Not a great time if you want to take kids considering that we have won awards for being a family club. I will be there 100% but I think it will put alot of families off

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 8:23 pm

New kit plus a massive firework display, is my guess.

Stupid timing. Surely it should be 4 o'clock latest?

About what time will it finish?

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 8:56 pm

Awfull timing in my opinion!!! Had visions of a sea of Cardiff fans all in t shirts in the sunshine!!!

Wouldn't miss it for the world but feel sorry for the young kids!!!

Bad p.r!!!

Must be a reason I suppose

I think they have planned a big fireworks display down the bay. That's why it's so late.

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:10 pm

train service is not good after 19.00 and buses stop from Radyr at 18.00 on Sundays, awful timing

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:14 pm

Maybe Cardiff Council had a say in it too?

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:29 pm

Just realised that I can't make it now due to the timing, gutted!

Re: " THE CARDIFF CITY PARADE THIS SUNDAY "

Tue Apr 30, 2013 9:33 pm

Far too late - wont make it either. Sunday evening transport is very hit and miss - why not have an afternoon do that everyone can get to? Don't need fireworks thanks just want to see the team.

Not one to complain normally but the Council have got this one wrong.

It's not miserable bastards!!
Some people got priorities like families or some people can't make it because of transport times! Cock

Surprised the route includes Bute St, would've thought Lloyd George Ave would be better as it's much wider and dead straight.

The council would have set the time, its their roads and highways CCFC are using.

They cant cater for every persons specific needs. It finishes at 6:45, sorry but that is not late if all you want to do is see the team.
