' TUESDAY 18th JUNE 2013 UPDATE '

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=115051 Carrying on from the last update.

Cardiff City have made enquiries and expressed their interest in recent days for two current Championship players.

The first, Thomas Ince, will come as no surprise as he has been linked with us through the media recently but having had a telephone conversation I was told that 'we have made our intentions known'.

With clubs like Liverpool reportedly interested I would be very surprised if we landed Ince but it is good to hear that we are looking at and showing interest in the likes of Tom Ince.

The second player and one which I expect to go a little further than just an enquiry is Curtis Davies of Birmingham. Davies has been told he can leave St.Andrews this summer.




Cardiff City have made an approach to Sunderland regarding the availability of Danny Graham






The new gantry arrives next Monday for sky tv and will be positioned above the Premier seating, this is not a mickey mouse gantry, its virtually the length of the main stand.

The pitch is now being excavated and a new one being laid.

New disabled seats will be in place in the coming weeks.

Level 4 there will be a new players Wags bar,

Capacity on our opening home game in the Premier League will be near 27,000, City still hoping to top 27,000, those extra few seats will be Blue for the time being, but as you have read the other day, major work starts this September any way.

All the major sections of seats to increase our capacity to eventually 40,000 plus will be Red.

The away section seats are now complete and the segregation line is completed.

Cardiff City now have a waiting list of nearly 10,000 fans wanting season tickets.

There are regular visits from Premier League officials checking our ground over and this is still going on.

The Red shirts sold a mere 100 on the opening launch and sales are down on last year, so City will be doing promotional days.

There is plenty of interest in the Blue Retro shirts and City have not taken them off the shelves as being rumoured, they have actually sold out of most types and yes there will be more coming in the club shop later this season.

Since City's arrival in the Premier League, City dont need to go looking or asking for sponsors on this and that, from suit companies to all the main car dealers they are throwing themselves at our club and City can virtually name their price,

There has been major work done on a new press room, very posh, plus a new stage for Malky ect to sit on, all this on Malky's request, you wont be able to see Malky's legs or hands no more,in front of Malky will be Malaysian advertising

In the past few weeks many Malaysians have ben visiting our stadium, some on official business others to just have a look.

Darren Bent has been a target for Malky and was with Bellamy recently in Cardiff the other week in St Mellons Country Club, Bent has made several visits to the City, we are being told though its down to him whether we sign him, how true that is only him, his agent and Malky knows.

Steve Borley and Wayne Nash have been working down the stadium every day, in fact the last couple of weeks Mr Borley has been there virtually every day.

Both dressing rooms are now complete.

Now that's what you call an update

Ooo come on let's sign bent
Will have great attacking options then

Bent is also big friends with Fraizer Campbell. They went on holidays together this year.

I prefer this "Latest News" fella to Carl.

Thanks for the update.

What's happening the pitch then? I though the pitch was installed at great cost (part artificial or whatever it was).
I'm guessing that concert the other week didn't do it much good.

I have been told by a good source Kalou is a 100% done deal.

Will be very happy if this ends up to be true.

Cheers Latest, Leader

Bent is 28/1 to join us worth a few quid.

Darren Bent that's an interesting one. I don't think he's played much last season and Villa were close from relegation, Would be a risky signing imo

Will the hideous cladding be going after the expansion? Some nice glass would look good

Who's your source??

Thanks for that. Almost 10,000 on season ticket waiting list. Wow, that's impressive. Means we could get crowds of 30,000 on season ticket holders alone. Incredible.
In other news, my blue ass won't ever sit on no red seat.

Red seats. The thought of it makes me want to puke.

Look Malky, I get your stance, you don't mind red. Fine. I hate it. OK

Blue and Red seats, Palace it is then

THIS THIS THIS.

At least get rid of those awful clear plastic corners. Some nice smoked glass with some cool lighting behind them

That's great news for the club AND (ironically) its EXISTING fans

I will welcome those 'newbies' when they arrive BUT in Season One it is only right that those who were there "before Premier League glory" should have first dibs at watching the club make history

Luckily, additional exposure means there is always Sky TV

Red seats. The thought of it makes me want to puke.

Look Malky, I get your stance, you don't mind red. Fine. I hate it. OK

WE KNOW YOU HATE RED BUT WHY JUST PICK A NEGATIVE OUT OF A VERY POSITIVE UPDATE?

Sorry cap locks on.

Small thing but the front of the stadium, will both players be wearing red or red and blue again?

I have been told by a good source Kalou is a 100% done deal.

How accurate is this post?

Totally agree, We have a lovely new stadium would look MUCH better if we get rid of that lego like cladding. Would stop the jacks calling CCS legoland
