" THE ATMOSPHERE LAST NIGHT "

The boost in attendance was much welcome. The extra bums on seats made for a refreshing sight as the Cardiff City Stadium was once again a sea of blue scarves and tops.

What really mattered, however, was that this was a bit of a proper, old-fashioned, footballing atmosphere.

There was nothing synthetic or enforced about it, it was merely a fevered crowd responding to a blood and thunder game unfolding in front of them.

There were times when the atmosphere dipped but that is only natural. In the closing minutes, as the Bluebirds threw themselves at every shot, cross and pass coming towards them, the crowd noise reached a crescendo with songs not heard loud or proud this season ringing in the ears.

Cardiff City boss Neil Warnock gets a big ovation as he enters the dug-out for the first time

You could almost feel the throbbing veins, the increase in heart-rate and the growing sense of a club alive and kicking again.

It won't always be this good, but what a way to start :thumbright: :bluescarf: :bluebird:

Spot on Annis.
Will be interesting to see if the crowd and atmosphere is as good on Wednesday without the huge amount of £5 tickets available.
I really hope it is.

The crowds whistle towards end of injury time was loudest thing I've heard in that stadium in a long time. Such a great atmosphere all night.

My wife said my heart was beating like crazy, she said your heart hasn't been like that since we beat Man City.
So that's my atmosphere gauge , the best atmosphere for over 3 years.

Sometimes when the atmosphere dips, i think people are still nervous on edge at times especially at home games.

City fans and team were as one. And we both proved we were up for the fight. Wish I could make wed but hope the momentum carries through

Note to the Canton. Do that Iceland chant every time Gunnar does a long throw towards you. It looks AWESOME from the Ninian :thumbup:

There are managers who have a natural fit with certain clubs Clough @ Forrest, Ferguson @ Man United as examples. Neil Warnock is a natural fit @ CCFC similar to Malky. A natural leader sparks the crowd because they have faith in them.

Friday night was brilliant and the crowd showed how world class it can be. Fair play to the Wurzels they played their part but in the end there was only one winner CCFC :bluebird:
