British football fans have been among the poorest in Europe for years now, you look at countries like Spain, Germany, Holland, Serbia, Ukraine, Poland, Italy, France. They ALL have fans that will be in the stadium an hour before kick off singing songs, and wont be finished until everyone else has left the stadium. It's the ultimate matchday experience. In Britain fans turn up at the stadium, have a pint, take their seats 10 minutes before kick off, sit and watch the match, and go home again. No atmosphere, no passion. It's horrible, but it's the way it is nowadays.

The problem we have is, in the UK everything those fans are using to making an atmosphere, you would be arrested here for the use of fire arms and taking them to a football game in the UK would prob result in prison. Plus our club does not want our fans to be like this, they like happy clapping fans. On Sat in the Ninian Stand the stewards were threatening people with bans if they sang certain songs or stood up.

personally i think the time has come for those in the ninian to join the canton. I honestly don't think people can win and stand next to the away supporters., the club dont want it, the league dont want it!
The fact remains that cardiff's reputation will always follow us and the authorities seem to come down harder on us than anyone.
If everybody who wanted to make a racket would join the canton i believe we could make hell of a racket.

maybe because any sort of enjoyment at a game has been taken away,by health and safety and over zealous stewarding...
