I then get to Cardiff about 11.30am and walk down to go and meet friends in the Sand Martin by the stadium until kick off
I’m going to the match this Saturday, but will have to go straight to the stadium due to the early kick off.

Defo a mouse mate! Trouble is we park in the stadium Carpark so we have to drive down together. Usually end up in a row on the way down too lol! Sounds like a comedy show. She gets really impatient in the Carpark too and has been known to hoot and shout at people. You can now understand why I’m the mouse! Lol.
No seriously though, drive down, if have time have a look in the shop and have a nose in the canton stand band.

Drive down to Wales (to in-laws) following work on Friday. Saturday train in to Cardiff and meet mate at his flat. Crack open a beer. Catch up on usual shite. Off for a beer and a burger. Then late taxi to stadium just before kick off.
Should probably try and be a bit more sociable with other fans before kick off. Infact, gonna make an effort to try and be this season. So any suggestions welcome.

Thanks! I was reminiscing on when my Gransha took me down before he died in 1996 and was thinking how we always did the same things at the same times before games. It was much easier back then though as you knew where you stood with kick off times. I bet a lot of fans have similar memories.
As a suggestion, I’m up for getting the singing going in the Canton Hotel (opposite the Ivor Davies) on the Saturday 3pm games (any time after midday) if there’s enough interest. Anyone up for this?
