Cardiff City 2008-09

Still in two minds over whether I want to do Sheff now.

For:
  • Last league match of the season
  • Party atmosphere
  • Its still an important game
  • Its my beloved Cardiff
  • Would be a good place for a saturday night booze up the night before

Against:
  • South Yorkshire Police
  • Voucher match
  • South Yorkshire police getting all mardy in the press beforehand
  • Sheff Utd holigans might come looking for us Saturday night
  • We're playing like muppets right now
  • Distance
  • Expense - What with hopefully the playoffs coming up and a Final to pay for fingers crossed.
  • South Yorkshire police
  • If we missed out on the playoffs it would be the most depressing long drive home and I just couldn't face it

Just got my tickets, sorry vouchers. More importantly, I've convinced my girlfriend that she wants to drive me and my mate who will have been up all night, and a guy i've just spoken to on the CCFC message board who needs a lift, from Leeds to a service station just outside Sheffield and then on to Hillsborough next Sunday morning. Win! :D
 
I've cancelled the hospitality I had booked because in cold light of day I couldnt really afford it, a holiday and a possible Wembley trip. At 9am yesterday morning I didnt feel like spending another penny on the heap of shit I saw in saturday but I';m coming round to a different way of thinking now. We will never sell out for sunday so I can still get a ticket and christ knows they'll need every bit of support we can muster. Its our duty to go, I hope to god we do it because losing will not make a good drive home, or more likely fuck up a good nite out in Sheff.

Not going to think about the negatives, just the positives above. I always try to make last away game of the season (and first, but that increasingly intrudes into the festival season) no matter what division we are in or where we are placed.

If you worry about losing or the old bill or the journey home you would never go anywhere.

Has to be said though, the £ pockets aint always up to it
 
So

(deep breath)

Sheff U are going to get automatic.

however it happens, and it will, we will somehow finish in the top 6, so our opponents will be Brum, Reading, Preston or Burnley.

I'm guessing we'll play Brum in the semi. (Quincy plays and destroys them)

and then Preston or Burnley at Wembley.

A glorious opportunity.

And we'll royally fuck it up.

:(

No don't worry, Reading will get automatic promotion.
 
Valencia pre-season game confirmed

So that is chase town, celtic and velencia ... had heard rumours we might have Aston Villa aswell, they were the first team to play in ninian park
 
Cheers to the Ipswich fan on here, they were great, and the Keep Standing solidarity was much appreciated on an awful, bittersweet day at the beautiful old place. Madness, and very, very City!

Paul, your report is magnificent mate

So I have this week been through the entire gamut of emotions known to mankind. Tears, desolation, inconsolable pessimism on Sat and Sun to nerves, shaking on the streets of London I think I need a sit down nerves, to today.

Pride, hope, optimism, determination. Pride at how far we have come,not just in the last 10 years from the bottom 4 of the entire Football League, I mean even in the last 12 months. Yes, a PNE/CAFC/ITFC week from hell but fuck me boys we had entire series-of-seasons-on-end-from-hell. We all know, because we were all there.

We have one game where we need a point to get to the play offs for the top flight of the Football League. I will be there, wired on adrenaline and hopefully a nice pint of northern ale, singing my heart out, holding on to strangers, imploring that beautiful side, your beloved, my beloved, our beloved, Bluebirds to one last effort to get us into the bloody thing.

Marius, please go. You are City. Fuck the feds, fuck the vouchers, fuck all of it. You are City.

We are City. And we have earned it, and we have to go. And we have to lift them. Because this is the best side we have ever had in our lifetimes. Because we have earned our stripes, at Hartlepool, Rochdale, Scarborough, Halifax, Crewe and Darlo. I loved them places, so did you. But I love this more.

With my little pick and shovel I'll be there, when the coal comes from the Rhondda, and the boys run out at Hillsborough, when the boys run out at Hillsborough, I'll be there.

Cheers boys, respect one and all
 
It's been a brown trousers week and still 3 days to wait until the agony is over.

I ain't going. Got work to do this weekend unfortunately.
I'm sure all those going will do us proud.
 
Yorkshire's finest will be adopting a zero tolerance policy towards alcohol at the RV point on Sunday.... on buses at least. :mad:

This is often put about to put people off but does not materialise, in my experience though this particular force have no limits when it comes to childishness. :rolleyes:
 
City have never been in the top flight during my entire lifetime. Never even close. I'm suprised to find how important it seems to me now (even though I know we'd lose every game 10-0). We may never get another chance...

But city were in the old first division 1960/62 and you were born on 28 October 1953 .... or are you not THE Phil Dwyer? :p
 
Clint, my experience of being in charge of bubble busses (Bristol City, Stoke away in play offs) teaches me you can let people have a beer but you MUST stop off before the RV to get rid of all cans etc

That was even busses coming from London! What a fucking shambles. My reading is SYP are well twitchy re Sunday, luckily (in one sense) we haven't sold 5500.

Marius good news, it's only 2 days, not 3
