Don’t blame me for your lack of rhino in Cardiff, I suspect it is the Welsh singing that scared them off

I’m guessing you’re the one on the left facing the picture. It’s hard to make out. Still so few people. Is it because you’re early? Do they all flood in when it starts?

Not exactly overcrowded with onlookers in that photo. Maybe everyone else was bored and went home?

The sensible folk are at the other end.It’s warmer!

Not this one!:grinning:

I once told a friend from Swindon,when Glamorgan were playing at Rodney Parade,that the far end was known as ‘the power station end’.
He looked at me blankly,it having been demolished!
We did the cricket club a favour when we sold the RP cricket ground-although they didn’t think so at the time!
