" IT HAS BEEN 46 YEARS "

Sun Jan 08, 2012 3:44 pm

It has been 46 years since Cardiff City have played in a League Cup Semi-Final which was against West Ham during the 1965/66 season.

Over the two legged Semi-Final this Cardiff City team can make history as no other City team has ever made a League Cup final.

Malky Mackay showed where his priorities lay regarding the cup competitions yesterday by making wholesale changes in readiness for Tuesday.

You can still purchase tickets to be at Selhurst Park on Tuesday and you can even pay on the day.

Why not make the most of this opportunity as it may just be another 46 years before City make another League Cup Semi-Final.

Malky Mackay wants us there in our thousands, players have said how we spur them on when we away in our thousands, come lads and lasses, do what you can to ensure you are there on Tuesday evening to spur on the team.

I endorse that we need every Bluebird who can make it to be there, it's us supporters that can make the difference and hopefully cheer the team onto a great result :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

My opinion is the league cup was more than a reserve cup years ago

Out of all the cup competitions these days the Carling cup is the least favoured by most clubs

I would have been 4 then and I'll be 96 (highly unlikely) if it takes another 46 years. Lucky I'm going to this one then.

However Carl, you shouldn't be encouraging people to attend this game. You know how much it offends some people somewhere else. For some reason.

Would be fantastic to sell out our allocation.

I would love to go but my bank account says otherwise, but I have my ticket for the home leg. I hope it doesn't take another 46 years to reach a League Cup Semi Final though because to be frank I haven't got another 46 years :old: :old: :old: :lol: :lol: :lol:

To make the final we are going to have to do something that we have never managed before and that is to beat Crystal Palace in a Cup Match, FA or League Cup, we have met in 8 other Cup matches and Palace have won them all.

Must be our turn this time :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Annis, do you know how many we have sold for the away leg? I know the away section has been cut to something like 3,300 so we should sell at least 3,000 of those :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
