Lets really be honest, we need to stop making excuses for ourselves,its starting to look pathetic.
When we were in the Premier League, it did not matter if it was live on tv,night game,early kick off we sold out for virtually every away game and I know,you know and everyone else knows if you really want to go,you will make it,except for personal ties or family reasons etc.
Very very cheap to share cars thats what many many are doing including us![]()

How come virtually every club sells out for their away local derby games,from Non League,to Div 1,2,Championship ect?
How do they know who is in independent?
I went on Carls coach last year and we just rolled up when we wanted, a police motorbike took us in one mile before and the Supporters groups are doing exactly the same this year![]()

Just spoke to Vince, All the Bristol City coaches that came to Cardiff were escorted in, the rest of their fans came by cars,minibuses and train.

Totally agree with You Annis, but like I said yesterday them days are long gone and that is also a fact. Actually driving Saturday, takes me about 45 mins to Ashton gate. Even last year with the RV it was simple, few beers and back in the pub in the village 3.15 and home for final score.![]()
While I appreciate some have issues with times etc, personally never made a difference to me what time ko is. Could play at 5 am. If am going am going. Boro away in the quarters we left at 4am.

Annis, you said there were no restrictions, i'm just pointing out to you that there are.
I'm not making any excuses, I don't care if we take 500 or 5,000 to be perfectly honest.

All clubs that come to Cardiff nowadays with fans on coaches have to accept to be escorted in by our police.
We use to have it at every away game,now 95% of clubs we visit now don't make us![]()
But honestly Vince and co are volunteering to be escorted the last mile so their coaches are not attacked,if you call that restriction, well thats your opinion, I don't see it as one.
I was one of the worst on Carls coaches to demand the police to stop RVs at away games as it was ruining our away days times/places etc way out.
Thankfully its now stopped.
In my opinion,to be honest this match should of been sold out ages ago.

What I find intriguing is that hardly any tickets have been sold since Sunday, the way that played out with the performance and the Managers comment's after the game might have had a bigger impact on our wider fan base than we realise.

I want to be there like all Cardiff city fans but I coach kiss football, Saturday morning I'll be up the pitches putting up nets etc so 30 kids can play, kick off at 10,referee the game then when it finishes(11am) I'll spend another 45minutes taking down nets, teamtalk, cleaning changing rooms.
Sorry that makes me a shit fan maybe I should tell the kids to feck off so I've got no excuses and I can then stand alongside super fans like yourself.

No they don't and as you have seen when most clubs times have changed for derby games, they all still sell out as I have put on here many times.
