Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay said he hoped to see up to 100,000 fans on the streets for his triumphant squad’s open top bus parade.

The squad ate lunch at top city restaurant The Potted Pig on St Mary Street in the city centre after being invited by owner Jahan Abedi to celebrate their promotion to the Premier League.

Malky told WalesOnline he was looking forward to Sunday’s bus tour.

He said: “The night we drew with Charlton to get promoted was a nice feeling but a strange feeling.

“Then up at Burnley to win the title and celebrate in front of two or three thousand fans was unbelievable.

“But to lift the trophy in front of 27,000 on Saturday and physically have the medals and title will live with me forever.

“I was lucky enough to do a bus tour at Norwich, West Ham and Watford – but you can’t get enough of that.

“I think there will be 100,000 people in the city – I think it will be something we remember for the rest of our lives.”

Do you think there will be a few less or are you thinking he is well over estimating?

I can see it being packed. Even my missus wants to go. No school or Work for 90% of fans Monday will mean people will be out all day.

I hope people not even with an ounce of interest in football to come out and witness this, I'm fed up of the whole city wanking over the Rugby, it's time this city came together and felt proud of their hometown team, f**k the clubs far away, this club is now a PREMIER LEAGUE club.

i think hes underestimating it to be honest
I know at least 40 people who never go down the city who are taking there wifes and kids down just for the day out if even a quarter of the city and surrounding areas do that it will be easily 100k . if its a nice day i think we could well exceed that amount :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Cardiff City boss Malky Mackay said he hoped to see up to 100,000 fans on the streets for his triumphant squad’s open top bus parade.

The squad ate lunch at top city restaurant The Potted Pig on St Mary Street in the city centre after being invited by owner Jahan Abedi to celebrate their promotion to the Premier League.

Malky told WalesOnline he was looking forward to Sunday’s bus tour.

He said: “The night we drew with Charlton to get promoted was a nice feeling but a strange feeling.

“Then up at Burnley to win the title and celebrate in front of two or three thousand fans was unbelievable.

“But to lift the trophy in front of 27,000 on Saturday and physically have the medals and title will live with me forever.

“I was lucky enough to do a bus tour at Norwich, West Ham and Watford – but you can’t get enough of that.

“I think there will be 100,000 people in the city – I think it will be something we remember for the rest of our lives.”


What time is it starting ?I am planning on being down the bay with the missus who hates football, but came with me to the Old A for a day on the pss watching Burnley to claim the championship, Might even take her again on Saturday !!!!
