Talk of us being the new pompeys

Thu Feb 13, 2014 2:38 am

After seeing some members of the forum saying that we may be relegated this season and eventually tan f*cking off, Is it really a bad thing? Yes we'll be 2, maybe 3 leagues down, but that's the moment where we as (real) fans can come together and commit ourselves to the club. At the end of the day, after seeing the atmosphere lately, i'm more up for seeing rochdale away than seeing southampton at home on boxing day where we're getting taunted as being a library and to "shhhhhhhh". I want to see the f*cking heart in the club,not wht tan's family club franchise has mad us to be!

I would like Cardiff City to put two fingers up to the thieves cartel who's aim is to rip-off every football fan in the country and be totally committed to the fan experience like in Germany. Partly why I liked going to Cardiff was it was cheap tbh, so there was a lot of lads from my area going together.

I agree with you post :ayatollah: I would of prefered to stay at Ninain Park, maybe could of modified/upgraded that ground with enough pressure on the council.

I am watching German football next month St Pauli vs Union Berlin in bundesliga 2 on March 3rd. St Pauli is an amazing club and offers everything I want on a match day experience. Hamburg i've heard is awesome too for a piss-up, sorry I went on a ramble :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

just thinking...I used to travel to Cardiff as a 15 year old with around 5 boys from the same street! And then meet up with more at the station. Does this happen any more? I liked going to watch sport with my dad but if given a chance you'd go with your mates wouldn't you?

Well this might a reason why it has changed..kids these days priced out of going. I could be talking bollocks though as this is only my personal opinion and maybe there are lots of lads grouping together, getting pissed, playing snooker, then off to the match...Great days!! :D

I use to go with a few friends and our away days use to be to jump in some van and hope it got us to the ground and back home. Once such trip our van broke down just outside where I live now here in Derby and we had no choice but to abandon it. I recall the police in Derbyshire contacting my mate the owner of the van and threatening some action against him if the removal bill was not paid. As mates we all dug into our empty pockets and somehow managed to cough up.

I also remember that story as if it happened yesterday and I recall then longing for the day when I could afford a decent car and travel in luxury for the away days. Well those days are on me now but would I go back to yesterday. To damn right I would.

I wonder how many fans would honestly accept a drop in divisions and financial meltdown but a return to blue and the bluebird prominent on the badge again. Used to love the away days rammed in a transit hoping no one would spew or tip the piss funnel over. Strangely they do seem like the good old days. As much as I don't like our new stadium. We had to move really. Hopefully in the near future if tan wants to go the new ground will help him sell the club. Just hope it's not to another loony toon. I'm hoping we can have the best of all world's. identity back and stay in the higher league's

Spot on the revenue is huge compared to when Pompey got relegated, we also do not have a load of overpaid pri-madonnas on the payroll, with the sale of Medel which will bring in about 10 mil+ we basically have a very good championship team on championship wages. Bellamys wages will be off our books next year as well thank f**k.

In all fairness thats pure nonsense.

When we were first in CCS fans complained about the atmosphere due to it being the stadium. That was disproved in some games.

There are some who prefer attending games for an atmosphere and being with other men than the football.

All clubs have a better vocal support away from home because all like minded fans are put in one part of the ground and most drink. Didnt we have a great support at Villa and they were quiet?

You want to be like Pompey? Pure nonsense....if we were near the bottom of div 2 we wouldnt get half of Pompeys attendance.

I wish you'd all cop on and stop this negative rubbish.

Your spot on, why any real supporter wants to drop down divisions, in the hope that we get our traditional colour and badge back is beyond me! The CCS is superb, but the atmosphere would be far better, if the Canton and family stands were swapped around.

Not trying to pick an argument here, but who do you see paying us £10m for Medel?

What peoeple don't understand is, cardiff do not need to sell as the wage bill is nothing like QPR. If you think Ole would sell Medel for pennies then your are mad, it's 10 mil + or he's staying, and if medel stays we will tear the champ a new arsehole. Bellamys 35k a wk will be off the wage bill next season to thank fuk.

Qpr were signing loads of people on 100 k aweek ,with crowds of 16 k and tv money of a fraction of this seasons money
