NEIL WARNOCK: " CARDIFF CITY FANS "

Plenty has been said about Cardiff's poor attendances at home, but in recent weeks the hardy support that has followed Neil Warnock's side on the road has been nothing short of superb.

Having been left disappointed at Villa Park and Pride Park, the 2,400 fans that made the nine hour round trip up to Hull were relentless in their support for the cause, creating one of the most special atmospheres of the season.

It wasn't lost on boss Neil Warnock, who seemed particularly impressed by the Bluebirds' stirring rendition of the national anthem.



NEIL WARNOCK:


"The last time I heard the national anthem of Wales like that was when I went to watch Wales play Australia at rugby," he said.

"My hair stood up. I thought the fans were brilliant."

That's before you get on to the incredible fancy dress on show.


There aren't many other teams in the Premier League lucky enough to have a set of fans capable of making the sort of racket that was heard on Humberside

Given that the likes of Aston Villa, Fulham and Derby have gone to the KCOM and failed to emerge with three points, you cannot underestimate the impact of such backing.

There's a special rapport between the fans, the team and, even more so, with Warnock, who still loves to make a point of saluting the supporters after every success with his trademark wind-up fist pump.

Cardiff are within touching distance of a promotion that in terms of magic gives Malky Mackay's vintage of 2013 a good run for its money, and the fans have undeniably played their part.

So come on Neil and the team, please give these people the fairytale ending they deserve!

Cardiff City Stadium has been rocking in recent weeks. It will be again on Sunday.

Rushed across to this one after landing back in Manchester at half 8 in the morning, definitely worth it! I was proud to be part of that away end on Saturday, with everyone singing for 90 minutes and in a positive mood! The erruption when we scored both times were incredible!

Didn't go to Hull but was at Derby and the way we celebrated our goal was the best for a long time. it was up there with Turners goal at Wembley.

Times are good and lets pray they continue Sunday.

Have to agree, not had a bounce like that after a goal for a good while, and Norwich away was great as well.

The Derby stadium was bending beneath my feet when Patterson scored.

Hahah I thought the same. I can actually make myself out on video. All 5 ft 8 of me.
