinghton Train station when we asked to go back to our cars, that it was the biggest mob of lads they had seen for many a year and it was like an International mob.

yeah fighting broke out before, half time and after the game. Geez I was just 17 and I could run then haha. Remember going with Adar Glas and chasing them and looking back and they were chasing us, we were caught in the middle.

Also and don't ask why but I was wearing clogs, it was 1979 after all, so I had to grip my toes and leg it

I was 13 years old on the Adar Glas coaches and to this day that was one of my scariest ever away games.

Stoke in 2000 was a sight an a half. Half of my coach didnt come home. Banged up. Never been through a metal detector before a game since or before that game.
