I'm a Swans fan, but not a mean-spirited one, so I think it is a shame you didn't make it to the play-offs. Would have been great if we had both Welsh clubs had made it, not least from the international team's point of view as Wales need as many players in the Premiership as possible. Ledley could make it at Premiership level and develop into an even better player for Wales I think. Hope Swansea and Cardiff can hold on to their best players and could back stronger next year. (Let's hope Wrexham have a better season as well - sort if out Deano!)

Got to say, I prefer Swansea of the two clubs. I really like your manager and philosophy at the moment. In fact, if Zola goes, I'd like us to nab him

(Just kidding, but he is a similar philosophy as zola IMO)

That's better, well done.

I sent that definition thing to my Swan mate...

 

[Bomber]

Hard Luck Blues !

I suspect the various constabularies aren't shedding any tears that Cardiff missed out what with Wolves, Brum going up and Stoke up there already and seemingly safe. I see we are in for Ledley again ! now you guys have to face the new stadium hiccups !! I reckon you'l get to the promised land one day, but it could be a way off for now !!

We never have, we never will play with a five man midfield.

And you can fuck off

All I know is that someone was playing with the space/time continuum.

I think it was Dr. Evil.

open day at ninian park on 16th

and for gluttons for punishment, the season review dvd now on sale as well

 

[Clint Iguana]

So.... where which away trip would you prefer next season... Millwall or Leeds?

 

[JTG]

I'd prefer you to have Scunthorpe to be fair and so would the rest of the entire world outside of Bermondsey, West Yorkshire and legoland

Go for it if I were you. End of an era indeed. Have you SEEN the new ground?? Fucking hell there's been some shit new stadiums in the last few years but this new Cardiff ground looks seriously embarrassing, the worst of the lot by far.

RIP Ninnian Park and football as we know it (from a Bristol City fan who will miss NP and my 'lively' visits there over the past 25 years ).

Have you??????

Well I've seen all the images, and it looks horrendous: http://www.cardiffcitystadium.co.uk/

Almost all modern grounds are shit, but it looks no worse than recent grounds on similar budgets.

I have been inside, trust me, it is going to be one of the best new grounds of this size in the country (i have been to a fair few others to compare).

I'll admit from the outside it looks dreadful, but the facilites inside are something else.

Having said that though, the proof will be in the eating, facilities mean nothing if there is no atmosphere and clearly that has yet to be tested.

flatpacked straight from IKEA

while you're here, have to say the designs for your new ground impressed me, in that they seem to have retained the feel of AG. Obv that means it'll be an horrendous shitehole but I'm sure you'll be very happy there and that's the main thing

Far more importantly, the ground hasn't been consigned to some hideous industrial estate at the far reaches of town, accessible only by bleak roads with ne'er a pub in sight.

 

[Gromit]

Although the club wouldn't mind the no pubs in sight bit as they want us to spend more in the ground in the swanky new bars.

If they forget that the price of beer is king that will be doomed to failure.

I did hear that the club are planning on building a right pub next to the ground, next to the new 'canton/north end' but outside of the turnstiles. Not sure if this will materialise.

You cannot 'create' an atmosphere though, these things always happen organically, so i will stick to the kings for now.

Purse has been given the elbow from City.

This season he played 26 times and was sent off twice. Thanks for that, Pursey.

He had is moments and served us well, but i think this is the right decision.

To anyone who has been inside the stadium: I'm 6'6', if I stand up to watch the match, will the person behind me be able to see? What's the gradient like?

Well, it's highly unlikely isn't it! You won't have enough leg room either.

Plenty of leg room so you will be able so slide down a bit. Gradient not very steep, but it depends which part of the ground. Behind goals steeper than the sides
