Same season as me 72/73. First game was v Norwich a 0-0 , stood in the 'Boys Enclosure' at the front of the grange. I always remember the Norwich keeper, Kevin Keelan, had this hair that he must have sprayed as there wasn't a hair out of place during the whole game. Hooked from then on :bluescarf:

My Grandad ( Bury Fan) took me down after Cardiff players visited my Junior School in Marshfield and gave me 2 Comps, Bob Bank loved it and months later Grandparents moved down and we both got Season Tickets :bluebird: :bluebird:

I had already been watching Bury every time I visited My Grandad (7 times I watched the Shakers)
And years on went their with Cardiff many times including promotion.

I have a soft spot for Bury, but I was born in Cardiff so i believe in Supporting the Club where you were born and our fans were unbelievable them atmosphere wise.

Yeah you're right, mainly bad owners, bad managers and bad players with the odd good season thrown in to keep us going back. :lol:
