End of an Era

Gareth’s beloved Cardiff City are leaving their ground that has been their home since 1928 for a brand spanking new stadium that has been built across the road. A few weeks ago he went to their last ever match that will be played there and whilst I wasn’t there myself I have been assure that he wept a few manly nostalgic tears.

When they all got home from the match the talk of matches gone by continued and ended with the G and his brother collecting their various football shirts from around the house that they’ve been buying since they were little and continued the stroll down memory lane. Including such highlights as best game in this kit, most humiliating defeat in this one etc etc.

G had more than I would have thought possible! We certainly have quite a few at our house that didn’t make it into the montage below but I’m thinking that over the Summer before the gates get torn down we might take all his shirts over there and have a bit of a photo shoot in front of them. I have an image in my head of a fast flickering slide show where the only thing that changes is the shirt that G is wearing in the pictures. Whether he fancies stripping his shirt of in public a multitude of times is of course another matter!
