' Kumar Out / Kumar Out '

January 1998, I can’t believe it was 20 years ago! Cardiff beat Oldham 1-0 I think it front of 7,000. The next round was Reading away when we lost on pens, Thank you Anthony Rivers for the photo & date.

I remember this game,there was some pretty dangerous thunder storms that day. I also remember Reading away that was my very first away game watching the city.

Annis, I can obviously spot you from a mile off and Tony is first left.

Who is the guy in the front with the blue shirt on?

Spot on - there were hailstones the size of golf balls on the M4 with traffic down to 15mph at one point coming in from Bridgend as you simply couldn't see a foot in front of you and it was howling a gale too. Several Oldham fans weren't wearing shirts and I wouldn't be surprised if they really did catch pneumonia that day.

Mark Squires (Reading Fan): You came to Elm Park and Nicky Hammond and ruined your night you brought loads that night



Annis Abraham: We certainly did, massive away support by Cardiff & yes Nicky Hammond sent us home gutted



Vince Alm: Wet and windy night on the open terrace but great support in them days

I remember the hail storm during the game, bad enough at the time I thought the game might be abandoned.

John Hallworth played a blinder in goal that day!

I was only a teenager for this game but me and my mate were gobsmacked by the whole experience. The aggresive nature of our support the noise of the fans and spirit from the team just got me hooked on the city. Sadly nothing can compare to this anymore, we were a bloody scary lot back in the 90's. Times change but i miss these days so much.

Cheers Wayne, Yes Tony is first left at the front in a big jumper :thumb right:

Joff in Blue shirt/black jacket.

Didn’t Joff have a bit of a limp Annis, haven’t seen him at a City game for years. Remember that game though, probably last time we played at Elm Park, brilliant performance and ultimately brilliant failure.

We certainly were and we had hundreds of lads every game.

Couple of Devon lads there ,Used to have good chats with them. The one with blonde hair was with a few of us up Anfield When Wales played there. Stayed in a pub full of mad scousers and big Quinny.Sure lakey still wears that top

Annis ,That lad to the right of you with straight hair ,Absolutely bonkers Remember him at Swindon away when it was Cardiff on Cardiff after the game. Mental day/Night

The lad on the right of Annis is called Huw,top bloke an absolute nutter but brilliant Goalkeeper.
