" 1,800 Cardiff City fans / but travel issues "

Postby worcester_ccfc » Fri Nov 29, 2024 11:34 pm

There will be 1,800 Cardiff City fans at Coventry.

But there are travel issues for those planning on going by train.

Cross Country trains have contacted our club's SLO to say there is likely to be major disruption at late notice on the route from Cardiff Central to Birmingham New Street.

At time of writing, the following trains between Cardiff and Birmingham have already been cancelled with further late cancellations possible:


8.45am
9.45am
10.45am
11.45am

Believe its because of staff shortages.. something that's getting common on the trains.... out of 3 Saturdays I caught train because of problems I only paid £24 out of a total £141 due to compensation being paid.

It's been suggested that the train companies don't care about poor performance anymore because they know they'll be brought into public ownership at the end of their current contract.

They've been told that will happen earlier if they have consistent poor performance, but the train companies know it's happening at some point anyway.

To be fair, the train companies have been awful for a number of years so something like this was always coming down the track.... My attempt at a bad joke :lol:

Considering everything that’s going on at our club that is absolutely fantastic support. I hope the players appreciate it and run their bollocks off. No doubt Dalman and Choo will also be there :shock:

We all like to think that our support can make a difference to how our team performs - that our cheers and chants will inspire the players to raise their game and perform to a higher level than they would without that support.

To become that mythical "twelfth man" who can make the difference between winning and losing.

Not sure I agree though. I've been to away games with less than 100 City fans where the team have played great and also been to away games with thousands of City fans where the performance on the pitch has been shocking, despite the brilliant away support.

Well done to all those travelling today - I have no doubt you'll be loud and proud as always.

I'm just not so confident that your fantastic support will inspire the players as much as we hope it will.

On my way now, was surprised we sold that many.

A lot more than they deserve.

Can't see us winning but come on City :bluebird:
