    This was the stand I went in to see my first professional football game 30 years ago this month. And it was a midweek night game, so you can imagine how intimidating it was for a 10 year old kid.

    Cheers,

    Funny thing is it’s still standing there intact, 5 years after the Gyp’s moved out!
    Time moves very slowly in the sleepy backwater that is Swansea as anyone who’s had the misfortune to go there will testify.
