' Peterborough away only £8 per person. '


Subsidised coaches for Peterborough Away
In an initiative to get as many City supporters to travel to the away game with Peterborough, Vincent Tan has kindly put up a kitty amounting to £400 per coach for the travel groups.
This means, for Supporters’ Club members and Non Club members, that there will be a flat fee of maximum £8 per head for all those traveling to the game with no concessions.
This generous move was considered for the Leeds United away fixture due to the excessive cost of that trip.
However, it was decided to delay the reduction for a game closer to the promotion run-in and the Peterborough game was chosen instead.
Take advantage of this special offer and book now!


' NEXT 3 AWAY GAMES TICKET SALES SO FAR '

Sheffield Wednesday 1,316 sold so far.

Peterborough, just over 700 sold so far.

Watford 1,187 sold so far.



Carls mini update Monday 11th March 2013

Carl forgot to add


The extra work Cardiff players do, relates to yoga sessions. Every player has to wear a heart monitor now during training and the data is then analyzed by the staff afterwards. This ensures that every player is doing to optimum level of work and can also highlight if a player is close to burn out. It all seems ultra professional down there these days. Very very impressive and great to see such a dedicated team of players and staff. We may not always be easy on the eye but I've never known a City team to work as hard as this one.


Malky Mackay's back-room staff work hard with the players and have them on strict diets and each player is monitored regularly for their fitness levels.

David Kerslake in particular keeps the players on their own toes and in ship shape and the players have a huge amount of respect for him.

The average professional footballer has a body-fat percentage of around 10% but our players are mainly around the 8% mark.

The difference in the squad we have today to that of when Malky and his staff first walked into the club is massive in terms of training, discipline and ego's.

For example at the end of last season each player was given a diet to stick to over the close season and each one was given a target of a body-fat percentage that they were expected to return with, I understand three players, who are no longer at the club, returned for pre-season training with percentages higher than when they left at the end of last season.

Darcy Blake left with 12% and was given a target of 10%, though I am told that the staff would have accepted 11% but Darcy returned with a percentage very close to 15%.

Anthony Gerrard was another player who failed to meet the target given.

Jon Parkin had a body-fat percentage of 19%.

I don't want this to be a criticism of those players but rather to show how hard the other players are working to hit the targets set by the staff.

Another example of how things have changed at our club, we don't get the horror stories we used to have under the Dave Jones reign, I often gave updates on players bad behaviour and in some cases it took a long time for the truth to come out, a long time after I written about them. We had stories about Chopra and his gambling addicition and even though the story of the nasty's paying a visit, I believe it was reported that these shadies turned up at the training ground, in fact it was 90 minutes before a home league match that they turned up demanding their money, I am told Dave Jones had to guarantee their money before they would leave the stadium so he could at least carry on preparing for the game, surprisingly Chopra still played in that game.

I note that Jay Bothroyd has said in an interview today that former Chief Executive Gethin Jenkins tried selling Bothroyd without Jones' knowledge but at the time I reported Jay went on twitter to denounce what I said as nonsense, shame he forgot about that when he confirmed it in a recent interview.

Under Dave Jones players would turn up late for training and generally there were too many ego's around the squad at the time and the ill-discipline went unpunished, such is not the case at the club today. This group of players are disciplined and committed and are giving everything that is expected of them and in some cases are giving more.

Anyone who visits the Vale on training days will have seen players staying behind to put in extra training and practice even though it is in their time and are not expected to do so, it is the fact that they want to shows the commitment they are giving.

Jordon Mutch will undergo surgery on his foot problem this summer in an attempt to cure the condition once and for all, the club expect Mutch to have a big future in the game and with us, this season he has been playing with a specially designed boot to aid him.

Craig Noone is on fire in training of late and hopefully we will see the benefit of this in upcoming games, Mark Hudson has been training also and will be in the squad to face Leicester tomorrow evening, as will Craig Bellamy.

Heidar Helguson deserves praise for his commitment to the cause also, I am told he is scarred from head to toe because of the challenges he goes into and even in training he does not shirk out of any challenges.

Despite rumours Filip Kiss and Etien Velikonja are training with the first team and are very much part of the group.

Nicky Maynard is another player who puts in the extra shift too, on many occasions he will do an extra 2 hours after training is finished.

I was asked last week if there was any truth in Charlie Adam signing on loan, there is absolutely no truth at all in this rumour and the only way Malky Mackay will bring any player in on loan is either because of a desperate injury situation or a player becomes available that is too good to turn down.

For those of you who have not yet renewed your season tickets, I would recommend you do so as soon as possible because come April 1st they will be offered and sold to the 1,000 who are on the waiting list.

A better gesture by Tan would be give us our old badge back and blue kit and stop trying to bribe fans with red scarfs and subsidised travel.
