Ninian Park Gates, Cardiff City Stadium

In 2009, Cardiff City moved into their new home, Cardiff City stadium. One reminder of their former home is pictured above, the gates of Ninian Park, home for Cardiff City from 1910 until the ground’s demolition in 2009. We looked at Ninian Park’s demolition in pictures a couple of years ago.

Ninian Park’s historic gates were saved and installed at the new stadium. Apparently, one of the bluebirds on the gates had been stolen during Ninian Park’s final days, but a replica was made from the remaining bluebird.
