By the time we got off the ferry and through customs it was 1:45pm and all I could think of was getting to Cardiff asap. There was a burnt out van on junction 33 too which caused a delay and I was going mad!! But after parking near Asda I run off to the stadium as my wife went to get some things in asda and arriving outside the stadium I found the turnstiles all closed. After speaking to a couple of people I saw a gate open and pleaded to be let in showing my season ticket, explaining to the steward that I have just gotten back from France. But I was desperate to see the City particularly after missing last Sunday's game.

You could at least finish the story. Did they let you in? Did you reach your seat before the whistle blew for full time? Some sort of comment on the play / atmosphere. Was it worth it? Had your wife finished the shopping when you got out?
