2003.

Andy Campbells stunning looking volley over QPRs stranded Keeper Chris Day, saw the millennium stadium erupt as acardiff secured Promotion to Championship/ First Division.

Soccer Am was Thriving.
Tim, Helen, Tubes, Rocket, Fenners, Soccerettes and Dance-offs served as the morning match entertainment.

ITunes had just started and singles cost 79p albums cost 7.99.

Yanks were in Iraq and Brits Joined em.

Blair was in power. (Still a c**t)

Harry Potter was trending on bookshelves.

The Terminator became the Governor.

Kavanagh was the king of the Ninian.
Earnie Scored goals for fun.
Gabbidon ran the back line.
Scotlands no1 was in our net. (No not David Marshall).
Andy Legg played for us for the final time.
Lennie Lawrence (Mr Burns) was our Gaffer.
Sam the Man ended up in the tub post match as he was dumped in the bath.

Cardiff were on the up.

Everything was positive.

How times will of changed for the next visit to that division.

Could be worse i suppose.

What followed was quite bad though at various times. Let’s not forget that.

Black Friday for one. Golden ticket. Being told in court we were basically insolvent.

No doubt.

Ridsdale Lies and manipulation.

Let's not forget though, We had similar before all of it.
Rick Wright and his Barry Island Butlins Bullshit, his dreams of us being the Glasgow Celtic in Wales and playing in the Welsh League.
Clemo/Kumar... anyone associated to the barren years between until 2000s when Sam joined and gave us some hope.
