Not playing them away till end of November...plenty of time to negotiate for the end of the bubble would be nice if we could all go by train same as Bristol City...

Be careful what you wish for on lifting the bubble we don’t get a big allocation down there not like it used to be when we go there in our thousands if they see any Cardiff supporter they will attack you

I can't see the bubble ever changing in the next ten years.

Fur such a close venue (either way), it’s a pain in the (
proverbial) backside to attend these matches for the away supporters

With the modern routes in to each stadium, and the presence of ‘spotters’, CCTV, and the old bill, anyone daft enough to get too involved have to be prepared to take the consequences

Cardiff last time agreed to the bubble being lifted, Swansea then said no and that they would not let our fans come there.

I read somwhere that our allocation is lower than other clubs cause they can't accommodate enough coaches...so if the bubble was cancelled we would have a bigger allocation...surely its time to call it a day...

I can’t either, there would be serious disorder. People who might not have been for years would try and go whether they have a ticket or not, just to cause trouble. I don’t think it would be as bad as the 80’s where we had 1 or 2000 nutters roaming around looking for any jacks as we dont have that type of support anymore and those lads are all in there 50’s or 60’s now.
I don’t think the jacks would be hiding away like they used to 30/40 years ago either, every roid head and nutter from around west wales would be there.

Agree it won’t change from a bubble and maybe that’s for the best in a way.

I’ve never been to the liberty but went to the Vetch many times.
Could be brutal there back in the day and still would be now.

I agree with all of that.

Would prefer it to be lifted because would make it much easier for me to go to the away game, but I just can't see it happening.

With the bubble in place,it is not just a case of hoping on a coaching and going to the game,you are kept hanging around,it ends up being a long day for just a short journey.

Not missing much it is s very small ground considering it holds 20k seats small rows narrow
Concessions area cramped ! And pain in arse to get to......Guess we are spoilt at ccs for space and access parking

Point I was trying to make is bubble trips were brought out when the police genuinely needed a helping hand...we I think are the very last one ...and not many city fans under 30 years of age have had the freedom to go there as they want like every other game ....

Nor me; there would probably be stabbings; you couldn't trust them, and it's been so long, some bellends would be out to make a name for themselves there, after all the years Cardiff walked all over them.
