You answered your own question with the last sentence, so don't worry about the Karl-Heinz Rumourmonger's out there and go enjoy the game

I'm in there mate, same boat as you, I am a little apprehensive aswell see what happens.

The difference this year (unless it's always been the case), is that they have actualy made a point of saying and putting it on their website that Cardiff fans will be ejected due to the restrictions they have had put on them from SAG.

I don't wear colours anyway but I'm just going to keep my head down and hopefully get to see the game and check the lie of the land once (hopefully) inside.

It’s not getting detected when im in there im worried about it’s the barcode on my ticket not working on the turnstiles, i heard they cancelling tickets with any South Wales postcodes on them.

What ever happens dont where colours, Fulham have stated that away supporters could be ejected if identified from the neutral area. Fulham have notified some people that they will need to change their tickets due to the segregation barrier being moved.
The key is be sensible and it should be ok.

Ah right, in that case you're right to be worried then as they have stated on their website that all tickets bought with a CF post code will be cancelled and refunded so its not a rumour.

Fingers crossed.

It will be fine and they won't turn people away, although it might be an idea not to go dressed as Billy the Badge's advertising board!

I do think and hope you're right Sven, you would imagine SWP would step in and advise Fulham to let people in rather than have them outside but if its SAG (which would have included the MET) that have made the ruling then you do wonder.

The Fulham Website says this. (not sure if you have seen it)

Owing to restrictions placed on the Club by the Saftey Advisory Group we are unable to sell tickets to Cardiff supporters. This means that supporters who live in a CF or any other Cardiff post code will be unable to purchase tickets. Any tickets currently purchased by fans in these areas will be cancelled and reimbursed.
Anyone identified as an away supporter in any part of the stadium other than the way end will be ejected.

Possibly empty threats, but concerning nonetheless.

hope your lucky and get in mate but id be concerned too..
its something they can quite easily implement if they chose to although other away fans have had little bother..
they do not like us..last time in the prem a friend of mine was told as much, to his face in their ticket office.

Thanks mate, we got ours with a London Post Code and picking them up off a mate up there so I'm just going to keep my mouth shut and hopefully we will be OK.

Hundreds of Cardiff City have bought tickets and have never ever been refused in the past, Cant see any problem at all

7 of us travelling to Fulham and 2 of us have
tickets in neutral end, think there’ll be too
many City in there to throw everyone out

A city fan on one of the other message boards just said Fulham have informed him that his ticket has been cancelled because of a CF postcode .

Me and another are in the neutral section also, bought tickets from a london postcode. Think the neutral end will be packed with city tbh.

Why is it called the neutral end? They should change the name if it’s no longer neutral.

if your a Cardiff fan your not neutral though.

That doesn’t make sense. There will only be Cardiff fans or Fulham fans there. Or is it for stag trips. (Joke)

its never made any sense...who would want to pay 50 quid to watch Fulham versus Cardiff who has no real interest in either team ?

Simple solution if stop a city fan from neutral end is for all city fans going in that end to stay outside then let them deal with couple of thousand city fans outside ground should excersise mets minds....

I think if your concerned then just use common sense and not in colours etc

I find it a little odd that any club would have a 'neutral' stand knowing that it was likely to be abused for 'big' games. Can you imagine the ManUre locals and the Scousers not taking advantage?

I have spoken to others (not just from Cardiff) and it seems Fulham accept that some supporters will be 'not so neutral' in that end but do expect a certain decorum, i.e. not wearing the colours of your club, etc.

Quote (above): "Anyone identified as an away supporter in any part of the stadium other than the way end will be ejected"

That was a huge debate on here only last week and we all know that the 'stupid' ones amongst the ManUre support were soon identified and that many others watched the game from 'home' parts of the CCS

I also recall our FA Cup game v the Arsenal at Highbury (the last ever at that ground) where we were told categorically that Club Membership Cards (remember those?) had to be shown before being allowed near the ground. Barriers were put up and checks made, but there was one anomaly; the same ID's were being passed back through the line to supporters who didn't have one and (to my knowledge) not one City fan was actually stopped

As Luke (2Blue2Handle) says, just a little common sense required from those going into what is actually NOT the away end

Hi mate

Sven, I think the point is being missed but I don't want to go in about it cos I don't want to be seen as negative but it won't matter if youre dressed in full cardiff kit or mr blobby if Fulham do what they said they are going to aand that's cancell all tickets bought with a South Wales Post code in that stand.

As dogfound said, perhaps its a tactic to put others off but it's a pretty bizzare state to put on their website if they don't mean it.

I see your point but surely the time to 'cancel' tickets was on application. The senders address that included a CF postcode would have been picked up then

I also see why you would have some reservations, as you paid did money for travel and ticket; but the previous evidence is it won't be an issue (unless, of course, some numpty creates one for themselves)

I have a ticket in neutral end and had an email off Fulham saying that I have to go to the ticket box to change my ticket as they are moving the segregation barrier ????

Reading what whistler has said below iv got to be honest, I have a feeling that the neutral end is probably so empty or they realise that they have sold so many tickets to Cardiff fans that they are just going to end up moving the segregation and effectively lump us all in together as one big away end so I do agree with everyone that it will more than probably be OK, just Fulham being awkward.
