Looks like things have not changed from 25-35 years ago when some of us were in school TrueBlue

I Would have thought these days more young lads would follow their home town club

They're now terrified up in Liverpool!

supporting two clubs is like cheating on your girlfriend
At the start the sex is great but eventually you get bored of one

The plastics are entitled to be plastics and even plastic support can only be financially good for the Club, from that point of view the more plastics the merrier for the City, But it's the Clubs call and ridicules idea to integrate plastics in all parts of the CCS as a kind of deterrent to congregation /mass. But it is hard to take for some, Hay plastic' glory hunter, to hardcore We are all CCFC, but when Im surrounded by plastics that wish they were sat ell's where because They didn't realise people may sing and clap in Their vicinity just dont work for me, in fact the plazzies played a large part in My decision to give the CCS a miss with a self imposed bann!!

I've been a fan since I was 12 (since 2001), oddly before I followed Liverpool (ouch!) hahaha. but I'm sure some of you as kids followed the more accessible teams if you're not from Cardiff. My father wasn't too interested in football back then and I unfortunately few up in Gloucestershire.

I have had a season ticket since I could drive! However, this year due to my £7,000 overdraft debt along with my student debt (!) I have had to give both playing football and my season ticket the backseat for a bit.

Now I have become an 'arm chair' fan, who can only make 5-10 games a season. I would absolutely kill to go to wembley again...as I have done in previous years - having the luxury of a season ticket... it used to be just £99 for students!!

I am not here to ask for tickets etc.

I wanted to try and adjust the predictable abuse that 'plastic fans' get. OK, sure half of them are truly not interested in city and will only try to go to the derby games and cup finals etc. But from the club's perspective, it's great that the support is growing year on year. The exposure and interest will only benefit the club in the long run because Cardiff has become accessible to fans who don't live in Cardiff but may have been born there (like myself) or a welsh connection - we do exist!!

I'd like to mention that since i have become what many would regard as an armchair fan or plastic fan, people shouldn't discourage this! at least the fan base is growing, with this cardiff is growing as a club.

“Football is always a passion and never a business. Of course, we have to make business decisions like every father and mother does when they run a family, but a family is not a business and Cardiff City Football Club is a family. It is neither a business nor a family football club, but simply a family.” S. Hammam

I would like to ask for many of you to start considering fans as part of the family at cardiff...I have certainly felt excluded and like I am missing out now that I don't have a season ticket... not by the club, but because other fans have called me such and such this year...

"Cardiff City are bigger as a club than Barcelona.” as long as we believe this true to us, then in my eyes you are an absolute cardiff city fan.

it is possible to live, breathe and obsess over city without having the opportunity to watch them every other week!

second on this... it was the Leeds game in 2001 that really started my love for Cardiff City as a kid... so I hope each of these huge TV appearances will bring more kids away from the Manchester Utd's/Chelsea/Liverpool/Arsenal and Man City's! and find that football isn't about representation of a club but about find absolute passion and belief in a club... that will bring you tears on failure and tears in moments of true happiness...

Good post..i`m 51 and the win over real madrid started my love for the city as a young boy,the more exposure we get the more young kids will be drawn towards us.

A Cardiff Fan is a Cardiff fan new' plastic' Die Hard etc.....I believe the more Fans the better for the Club financially as well as a sound Fan base. Now I'm old school with many seasons as a staunch and proud follower of Cardiff City. Now if Im right even wrong in saying that I actually respect all Cardiff Supporters whatever category one likes to put Themselves , A City Fan is a City Fan like second kin, But for me personally when somebody that wasn't even born by the time one has been to almost every ground in the Country following Cardiff ,how ,when and why They,r opinion is more valid because times have moved on ' or They'v had a ST for3 years, And have no respect or regard to seasoned Fans that stuck with the Club through the horrendous times and the not so horrendous times, There are many posters that only know the relatively good times and have yet to experience horrendous times actually think that if Fans want to chant or sing should grow up and enjoy a nice quiet game. Or when They cant except They have posted utter sh'te the last form of defence of the typical plastic is almost defo a flaccid pathetic lecture on ones spelling This is where plastics become a problem!!!

Just a quick thought....don't most fans start as plastics? I mean unless you are born into a Bluebird family, something probably caught your eye about the club. Wether its the colors, the fans, the way they play the game, whatever. The fact is I would imagine if the club's ambition is to wake the "sleeping giant" like many have professed on this board, then would not plastics be welcomed? The club wants them buying up Carling Cup scarfs and programs, they want to sell kits, and hoodies. This adds to the club's pockets and the fan base grows. Sure some of the plastics will fade away, but some will not. And those plastics will become die hards. We all have to start somewhere.

this will change a few fans minds after the carling cup final

When I was in school in the 70's it was even worse.

It would be idiotic of me to look down my nose at a new supporter,
because we all started off somewhere.

There will be new supporters, mainly younger ones i imagine who
have caught the City bug, and for the next 30-40 years will be
watching them come rain, hail or shine. Good times or bad times.

The plastic is the one who has no interest in watching Cardiff City
week in week out but "oh yes please!" when they are offered a Cup
Final ticket.... In that bracket you can put plenty of 'old school' City fans
who just cannot be arsed any more, but "f*cking right, im not missing
that one!!".. to me that is almost as plastic as the rugby chaps offered
a corporate one!!

I'm not going to be at Wembley, i dont come home before end of May, but
If i'm honest. I'm more gutted about missing loads of league games than
i am about YET ANOTHER Wembley appearance

All new fans are welcome in my eyes and whether they be an ex fan of a premiership team or ex egg chaser, they have to come from somewhere. I've taken my young 10 year old nephew down to all of the Carlin Cup games, it's his first experience of Cardiff City and he's loved it. He's always supported Arsenal as a kid, but on the way to the Semi on Tues when I asked him about Arsenals result last weekend and he said he didn't really care any more as he's a Cardiff fan now.

Plastics? My view is let's welcome them all to the family not push them away

I've been a Cardif fan for 4 days now, they way I have been treated is disgrace full. Come on CARDIFFFFFF!!!

Plastics fecking melt and when they melt they stink.

Once they have been melted they can never be the same again, they are destroyed.

wE WILL WIN melt them in the FINAL 3-1

must be all you big city boys,everyone who was into football in the 70's in my school in the Rhondda were Cardiff fans.

That's because you never had a tv or a car in the whole street

You'd all fecking nick on the train or hang off the back of the lorry to get to cardiff on match day.

My oldest is 7, drilled it into him that Cardiff is his team & to be proud that he can see his team 'live' - always puts a smile on us face when we kick around in the background, he wants me to play as Sheff Weds (his 1st game back in 2010) or other random team we saw at the w/end. Rooney & the Man U culture is unknown to him when the other kids waffle on!

They're now terrified up in Liverpool!

why would they be terrified in liveerpool
its the pastics living in south wales we are talking about
