Cardiff at central

I was in cardiff today for some tattoo work and as I got off at Central the entire cardiff city squad were on the platform waiting to board for QPR away !!!

Just found it pretty mental they are not travelling by coach. Dont know whether its some ploy by BBM to keep them grounded, but it can't be due to costs as each player probably looking at £100 ticket each to London.

Most of our squad probably qualify for a student Railcard (if such a thing exists nowadays!)

BBM has high standards and wanted a private jet but only a tui flight was available. So we ended up using public transport instead.

It’s probably easier, safer (traffic wise) and more relaxing to go by train, as it’s only a 20 minute (4 mile) commute from Paddington Station

The kit, food, etc. will have gone separately by road :ayatollah:
