City fever gripping the public

Thu May 20, 2010 11:23 am

I walked up from blackwood library earlier and there is a house flying the city flag from the doorway and I saw at least 5 OR 6 cars driving around with city flags !!! people on the train, people in work, the lads in the pub are only talking about ONE THING AND THATS CARDIFF CITY , I think the exposure we are getting is incredible and possibly seems larger than the cup final !!! what s it like where you live are people focusing on the CITY :ayatollah:

In school the other day after we beat Leicester, all the teachers were talking about was Cardiff even the bloody women, half of them dont give to fucks about football but was great to hear.

WEMBLEY WEMBLEY WERE THE FAMOUS CARDIFF CITY AND WERE OFF TO WEMBLEY!!

I'm working in heathrow at the moment and people up here are asking questions about us, where I now live in Chepstow I'm seeing more city shirts than ever about even with the kids.

Good stuff to see around Blackwood.

There are quite a few city fans around.

A lot of young people like city 13-17 year olds always fill up the train home after the game :ayatollah:


what is more encouraging is the number of kids with city tops going to football training and wearing them in p.e. :ayatollah:

If we get to the premiership it could spell the end for Liverpool tops in this area :D

Every where I have been today , people I have never met before have all been either asking me how I think we will do or telling me how they are getting up there.The Excitement and Joy in Everyone one has been Superb. Football Can really Bring Life to a City or in Our Case South Wales. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I've been at the cricket last few days. A lot of the spectators, the players and even one of the umpires were talking about it. Even the Glamorgan CExe was interviewed yesterday and spent most of his time talking about Cardiff City!!!! :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
