Cardiff to play real sociedad

First week in August !

the La Liga outfit, preparing for European Championship League football, has not yet been officially confirmed but sources in Spain say it is ‘99 per cent certain to go ahead’.

Mexican international Carlos Vela, a former Arsenal and West Brom forward, and highly-rated central defender Inigo Martinez, are Sociedad’s star players and will be in their squad for the trip to South Wales.

Thats what you call a pre season

Great news. I will be there for sure.

Think we play an Italian team the week after too, hmm

Does anyone remember Ajax pre season at Ninian. Maybe 6 or 7 years ago maybe even more!!

Now that was a walk up crowd that the club never expected!! I think the closed the bob bank for that one but had to open it in the end!! You couldn't fit in the grange end so it spilled into the bob bank!!

No one cared about the game as the atmosphere was tasty and exciting

I remember the Ajax fans were running back and forth in the away end as well

There was a good atmosphere.

The rest of the story's wrong tho. The bob bank was open but it started to piss down so everybody climbed the fence to sit in the seats in the dry.

I was 1 of them it was pissing down

Wasn't that game one of the very last Glen Loovens played for us?

I went to that one. Wasn't it McCormack's first game for Cardiff too?

I can't remember if it was pissing down! I honestly remember it just getting to full to contain all the fans!!

That's why the bob bank was stormed!!

The evil drink fails my memory but that was a good night and the Ajax fans were well up for it!!!

Nope it was open an it rained. So people sat down there was no storming
I admit your story sounds a little bit better then people wanted to keep dry.

Definitely pissed down, I was sat in the grandstand for that game, and there was a wave of people running from the front into the seated area. It was awesome to watch! And the Ajax fans dancing to pass the dutchie!

It's not, playing in the europa league is what i call a pre season.

Laughing at you getting out of the Europa league in the first qualifying round is going to be awesome

The Ajax game had an attendance of around 11,000 if memory serves me right a dull 0-0 draw

Anyone know what the deal will be on tickets? Will ST holders get priority or cheaper tickets? Or will they just go on general sale straight away for anyone to buy?

I remember the Parma game was half price for ST holders

They will probably just go on general sale. It won't be anywhere near a sell out

The Ajax game was played on a Friday night in 2008 I think, we drew 0-0. I remember their scruffy mob of about 100 youngsters running around in the grangend.

aye, should you actually qualify by beating some un heard of latvian team, you will find yourselves relegated next May.....


bring it on.....

Do we need to have a membership for the game?
Will the match be put on sale online? Or is it pay on the day?
