" WHAT DEFINES A PLASTIC FAN ? "

But in your minds what is a plastic fan ?

my brother in law is the biggest plastic fan ive met...

ive offered him my season ticket many times when i cannot attend, and he replies he is busy, or hes not watching that rubbish if we have gone on a losing streak etc..

for yrs hes been telling me that he is getting a season ticket only to change his mind we when fail in the play offs.. i havnt spoken to him much in the last few months, however i know he is going to contact me to ask if i can get him a wembley ticket. which is also what he asked the last time...

he has only ever been to the new stadium once and that was on boxing day a yr or 2 ago when he had a ticket bought for him for xmas..

to me this is a plastic fan! p.s. he owns a older liverpool shirt from his school days, a blackburn shirt with shearer on the back and a newcastle shirt from quite a while back also!

WOW!!!

You defined a plastic well there: a fan that has been to see us more at Wembley than he does the CCS! especially when he lives a piss pot away from our stadium!

I think we are being harsh in a lot of ways. Anyone who doesnt follow Cardiff but now wants to go to wembley is definately a plastic....
But wen a 6 year old kid decides to support Liverpool/Man Utd/Chelsea etc then u cant exactly have a go calling them plastic, they are young kids and they want to support the best, just like they have toys such as Superman etc cos they are the heroes. Other kids would definately laugh at them if their favourite super hero was Shrek.
So perhaps they are being loyal by sticking by that club throughout their life.

Its just an opinion, but on the other hand I am getting well pissed off with Liverpool fans asking me for a ticket to wembley!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who has a superman toy is a plastic.

Batman is the true super hero.

I went to st bernadettes and st illtyds and was surrounded by ManUtd Liverpool Arsenal and Chelsea Plastics.
Kids would laugh at me when I said I supported Cardiff .
I have never and will never support any other team than Cardiff.
From bouncing around the BOB Bank to Lower Grandstand Grangend between 1996 and 2004 I was a season ticket holder ( prior to 96 attended games with the old man as I didn't have a job) in 2004 I moved to Edinburgh due to work and my wife being from that area, so I am unable to attend matches as regular as I used to ...
My last visit to Ninian Park was for the last ever Welsh derby there.. Whilst my mother (who is still a S.t.h) gave me her Wembely ticket for Playoff and Cup final. I have been to CCS 5times.

I would love to get a ticket and have asked Carl for two....
I don't expect one nor do I deserve one..
However my Daughters first birthday is in March and that holds sway over any football match for me.

As for my commitment... On my left shoulder is a tatto saying "born under a Grange end star 1980"
And on my right Calf it's says CCFC 4 life with a bluebird underneath...

Would you call me Plastic if I got to the cup Final?

A plastic fan is somebody who never goes to games. Ever. Even if they can comfortably afford to. Instead, watch their favourite PL side on TV. They have usually got every expensive package that you can dream of, but complain that going to a game is too expensive. They might well go to the club 'superstore' on a Thursday to buy the latest replica shirt, just to wear in the pub, or when they go shopping with the wife or girlfriend on a Saturday afternoon. Plastics are nearly always men. They say 'we' this and 'we' that. They 'pull our legs' because Swansea are in the Premier League. Not that they have ever seen Swansea play. The Jacks will have their plastics too. They continually belittle CCFC. But worst of all, the plastics always like egg-chasing, and lecture us about all the good things that 'soccer' can learn from egg-chasing. They have always got a ticket for whatever egg-chasing is going on in the Millenium Stadium. And they lecture us about egg-chasing being the 'national sport' in Wales. Lots of them about. They would not dream of supporting the Wales football team, even when they have got names like Rhodri, Gareth, Iolo etc.

Don't let the bas**rds get you down. We are Cardiff City, and we're going to Wembley .....

i can choose my mates, but i cant choose my family

A work colleague,when man'ure lost to man city,said"dont think i'll be supporting them again,they're not the same any more" he only watches MOTD

Someone who claims to be a Man Utd [or other] & says they will buy a Cardiff City season ticket if Cardiff City get promoted, only using it once!!!

Free cash for the club without the cost of hosting a fan. Result : P

lol at Rick. I dont think anyone has brought that up yet. Spot on! That annoys me more than anything. "if Cardiff go up ill get a season ticket"

Thing is, Swansea went up, so those people probably have a season ticket there instead!

Problem is, a season ticket at Swansea doesnt get u a ticket at Wembley. Sorry Swans, we've stolen your limelight once again and probably your fans too!!

