I'll never forget walking onto the Bob Bank for the first time after moving from London in 1990, we beat Wrexham 5-0. I had been watching footie in the Premiership (it was 1st Divison then) and things were changing, clubs were becoming PLC's, terracing was being removed and fans were just becoming 'numbers'. Came to watch Cardiff and the buzz i got walking onto the Bob Bank is still with me today, admittingly it was half empty but that big terrace was what football was all about, working class people having a laugh (you had too some weeks!!) cracking jokes and all for just £3 I think it was. Happy Days. Anyone got any Bob Bank Memories?
