The Stadium is fantastic its the Clowns that are running it is the Problem. The Stadium could have a cracking atmosphere but it is being strangled. Get Sam back and put him in charge of Atmosphere. We are becoming a laughing stock amongst the away support as they come here to sample our famous atmosphere and they are confronted by a Graveyard :cry:

Love the family stand. I'm not too sure about the Ninian stand due ot the lack of atmosphere there. Hopefully that will change over the next season. The amenities are good although the prices are high and the queues can be long. Personally I think the overall setup can get better and hopefully will do over the next couple of seasons.

I might sound like a pussy but I just wish it wasn't as cold as well. Some nights it feels like Boundary Park! I do like it mind and have gotten familiar with those around me plus my mate joined us this year. :ayatollah:

Liked it from the start, wish they paved the concourse area though. Tarmack floor looks terrible.

I look on it a bit like I look at life, loads of memories there, spent a huge part of my life there, my God I have several mates ashes buried there but life goes on and moves forward, no regrets and keep moving forward, I have dreamed about the new stadium for years and at times thought it would never happen, I for one am not disappointed.

You can cherish your memories but you can't relive them, that is why you should always make the most of now, because now soon becomes then, and is just a memory. You can't live in the past no matter how good or bad it was.:ayatollah:

I miss Ninian Park but our new Stadium has much better facilities just compare the bogs with Ninian Park :D We had to move for the Club to grow and move forward and if it wasn't for Ridsdale and his mismanagement we could be earning serious money from the Stadium and should do in future,

The one thing that the new stadium as solved is the stupid confrontation we used to have out on Sloper Road when a load of chavs from each side would bounce up and down outside and threaten each other while costing the Club a fortune in policing costs. Never mind what you think of the Stadium you would have to agree we could never have had a police free game at Ninian Park :(

As Gwyn said life moves on and this is the here and now and we have to embrace it and enjoy it and make it ours :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

The Stadium isn't N.P... It doesn't take a genius to figure that one out! You're never going to get that sheer hostility ever again.....those types of stadia that create that atmosphere are gone in UK top leagues. I personally like the stadium, whats not to like other than some individuality that could be added. I believe it has not hindered the atmosphere at all...the fans have. There are no excuses, I watched Marseille hit unbelievable volumes the other day in the champions league and their stadium is roofless! IT IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!!! Simples.

That being said the fans are still in a transitional period and iv'e seen some constructive threads this season as how to improve it for next season. We must make sure we follow through and organise a singing stand or whatever the idea is. If we don't get a atmosphere up and running I fear the new generation of supporters wont even know how to sing for the lads or even think it strange and embarrassing!!??!! You laugh now! Cardiff are known for being a crowd with a personality, passion, pride. I hope we don't have a crowd without these important factors, its what makes the stadium.
