Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

Thanks for that, really useful

Question for ya. remember last season we kept saying we could smell the Premiership, well, as it obv wasnt the Prem what the fuck was it?

I went to the zoo the other day. While walking around I could smell something familiar. It kept wafting tantalisingly under my nostrils. I raced around trying to find out where it was coming from. I must have sniffed a 100 different animals.

As I was about to give up and leave the waft got stronger and I was drawn to a small field. In the corner of this field standing forlornly was an old moth-eaten camel. I snuck over the fence and approached. He had the saddest eyes I've ever seen. His stale, sweaty, sour odour was unmistakeable.

So, when the wind's in the right direction and weather conditions are favourable what we were smelling was not the premiership at all it was a sad, lonely old camel in the corner of a small field.

A camel called Clive.
 
Seeing as we were the only two who seemed to have the odur in our nostrils I reckon it was probably odour d'daiper!
 
Wayne, wayne, wayne

where ya going?

I know he fucked off in a shit manner last season, but he is a bloody great player and he would be a great asset. If we had kept him last season we would be watching Preliership football this season. Will he really come tho?

I really don't think so.

It's the silly season innit.

Someone's coming tho

Oh yes,

Someone's coming.

:)
 
A rumour I've heard is:

Ledley out (to Stoke for 5 mil)
Koumas and Viduka in.

I can't see DJ and JK getting on though.
 
So is it safe to assume we can get in by paying at the gate tonight?


not quite 'on the gate', the turnstiles are going to be automatic now .. you have to buy a stadium swipe card from the shop, but i think you will be ok to pay 'on the night' as it were.

Thanks. I hope you're right, I'd feel a bit daft not getting in to see bloody Chasetown...
 
Wow. mY first experince of the new stadium and its awesome. only 5700 in tonight, and 3k of thos were in the non signing grandsatnd, but when the rest made a noise it filled the stadium. Close your eyes and you could have been in a capacity NP. Put 20k in that stadium and oppositions will be cacking themselves.

Of the palyers on display, Klimpl looks fucking huge.

On the subject of big men can someone shed some light on Josh Magennis, the guy that was the reserve keeper, and was playing up front and scored tonite!!!!!Looks useful.

Gerard? Hudson? Quinn?

What's the verdict?
 
That roof does hold the sound in something awesome.

My view is brill but sadly I could indeed hear Dai Hunt from four rows back.

13 people who'd been sat near him moved at half time. Seriously there was a big empty space around him after half time.

I'm not going to make any judgements on the players as they didn't exactly face championship standard players.
My exception to that was our new keeper. He made some very good saves and looked pretty darn good.

I have to praise Chasetown for firstly coming out with a banner that read:
"We have to say
Cardiff City are Magic"

Then after being soundly beaten 4-0 they came and applauded the Cardiff fans and did the ayatollah before going over to their own fans.

Nicer guests you couldn't ask for. Their keeper even did the ayatollah for us when he was sub'd.
 
The new stadium is very nice. A bit corporate in style and tone--they even have special "corporate entrances"--but still gets the job done.

That Adam Matthews looked excellent, so did Ledley (as you might expect since he won't be with us much longer). Chasetown's goalie spent most of the time doing the Ayatollah, don't know what was up with that.

I sat just in front of Neil Kinnock, Risdale and Jones. Kinnock still accompanied by the Mystery Blonde, Risdale's lost about 6 stone over the summer.

In front of me was a row of WAGS, average age: sixteen, and that's being kind. In front of them were the youth team, many of whom are Somali, so I guess they've been recruiting locally.

Bars weren't open yet.

No light to shed, but he was good, and very keen--shouting for the ball throughout the game.
 
What the fuck was I drinking then, and why do I have a headache this morning?

The Grandstand was only half finished. I went for a wander at half-time, and jumped on the lift up to the different floors. The third and fourth floors are still building sites. So the bars weren't open, though the corporate hospitality room was packed. Maybe you got in there somehow?

Yeah we got seats on the top floor in front of the bar area, but that wasnt finished. We had a meal before game, courtesy of club who are trying to entice people to book for other games. Were you in the corpoarates or did you just take a wander in?

I didn't actually get in, I got turned away. Could probably have blagged it, but it didn't seem worth it really. So I just wandered around the deserted floors...
 
Swipe Card Query

Right.... not been down for a game yet. Thinking of going down for celtic.

How does this card system work? :confused:

I have a season ticket, but that obviously does not cover me. Do i have to top up my season ticket or get a completely different card? :hmm:

also..... how am i fixed when i cant make it, is there anyone checking the person using my card is me (from the photo on the card)? :eek:
 
I'd like to know about the card system as well. I could only catch a few games a season, do I get a normal ticket or will I get a card?

Top up in advance. Leave it too late and you'll have to get a paper ticket which has a bar code it scans.
