" Biggest home crowd since? "

Biggest Crowd since the old Ninian Park days, I really wish the club never got rid off our home at the Ninian Park, they could still fingers crossed return to the stadium, with a few new stands to bring in more people, the atmosphere was electric and wish even if it is a 00.01% chance of it returning, without question I would absolutely love the return of the stadium

Maybe I misread but are you suggesting a return to Ninian Park is still on the cards?

yep

That’s how I read it and if he’s saying that then he’s more off his trolly than I first thought.

In case he hasn’t noticed, there’s a house estate on there now. What’s he thinking is going to happen? Evict everyone from the houses they bought to rebuild Ninian Park II?

Unbeliveable Jeff.

I was at the Arsenal game in 1968 - my first full season watching. I missed the Hereford game in 1976 as I had broken my leg playing rugby. But I was there for the Spurs and Everton games in 1977.

The Wrexham game in that cup run remains one of my all time favourite games at Ninian park. Larger crowd than for Tottenham although it was the 4th round.

Maybe he's hoping that all the demolished bricks, rubble and steels are being held in storage somewhere ready for it all to be rebuilt at the St Fagans museum.

This guy is either short of a few brain cells or on a permanent wind up and my money is on the first explanation. His posts and ‘thoughts’ are nonsensical.
One of his latest is that we should go in for Harry Winks the Spurs and England midfielder.

I did and that’s 10 mins of my life I can’t ever get back. He try’s though.

Help me out, been watching city 31 years and this will be biggest in my time. So city fans when was the last crowd that eclipsed the crowd we will get Sunday?

Embrace fellow city fans, the ccs will be rocking come 4pm Sunday. I hear the comments that people are only coming to watch Man City, a few maybe but the majority are coming to watch a big event, a great occasion with a cracking atmosphere and clinging to a glimmer of hope that their team Cardiff city can cause an upset.

Support the boys.

I'm going to watch man c why shouldn't I? But will sopport the city see city every other week may not get to see such a game for years!

Absolutely agree. I am as well.
What’s wrong in wanting to watch the opposition? I also went to the Mansfield game but didn’t really go to watch them!

I didn't go Mansfield even though don't pay for fa tickets! Hard to travel for nearly 3hrs to a reserve game
Suspect 99.9% of fans going to see man c

I must be in the 0.1% as I'm going to watch my beloved Cardiff City who just happen to be playing a top Premier League team in the FA Cup 4th Round

I went to the Mansfield FA cup game and also the Burton Carabao Cup game in August, so I'm consistent in my support of the club and whilst I will enjoy the 'challenge' on Sunday and maybe even appreciate the quality of the opposition players, I will be there to support Cardiff City FC first, last and foremost as always!

I suspect there are others (probably more that 0.1%) who feel the same!

Chris, it’s never easy to understand the aliens posts on here but to be fair I understand what he means on this occasion (I think!)
Of course, I’m going to watch the City as I did against Mansfield and all other home games but I’m also going to watch the opposition with a chance to see some world class players.
This in no way distracts from my support and the will for Cardiff to win!
I imagine the alien is the same (but you never know mate!!!)

Paul, you're right

My point was that some of us are Cardiff City to the core no matter who they're playing and don't pick and choose the games we attend. However, it will certainly be good to see how some of the world's best players operate; and Man Citeh should put on a decent show, too!

not sure about people there just to see the opposition..

in this case its easy to say that because Man City are probably the best team in the country , but they were not the last time we knocked them out and if anything the interest was higher then. other notable crowd surges..Crystal Palace last game of season needing a point to stay up {26k, more than double any other crowd that season } ..Hereford in the old div 3 . {35k official but probably much more }...there are other examples ...these were not glamour games with superstars.
i think its more a case of not wanting to miss something special from a Cardiff perspective..should it happen.

I think Sam is ok. He is a fan and that's the main thing, and he is not in the slightest bit irritating, unlike that Jack idiot with a thousand different user names. Strange views on times, but harmless enough. I enjoy his posts.

For some reason I distinctly recall the Arsenal centre back Ian Ure was playing! Strange the odd details that stick in the memory.
