A group of Cardiff City supporters/with Team on Plane '

A group of Cardiff City supporters will travel to Sunderland on the team flight, Neil Warnock has revealed.

The Bluebirds take on the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon, with Warnock delighted to have his request for the players to fly to the north east accepted by the club's hierarchy.

And he revealed at his weekly press conference that nine Cardiff fans — who contribute to the club with regular sponsorship — will also be treated to a fast-track travel service as well as a Q & A session with the boss. :bluebird: :bluebird:






NEIL WARNOCK:

"We’ve got nine fans travelling with us and I’ll be having a Q&A session with them at the hotel. It is important that we give something back to these sponsors rather than just take the money off them and give nothing back. I believe you have to give value for money. If you do that then sponsors will come back and give you even more money."

Warnock explains:

"We are taking a number of fans with us and they are contributing to the flight. We are doing our bit to try to help the club to get some of the locals to come with us. There are two or three games after Christmas to which I’d like to fly as well."

"We will be there in an hour and we wouldn’t even be at Bristol on a coach. Unless we diverted around Newport. I have been in Newport more than I have been in Cardiff since I’ve been here! You might just as well turn off your Sat Nav and follow a van that you fancy is going to motorway."

"Four out of five days on the motorway for our games against Fulham and then Preston. I looked at the other team;s fixtures and nobody had trips like us. I know Fulham isn’t that far, but we didn’t get back until 11pm and then we had to drive home.
We were then on the bus again for six hojurs on the Monday morning. At this level you want to take every opportunity you can to benefit the squad."

"We have no excuses at Sunderland. We can’t have another Preston performance and say the travelling killed us because they are travelling first class. All credit to the honours and it is great for me."

Certainly good PR for the club who need their sponsors on-side and a great experience for those travelling! :thumbright:

Hope everyone on the plane has a great time and come home happy! ;) :ayatollah:
