Have been travelling away for thirty years and apart from wembley dont think i have ever ended up in my allocated seat.

The emerites I did. Though we could have sat elsewhere if we'd made the effort.

I forget the other two but remember it wasn't the big kind of club you'd expect it from and it took everyone completely by surprise.
 
Only 26 minutes left to last out without selling anyone. Only problem now is Ross rumoured to be going to Celtic who have until midnight to strike a deal. Lets just hope DJ wasn't joking about telling all his players to turn their phones off until tomorrow!!
 
General Meeting of Shareholders

On Wednesday 27 January, Cardiff City Supporters’ Trust Secretary Geraint Jones received a letter from Cardiff City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd Secretary Alan Whiteley in reply to the Trust’s recent request for a General Meeting of the company.

Mr Whiteley confirmed that the company’s directors are intending to call a General Meeting at some point in the near future. However, no actual date was specified for this meeting.

Therefore, having carefully considered the contents of Mr Whiteley’s letter during an emergency meeting on Thursday evening, the Trust’s board have unanimously voted to press ahead with the plans to make a formal call for a General Meeting of the company’s shareholders at the earliest opportunity.

As a result of this decision, a letter will be going out to all Cardiff City Football Club (Holdings) Ltd shareholders this weekend, while the Trust’s board will continue to work towards gathering the levels of support necessary to call for such a meeting. Members will be kept informed of all developments in due course.

Open Supporters’ Trust Meeting

The Supporters Trust board will be hosting an Open Meeting at the Duke of Clarence public house in Canton, Cardiff, on Monday evening (01/02/10, start time: 7:30pm).

The main items on the agenda will, of course, be the current off-field situation at the football club and the Trust’s attempt to call a General Meeting of shareholders. During an open forum, members will be given an opportunity to express their opinions on the present state of affairs at Cardiff City and the Trust’s General Meeting campaign.

Non-members are also welcome to attend the meeting and forms will be available for those fans who wish to sign up with the Trust on the night.

Many thanks for your continued support. It is very much appreciated.

Dave Sugarman
Membership Secretary

Well we seem to have manouvered our way thru the first obstacle of the month, no players lost during transfer window, which by my reckoning makes us stronger tonight than we could have hoped for even if we had brought players in! I work on the basis that if we were honest we thought Ross and Matthews were probably leaving and any replacements prob would not have been as good. In addition we have recently discovered a welath of talent that we didnt know we had, and McPhail should be back this week. All in all I am happier now than I was a month ago. Now just Newcastel, Chelsea and the taxman to get round, which we should do, my only concern is if DJ wins MotM!!!
 
Anybody driving up to Chelsea. I'm thinking park in Wimbledon and get tube to Fulham Broadway. Anyone got a better suggestion?
 
Full car soz.

Well our trick if you are doing there and back in the same day is to park around Acton Town and get the tube in.

Change at Earls Court for Fullham Broadway.

So when everyone is struggling to drive back through London you wiz to near the start of the M4 by tube.

We've used South Acton before now too but i think there are line problems atm. Its swings and round-abouts either way. Acton Town is better for trains but South Acton is better for parking.
 
I somehow got a ticket for Chelsea, was sorted out by a mate who is now my hero. :D

No players leaving this month is a big big bonus, lets just hope they all stay fit and sharp until the seasons end.

For me it is a RAMS style luxury coach picking me up at the end of the street, then whisked up the M4 with a crate of apple based refreshements and herbal remedies. I will be waited on by hairy arsed maidens who will change my bin bag every time it starts to overflow.

Then, after a few post match celebratory shandies, I will be whisked back down the M4 to Gods Country and poured out of the bus at the end of my street.

;)

We're gonna stay in London after the game to watch Wales give the Scots a hammering. Plus the fact Mrs27 is going shopping in the smoke while we are at match.
 
Coach space not needed? Coach parking incorporated into the ground.
Hope thats not ground that we one day hopefully will need to add additional tiers.

CMB to take over the club's House of Sport obligation.
What if they then decide to fold up the company and re-open under a difference guise. That old trick. What happens to that obligation?

Can CMB really make their money back from running the House of Sport? Even without having to pay rent by trading office space to the council.

Otherwise it all seems pretty reasonable.
 
John Terry will not be lining up against us at on the 13th. He is is reported to be flying to Dubai next weekend for showdown talks with his wife.

he has allegedly stated that he hopes it is a draw becasue he would love a trip to cardiff. Apparently he likes cumming over the Bridge




:facepalm: :rolleyes: :hmm:
 
Cardiff City to sell some ground

BBC article up now that should be easier to read
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/8494626.stm

bbc said:
BBC sports reporter Rob Phillips said the agreement would raise finance for Cardiff City at an ideal time for the club.
"Highly-placed club sources have told me they're delighted and highly grateful to the council for what they've done," he said.
"Because this was in the offing, they didn't have to sell a player in the transfer window to raise money for the winding-up order."
'Beneficial arrangement'
Council leader Rodney Berman said: "Today's decision represents the best way forward for both the club and the Council.
"I also want to make it clear this is a beneficial arrangement and there is no question of the taxpayer bailing out the club.
 
1927 is pleased to announce ticket allocation details for his spare ticket for the upcoming game against Chelsea. First dibs will be given to posters with 90,000 posts or more! I wonder if Canuck will want a ticket!

Good luck to anyone that needs one.

The Ridler narrowly escapes a good probing
:hmm:

WESTERN MAIL CARDIFF council yesterday refused an official demand for further scrutiny of the Bluebirds’ crucial land sale, arguing a delay would “prejudice the council”.

The football club is facing a winding up order in the High Court next Wednesday and has told the local authority, which will receive 40% of the land value, that the sale of the plot is urgent.

Jayne Cowan, the councillor for Rhiwbina, yesterday made an official request under the council’s “call-in” procedure – which was refused five hours later – for the last-minute deal to be studied by the city’s cross-party economy and culture scrutiny committee before it was approved.

She argued that there had not been enough time to understand in detail the implications for the city’s taxpayers of the sale of the £1.8m plot, which has been valued at significantly below its estimated value before the 2007 financial crisis.
 
basically if they did have the call in then there would be no chance of the taxman being paid next week
not making a judgement either way me, oh no
 
5 mins come on!
e2a please dont tell me we have to listen to a geordie commentator... :facepalm:

McPhail!
