Cardiff city AFC is dead

Sun Jan 12, 2014 8:31 am

Time to face facts chaps, our club is a joke and will never be the same. It used to be passionate, full of lads who would die for eachother, intimidating and a good day out for all concerned. To many wannabe 'lads' dressing in terrible gear who couldn't punch a hole through a wet echo, to many new fans who are happy to sit there like statues happy with the red, Gwynn and his band of merry men who bullied the remaining few loyal city that were going away... Probably because they know most of the Cardiff lot who would stand up to them are band.....
And a soulless stadium full of the most fickle fans i have ever met. No songs, no passion, no real love for the Cardiff we once new. Red... Shit badge.... And rising debts, this is only going one way, relegation and liquidation! Away used to be good, full of lads, singing old songs, new songs, piss up, passion and the odd bit of pushing and shoving with the old bill. It's getting like our home surrport now from what i have seen. The club is dead and the fans are to blame. Where is the riot over Malkey? When we turned to red we should have been steaming the bored room. We went from the most feared fans in the country, to the softest bunch of twats football has seen. Umm rant over, Cardiff is no longer, and I can't see it getting any better unfortunately.

Never ceases to amuse me what rants come up after a bad rersult.

Thoses days you talk about were when we had small crowds and it those sort of crowds that are made up of the die hard passionate supporters. Specially for a club like ours who have not spent much time in the top flights.

We have only just got back to the top flight and the natural thing that will happen is the influx of plastic support. Once the novalty has worn off the serious plastic supporters will remain and become part of the die hard lot. Until then and providing we remain in the top flight expect more of the same.

Nothing to do with the result to be honest, I expected us to lose every game this year so couldn't give a toss about that, it's about other issues as you can read, which most of my posts are about, win, lose or draw

At this moment in time, couldn't give a shit about blue or red, badge or no badge, tan or hammam. The position of the team should be first in everyones view otherwise we are fecked and down!

The days you talk about are long gone and were before Tan arrived.

You cant blame Tan for the end of football violence.

Didn't say that did I, the last 5-6 years this has been happening. Made worst now though by all this shit. And the lads who were still going have all stopped due to the above

The guys running football now are business men. They look at the revenue streams and when you think attendances bring in say £10 million yet tv money is 10 fold to that then you can understand why the fans don't have much of a say in the boardroom.

The only thing the fans have got going for themselves is the atmosphere. A full ground always looks better on the telly and reflects on the club. Its one of the reasons I believe the German game is cheaper to watch.

I see plenty of the old lads still going. They have grown up and just want to watch the football now.

The days of having a row are long gone and thats not exclusive to Cardiff City.

It very much is a Cardiff thing I'm afraid, I quite often speak to lads from other clubs, who most weekends are calling saying they have 50-60 lads going away or a good bunch of lads out at home.. It happens a lot more than people think, it's just not on the news everytime there's a scuffle now. Cardiff are a no show... Ye there are lads who still go down. But nothing like a few years ago... And many of original SC don't bother or are banned

So what your saying is our club is a joke because we dont have a firm anymore?

Haha re-read the original post mate, you were asking about that subject I replied, don't try and twist it. We are red, f*cking red, a beer mat badge, a bonkers owner who does what he wants, and the most fickle fans in the country, as well as rising debts and a soulless stadium, like I said in the original post

Your original post bangs on about lads not being able to fight, rioting and steaming the boardroom thats why I brought up the subject of football violence.

I am not trying to twist anything, you sound old enough to know you cannot do any of the above anymore at the ground and thsts not exclusive to City.

You said yourself loads are on bans if people did what you are complaining about ie riot and steam the board room you are looking at prison these dayd.

Whilst some will never grow up and grow out of it the vast majority of lads have grown up and place more importance on their livliehoods than rioting over daft cause.

I agree the red is shit and the atmisphere soulesd but NP didnt rock every game either.

So why were half the stadium chanting about a riot every game if nothing was going to be done, that's what the OP is referring to, when we were changed to blue the fans should of stood up to Tan and rioted, albeit a non violent riot. No1 has any guts at our club anymore, we are the laughing stock of the prem and lower leagues.

I agree, I don't agree it's a daft cause, but I didn't say we should be rioting over it, that would be silly to say on here ;) the point I was getting at is how much it has changed, how we have been bent over and fucked in the ass and hardly anyone has done anything about it. There was bigger protests at Newcastle when they changed the stadium name.
The fact of the matter is the original post was meant to be an example of how different things are, and your right it's not since tan it's been the last few years coming all this.
The atmosphere.. Why can't we produce it? Qpr top of the table clash the other year was top, man city home, incredible! So it must be the fans?

Cmon mate the risk of going to prison over a shirt colour? As much as I hate it to riot over it is daft.

I dont know what the answer is, modern stadia I guess but there was always good games and bad games at NP too remember.

I dont think Malkys shit football helped people were dozing off half the time.

The main problem is there is a hard core as they like to call themselves who would rather be in league 2 or 1 playing in a stadium falling down as much as I loved the ground thats the truth getting pissed and getting into a bit of trouble
things have moved on football aint like that
so forget history and make new history and get behind cardiff the team you love and stop banging on about the good old days cos football has moved on and that aint nowt to do with tan plastic fans as you call them etc its all down to money and sky getting involved

Re: Cardiff city AFC is dead

Sun Jan 12, 2014 9:58 am

Its not just our club its happend at every club. Just look at the away fans at our ground, 90% of them have been piss poor.

Re: Cardiff city AFC is dead

Sun Jan 12, 2014 9:59 am

No it's not worth prison, not at all, but it's worth something, for us to not even stand up and do anything is quite frankly embarrassing.

Np at times was a morgue, and your right people who say it was amazing all the time need there heads testing. Recently there was only a few games that were by my standards 'rocking', spurs home in the cup, brum home top of league clash, arsenal was ok in the cup and some big games were quite good. But I don't know what it is at Cardiff people seem embarrassed to sing. The lack of any decent songs may be a factor... Which is why maybe they all sang about the riot... It was actually catchy haha

When the red issue arose I think you will find there was opposition to it. A group of 50 hard core supporters gathered in the beginning to discuss this. Then KCB was setup to try and organise an opposition. However their attempts were disrupted by what I would have considered to be high profile fans who you would have expected to be in support of our identity and what we are. Their tactics of threats would put anyone off.

Thankfully it took a bunch of just supporters who are not scared of these threats to reignite the opposition. Although some will argue it was a bit late my argument back to those is it is never late. I'm not sure who I am more disgusted with, those that initially did the threats or those who have done nothing but to slag BU off.

So to say we did nothing is bollocks.

Excatly the point thats what the hard core want and 2ill no5 be happy untill its like that mind you you have your villian for when it happens as you can all blame tan instead of looking in the mirror and taking a bit of the blame themselves
