Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

[Gromit]

What's the protocol if, in a major oversight of your team's capabilities, you've booked the weekend of the play-offs away with your girlfriend in Edinburgh. Your girlfriend is running the marathon there on the Sunday and you are supporting her and having a romantic weekend with her?

'A friend' was wondering!

Sorry to say your friend does not deserve to go to Wembley for not having faith in his team.

The 22nd of May has been in all my electronic calendars for most of the season. I'd looked up the dates on the web last October. And the fa cup final date too. They let ne down there but all is forgiven.

If your girlfriend really loved you though, she'll have bought you a ticket as a surprise and said she understands.

Do you want me to talk to her for you?

Exactly.

I booked my holidays to coincide with PO dates.

Flew out day after last home game and got back last friday in time for first leg.

My dilemma is that Mrs 27 has just rung to ask if she can come to Wembley with me. As much as I love her I don't think she should have a ticket that a more deserving fan should have. I have already told her that my car is full and she'll have to go on the bus if she does come.

 

[ddraig]

you'd only leave her in the car when you got there anyway!

Will I ever live that down?

Never ever ever.

This is me just remembering it even now a couple of years later ----->

My girlfriend??? I said it was 'a friend'!

No!

A better man than me, shit, erm, i mean my friend.

get some mates in balaclavas to bundle you into the back of a van and kidnap you for the weekend

possibly a big screen in Roald Dahl Basin down bay...

because orange and blue really clash... that's just bizarre

My thoughts exactly when I read this - they won't let Blackpool play in orange against Cardiff's blue but they let Leicester play in black with a big blue 'sash' on it. IMO black is nearer to blue on the colour spectrum than orange.

Can anyone on U75 explain thsi 'logic' ?

 

[g force]

If it involves the FA there is no such thing as 'logic'

The black v the Blue was quite distinctively different when viewed at the stadium.

However I can imagine that it wasn't quite as distinctive on TV.

If only Gareth Bale had kept the faith and hung on before re-signing with Spurs.

I was looking forward to watching Giggs, Bellamy, Bale and Ramsey playing together for Cardiff next season.

Spacester I hope that links works and helps you, you will need to suss the routine for Monday mate

My 7000 logic is based on: we have 37,000 tickets. We have 16,000 ST holders this season and 14,000 so far for next. Leaves 7 for away members and Stadium Card holders (I think, from memory we have c1000 away members who are not ST or Ambos). After they are all satisfied, any remaining ones go on General next Weds to random freaks.

So there's the maths. It was easier when we used to play Rochdale and Bury

Good luck bro, you should be fine, is the bottom line but you need to time it right. To me it reads like you don't need the day off (if you can sneak phone calls or web at work, to be fair I don't know what your job is, if you do open heart surgery you may need a break, like)

Only a thousand away members? Surely there are thousands more stadium card holders.

I couldn't get the day off, so i'll be manning the web and phone from work, whilst my mate goes down to que. I am not missing this game.

It's NOT ORANGE.

Has anyone else seen this . Some kid in Oklahoma is nuts about the Bluebirds and posts on Youtube after games. The kid's enthusiasm is not to be faulted. They should fly him over for the final!

Absolutely fantastic report and the authoritative match report, no question.

I didn't have a problem on TV with the black and the blue. My real astonishment was that orange-shirted Blackpool had to change strips.

I still can't understand why.

Look - Birmingham City play in blue, so do Manchester City but they're different shades of the colour.

Blackpool play in orange shirts - the name of the shade may be tangerine but it's still orange.

 

[Placid Casual27]

I know what you mean but in this context youre wrong, it is tangerine, it is just a football fact, like Wolves in old gold

no, its not.

TD, I am trying for ya here

Wembley will look lovely with the colour contrast, unlike the last 3 FA Cup Finals. Your 3 blocks of tangerine should show up nice

You going? It's fucking mental, when you think about it. Bloomfield Road, love it there, proper football ground, innit
