Cardiff City 2008-09

[1927]

I've sadi all along that I felt eddie would have a say in our destiny this season. yesterdays goal didnt affect the result, but mark my words there will be a goal that has a major bearing on our season.

 

[Clint Iguana]

The Eddie phenomena has gone global!!

Doesnt that give you a warm feeling as a city fan?

I think up until last tuesday the eddie thing was an example of terrace irony.

"aristocratic Cardiff performance"

I like

 

[Clint Iguana]

You obviously not very observant then. I think the first game was Arsenal.

Just been sorting my photos of this season. Not intendeding to continue this debate, but it was not there for Arsenal. QPR must have been first (i missed that one)

I think up until last tuesday the eddie thing was an example of terrace irony.

It started like that but the funny thing is that when fans start enjoying singing a song (for whatever reason) they also get to love the player they are singing about by association. Until eventually it got to the stage where everyone really does genuinely want the boy to do well for us.

The usually thing fans do is destroy a player's confidence and ruin them as a player. This time we showed the man love, vote him MoM and next game with confidence high he scores a goal. Crowd support is a powerful thing and not to be underestimated. People often diss footy fans for thinking their involvement is somehow important to the result but sometimes it really is.

Its definitely been there longer than QPR. Must have been Forest.

Actually, was at QPR, Forest was the one i missed, so you could be right.

Hopefully it will only be used in emergency, I hope they dont intend pulling it accross when the Jacks come to play before we even have a chance to wave hello to them.

That was good. Like what going to football used to be like.

To be fair if you go on nthe Cardiff message boards they are being very complimentary about the Donny fans.

 

[Onket]

Yeah, they brought quite a lot. Could only really see the ones sat at the front though cos of the curtain.

Two sets of proper old school fans in a proper old school stadium = atmosphere win.

Terrace.

Terrace.

I'm going to *hate* losing the terracing at Cardiff.

Football is all about standing up on the terracing, walking about to meet up with your mates and watching the game from a spot that takes your fancy.

All seaters suck.

 

[Onket]

Well, that's what it used to be about.

unless you follow cardiff away .... we walk about to meet up with our mates and watch the game from a spot that takes our fancy, standing all the way through

i hear that the 'north/canton' stand in the new stadium will be more tolerant of standing than the rest of the ground

 

[Gromit]

Lets please not have the standing sitting debate on this thread please. I've seen it get ugly too many times.

But yeah the north stand will be the supposed singing / standing area the club hopes. Its as far away from the away fans as they can put them. Which is great for attracting away fans to the ground. You know families and that that don't really want to be called cunts for 90 mins whilst their kids are with em. But at the same time it will be sad to remove the banter.

Not officially, I hope.

Swearing is an integral part of the real football experience. If you don't want your kids to hear men swearing take them to the golf instead.

 

[Gromit]

Not officially, I hope.

The plan is to eliminate standing complaints.
If everyone knows don't go there if you really want to sit then no complaints and no officials from the FA investigating the complaints.

Officially though we will be a *cough cough* all seater. Even though at presentations officials from the club have informed people about one stand being um more 'tolerant' towards standing.

I don't disagree. Just explaining the club's theories.

They want to attract the cash rich types who mind their P's and Q's though don't they as that's where they think the big money is.

 

[JTG]

Nice. When Bristol City were close to going out of business, everyone connected with Bristol Rovers, from the chairman through to the tea lady and every single one of their fans were rubbing their hand together and poised to take our ground off us the moment we went under.

As it turned out, instead they had to wait another few years for Bristol Rugby Club to get into trouble and steal their ground off them.

Can't see that many City fans being so keen to see Rovers going bust. Where would be the sport in that? Jealousy is such an ugly thing.

Thanks, must have forgotten about how your lot queued up to help us out in 1986

Quite a partial view there not to mention factually incorrect

 

[Clint Iguana]

Should not make that much difference to the delicate ears, they will have to listen to the rest of the away fans calling us cunts instead... and most of them will join in!

If you want to go to Ipswich at home, last ever game at ninian park (we're going up automatic!), and you aint a season ticket holder, you need to get a watford at home ticket to qualify

We talked about it somey=time back in May before some or other match,, but did anyone ever find a copy of the eddie Eddie Eddie May rip offf of The Business' harry May?

I dont know what you are talking about, and the guy may ultimately have done us, but if it had not been for Sam we would nit be the club we are. We would not even, probably, be in the Championship, and we would certainly not be knocking on the door of the Premier League.

If they wanted, but they never will, put a statue of the man outside the new Ninina Park I would not disagree.

I know Sam still looks out for our results and still feels for us as a club, to a degree, and I hope he is proud of what he started!
