Stradey Cat

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Bit of a strange one. Was on the train yesterday wearing a Scarlets t shirt when a Scottish guy a few seats along seeing the logo engaged me in conversation. Apparently he had been at  a Llanelli v Australia game at Stradey many years ago.He remembers being quite drunk and at the end of the game making off with an iron cat which he claimed was quite a feature there at the time and kept it in his garden for several years until it rusted away . I have no recollection of a ferrous feline but he sounded pretty sure so just thought I would mention it on here just incase anyone can shed any light on whether any basis to his claim or if it was just a wind up.
