I am not saying thats the case. The debate at the time was at what point do people say that have been supporting the club (a) their first ever game or (b) since they started watching the club regularly.

And for the record Gwyn played Rugby for more than 'a couple of years'.


I have watched Cardiff for 46 seasons, the majority of them as a season ticket holder, and over that period on average I take in at least 20 away games a year.

During that period of 46 years I have done many things. I was a member and have even captained the British Judo team and fought all over the world, I played rugby at quite a high level, but even at the peak of the rugby playing years which incidentally I didn't start playing until I was around 29, I still managed to see loads of games home and away, lot's of City games are played at times other than 3 pm on a Saturday, but if it makes your argument seem better, then you can willingly describe me as a plastic supporter if it helps. 8-)

Haven't put words in your mouth, you do a better job than I ever could in making yourself look silly, i haven't said you have called me a plastic, i said if it helps your argument9Whatever it is) then you can, which part was putting words in your mouth, and what is the follow up to the contact with Annis regarding the two games, or is that your way of hoping no one notices. :lol: :lol:

Are you saying Annis was lying, and let's be honest when they show you evidence you still try and deny and lie your way out of things, remember the press reports. Even when your are caught red handed you still can't accept the truth. :lol:

Gwyn, one thing I will miss about Angry losing his seat is his weekly appearance in the Merthyr Express.

Comedy gold. Wether it be them exposing him or him hitting back. Always great value. :lol:

They had a photo on file of him looking "remorseful" which had to be the most used pic from the archives by some distance. :lol:

He should have got in as MP, that would have put Merthyr on the map, house of Commons live would have record viewing figures, Celebrity Big Brother, Adam in the Jungle, there is a media machine waiting for him, if only those benefit scroungers and Poles he slated in the Gurnos had voted for him, don't worry about TOWIE and Geordie Shore, Gurnos nights would have had top billing, if your doors kicked in and your window's smashed, who can you call, call Adam, If your bins and are full and your pavements cracked, who can you call call Adam.

All he needed in the General election was a 99% swing to Ukip and the world would have been is oyster, don't worry about bragging over the fifty two grand he made from expenses, as he said no one does anything for nothing, well we know Adam doesn't, think of the expenses he could have claimed as an MP, First home in the Gurnos, second home in Pant and a holiday caravan on the gypsy site, if only he could have had more support than the 0.5% of the electorate to see it from his way of thinking.

Gwyn I dont want to be too harsh on him. I will never let him forget hes Merthyr not Cardiff.

I know you have your spats on here but offline hes a good guy really.

As a mate, or even aquaintance, he would do anything to help you. He really would.

Hes always liked the limelight thats just the way he is but hes always good value. mad as a box of frogs.

All seriousness i lived there til I was 6, went to school until I was 11, and hung about there until 14/15.
I can honestly say as a 36 yo man I wouldt walk about there now. Whereas when I was 10/11 I would up the shops until late.

Its a scary place now. Heroin has absolutelt destroyed it.

i'm pretty sure most of them aren't going because they think the club are going to miss them, more because they're just really gutted by this rebranding, have lost passion, and just don't want to support the club whilst its wearing red :s

just because the re-branding isnt an issue for you, there's plenty of people who it is an issue for so just grow up and understand that some people have been really hurt by all of this!
