This cache was placed as a tribute to "the old Cardiff City", after recent changes have changed the club drastically, for better or worse. The cache is a tribute to the old ground, Ninian Park, which was closed in 2009 - one year before its centenary year, when Cardiff City moved to the new Cardiff City Stadium, opposite. Ninian Park hosted a number of Wales international fixtures, including the Wales v Scotalnd World Cup qualifier on 10 September 1985, at which Scotland manager Jock Stein collapsed and died.
The original gates of Ninian Park can be found a short walk from the cache, on the "City Walk", a series of memorial stones/bricks made into a walkway by the club to give fans an opportunity to commemorate fans who have died - as well as the memorial garden,which was set up by the Cardiff City Supporters Trust in 2012.
Ninian Park was used for numerous other events including:
- Hosting numerous Wales international matches
- As part of his Rastaman Vibration Tour, Bob Marley staged a concert at the ground on 19 June 1976.
- Pope John Paul held a rally here during his visit to the United Kingdom in 1982.
- During the 1958 Commonwealth Games it hosted the show-jumping championships.
- Cardiff Rugby Club played at the ground twice between 1960-1961 due to their ground not having floodlights, and the Cardiff City Blue Dragons rugby league team used the ground as their home between 1981 and 1984.
- The Welsh national rugby league team, the Wales Dragons, used Ninian Park as one of its home venues.
This cache has a "brother" the other side of the stadium, GC code: GC48XD5 The cache itself is a small, plastic tub, containing a log book but no pen/cil (don't forget to bring your own) and room for small TBs / swag. There will be an obvious need for stealth, especially on match days as there are usually flag stands and raffle ticket sellers nearby, as well as fans. There is also a TB for the FTF.
