Believe its because of staff shortages.. something that's getting common on the trains.... out of 3 Saturdays I caught train because of problems I only paid £24 out of a total £141 due to compensation being paid.

It's been suggested that the train companies don't care about poor performance anymore because they know they'll be brought into public ownership at the end of their current contract.

They've been told that will happen earlier if they have consistent poor performance, but the train companies know it's happening at some point anyway.

To be fair, the train companies have been awful for a number of years so something like this was always coming down the track.... My attempt at a bad joke

Well tfw as just spent 4 yrs organising new time table that starts on 15th Dec hopefully it's as good as it sounds here in pembs..... but unfortunately won't stop the overcrowding even here let's hope its on the right track though!

Considering everything that’s going on at our club that is absolutely fantastic support. I hope the players appreciate it and run their bollocks off. No doubt Dalman and Choo will also be there

We all like to think that our support can make a difference to how our team performs - that our cheers and chants will inspire the players to raise their game and perform to a higher level than they would without that support.

To become that mythical "twelfth man" who can make the difference between winning and losing.

Not sure I agree though. I've been to away games with less than 100 City fans where the team have played great and also been to away games with thousands of City fans where the performance on the pitch has been shocking, despite the brilliant away support.

Well done to all those travelling today - I have no doubt you'll be loud and proud as always.

I'm just not so confident that your fantastic support will inspire the players as much as we hope it will.

That’s amazing support.

Well done to each and everyone of you, cannot attend today because of business commitments however will listen when I can on radio wales. If ever we needed a positive result then today is the day. Roar them home fellow Bluebirds

Great support, let's hope the WHOLE sqaud put a shift in and get a positive result.

Good support that, can the players respond

On my way now, was surprised we sold that many.

A lot more than they deserve.

Can't see us winning but come on City

1800 city fans turning up let's hope the players do.

If you're in the city centre the only trains to the stadium are at 2.30 and 2.55

Took me in the car 2hrs 10mins , No Traffic.