I suppose it's what you feel at the end of the day. As long as you know your love for Cardiff is within then who gives a f**k what people say.

must be all you big city boys,everyone who was into football in the 70's in my school in the Rhondda were Cardiff fans.

That's because you never had a tv or a car in the whole street

You'd all fecking nick on the train or hang off the back of the lorry to get to cardiff on match day.

ALL TRUE !!!

I feel that I’m in an odd position. Here is my Cardiff History.

I was born and breed in Carmarthen and followed the egg during the internationals and I have fond memories of the family sitting down on Saturday afternoons to watch the Nations.

City made it to the FA Cup Final. It gets my interest. I move to Newport to start Uni. CCS is built and I see it from the train every time I go home.

2009-10
My surprise birthday gift is tickets for the first League game at CCS (Scunthorpe). I follow the Cardiff scores for the whole season and go down to the pub if the game is on TV. Don’t go to a game until the last home game of the season (Sheffield Wednesday). I buy a ticket for the playoff semis. I buy a shirt. I queue overnight for a Wembley ticket. I feel gutted when the game finishes 3-2.

2010-11
Along with the first round of the league cup, I only missed 3 home league games Coventry: Swine Flu. Watford: Tonsillitis. Doncaster: Work…literary begged my boss to find someone to cover for me, no one volunteered…bastards.

2011-12
I finish uni and return to Carmarthen. I want to move to Cardiff to follow city. Moved down here in November. Thanks to the fact I work Saturdays, I’ve only been able 2 games since I moved here. Blackburn and Palace in the cup (but saw Southampton when I was still in Carmarthen). Now all I want to do now is go back to Wembley

Would this be classed as a plastic? I was scared of the possibility for a while. Did I jump on the bandwagon?

In your minds what is a plastic fan ?

Someone who supports a club other than their local club.

I.e. a Newport resident supporting Cardiff

I was born in Caerphilly and I support Cardiff, does that mean I am one too?

Nah, means you have good sense

Also is there a team closer to Caerphilly than Cardiff?

I don't think so no

In your minds what is a plastic fan ?

My son in law is the perfect example of a plastic fan to me Annis, and to make things worse he "Supports" Liverpool but has never seen them live except on TV. Always had the latest Liverpool shirt when he was a teenager but never ever thought og going to watch his local club, why?, because at that time Liverpool were winning the League, Cup, European Cup at will. He named his son, my grandson, Owen after Michael Owen and has done his level best to turn him into a another plastic Liverpool fan.

But no grandson of mine is going to be a plastic Liverpool fan whilst there is breath in my body and Owen is now a Bluebird through and through. He has watched every Carling Cup match at home this season and watched every second, extra time penalties whatever. He is only 9 and wild horses couldn't drag him out of the stadium until the game is over.

Tonight I had to drop him off a home and his dad tried to wind him up about what Liverpool were going to do to us. Owen told him straight your not even a real Liverpool fan as you've never seen then live, Gary says your a plastic and he's right.

I'm a Bluebird Dad and I've watched every game but one this season and I've been to Watford. How many times have you watched Liverpool live this season.

That's my boy I thought tell the fecking plastic.

Gary
I LOVE Owen.

Great Post' lol; Annis, I'v been slaughtered ok mostly by plastics for announcing that I wont be going to Wembley as in all honesty I have had no interest in the Carling Cup and the last time I attended the CCS was to pay My Respects to MD. I'V also made no secret of my discontent of the Regime at CCFCor my dislike of the Club/Stewards treatment of Fans that want to make an atmosphere etc....Now that doesn't mean I dont give a sh't if City win or not, because I'll be a bag of nerves on the day and rooting from six yards (MY TV), reason being after seeing some of My friends miss out on the FA Cup through want of tickets and seeing certain People at that Final that had actually laughed that City lost a game's but Their be loved Tottnam had won was so disgusting I actually named and shamed Them, Mates or not, So for Me I would have to allow Myself to be like the very nob's I Knew at the last Final, And to honest I dont deserve to go if only for My lack of interest throughout the campaign, At this point I admire and envy Annis/Carl and certain other posters because you Guys actually campaigned, encouraged and urged Fans to attend and support the City's Cup campaign so much so that I hope the Club are aware of that and acknowledges that Fact. Also Was My suggestion that inviting Sam to the Final as a good will gesture that ridiculous seeing that the possibility of such events now and recent would't have been without Him.Cardiff City till I Die.
