Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

bad luck, bright sunshine here in bristol but i'm guessing no undersoil heating, and the big stands shading the pitch at ashton gate means the pitch is still rock hard.

Already its looking like a not bad year and with the number of Prem clubs out or going out in next round it will open up for a lesser club to have a decent run I'm sure. Don't worry tho, its our year, we always win the cup two seasons after losing in the final!!:D
 
We're a very difficult side to beat. And Cardiff are the sort of team who can be easily sussed out.

I'm half expecting Bristol to knock you tbh, and for us to beat them in the 4th round.

A disappointing draw all round!
 
I'd like to disagree with you but we are easy to suss out. 5 across the middle and the game is yours.

We might be 4th ATM but we are showing signs of imminent colapse.

So I'm fine with losing to Bristol if we can concentrate on the league.

The quick purchase of two quality midfielders could change all this. But will we get them is the worry?
 
Live statement by Ridsdale at 1pm on Radio Wales, there are rumours that he will announce we have gone into administration!!

something along these lines

"HMRC booked a back stop date of 10 February 2010 to go back to court if, for any reason, we had not been able to fulfil our obligations to pay by the end of January.

"We have every confidence that all monies owing to HMRC will have been repaid by the end of January."

The Football League have refused to comment on whether the club are under a transfer embargo due to the apparent financial concerns around Cardiff City.

Is this just down to gross mismanagement? Why invest in the sums we did last summer if we can't afford to pay the taxman. I don't get it. :confused:

The story is that the outfitting of the stadium cost us a lot more than we expected. We paid that bill and gave the taxman the run around rather than pay the taxman and give the private companies the run around (and possibly not have gotten fitted out).

I can't believe this is the case. £7m over budget, boolocks.

Laing O'Rourke built the stadium and surely the price would have included all the fitting out!! How much fitting out was there anyway, all the concessions and the kitchens, loung areas etc. are down to Compass. Apart from that it sonly offices and Laings would have been doing that anyway. LOR must have been on a maximmum price so any overspend would be down to them.

I do know tho that Steve Borley's company is owed £1.5 million and that is why the undersoil heating wasn't working last month cos they refused to connect it up!
