UPDATED ' ASTON VILLA FANS COMING TO CARDIFF '

Great news, looks like we have sold 16K so far, with 2 more days to go and 3/4 K walk ups the crowd should be around 26/27k which is what most of us predicted.

Bobby, with Villa's fantastic away support, City should get at least 26,000 for this game

22-23k sold today Annis hopefully 27 with walk ups that would be great

Neil Warnock:"I would not give them any,our fans should turn up if they've got any feelings for the club "


On Aston Villa's allocation


NEIL WARNOCK:



"We gave them a few thousand tickets - not my idea - but if it was my decision I wouldn’t give them any"

" I’d like our supporters to bring a friend get it up to 25k mark, it’s a nice time of the year, they’re going to get 100% effort from my team, and when you see the big money spendings like John Terry to come in"

"Even if you’ve not seen us before should come. You can tell around the city and other areas they’re coming back to the club. Speaking to Vincent and Mehmet and Ken, I stressed how important it is we’re all together and I’m enjoying it at the moment.”


“If they’ve got any feelings for the club, now’s the time to come on board and turning up"



"Villa will have nearly 5,000 fans here"



What can new fans that haven't seen Cardiff before expect from your side?

NEIL WARNOCK:

“They would get value for money. If they’ve got any feelings for the club, now’s the time to come on board. We need everybody. As the bookies say, we’re in the bottom half, but when you get 20,000 fans behind you…., Villa will make a right racket and we’ve got to match that, as we did against them around Christmas last year, but I think we can do even better. I think they know now it’s not just a one-off and we’re talking a good game, I think they know they’re going to get good value for money, whatever the result, and they can be proud of their own club."


"I think that’s what I’m delighted about in, putting the pride back in the club and getting everybody behind us. The more people through the turnstiles the better for us.”





"I thrive on fans wanting value for money and triers, and I think that’s what they’ve got now, they’ve got triers. We have got quite a bit of ability as well but people don’t give as much credit for, but I’m not too bothered about that, we can keep that under wraps for now. recognise that as much.”

I speak to plenty of cardiff fans through my work in Cardiff, and they all say they stopped going when we turned red, but this season are returning as they are feeling the buzz again.
