Remember that big tear up down there in 94..on the junction outside the big pub down the road from the ground. Chaos.

Think Fereday and Brock scored, if the memory serves.

I have been a few times, there was a time when they were big rivals.

The first trouble I ever saw at Ninian Park was against Plymouth, I remember seeing loads of blokes running across Jubilee Park and saying what's going on Dad and him telling me don't tell you're Mam :lol: (she was reluctant about us going to Football because of hooliganism)

I can remember a former poster on this board climbing up onto the grange end back wall and walking over to the away section and giving them shit from above :lol:

Then they brought about 12 lads in a minibus one time and they were taken out during the game for their own safety and the entire Block A Grandstand emptied and it was like Rourkes Drift outside as the Police escorted these Plymouth Lads to their bus whilst holding back about 2-300 Cardiff lads trying to get out.

Down there it's the coldest ground I have ever been to, I went on Boxing Day when Sam paid for the coaches (but we went in the car) and it was ABSOLUTELY freezing with a little shed at the back selling food and drinks :lol: but that was Football wasnt it? unlike now

Been a few times since and they were always up for it, never forget some buster bloodvessel looking bloke shouting Aberfan at us in the car park and Potato Head (RIP) saved him an absolute hammering as a few of us wanted to rip his head of but Simon just stood there with his camera on us and the Plymouth OB stood in front of Buster :banghead:

I live a 5 minute walk away from the stadium.
The new grandstand isn't open yet.
The New Year game finished 4-4 if I remember correctly.

Plenty has happened between Cardiff & Plymouth over the years, I was there on everything you've said, they were rivals for quite a few years and some great trips down there :thumbright: :thumbright:
