Moaning about something that is provided for free with a lot of people's hard work is quite ridiculous really.

You pretty much completely dominate Google for terms related to cardiff and forums, so you will always get hits.
But as you say it is free. And we are all more up to date for it. When my father finds out news on cardiff I always end up saying "Yes I knew about a week ago".

Not that i have a problem with either, or a problem with posts about other clubs (though quite why we would discuss who scunthorpe have signed is beyond me)
but "chairman to spend big" (man citys)
or "season ticket sales so far" (Bradford)
and many other examples of basically tricking people into reading the site. Of course, annis can do as he pleases.... but its not cool
