6 of us together (mate and 4 kids between us) will not be there as family commitments, will not effect official attendance though as all season tickets

3 of us who sit together not going, each spending it with our young families and wifes.

Was 50-50 but after the pile of shit served up Tuesday then going on Sunday wasnt worth getting in the doghouse for.

Hopefully will mean a superb win for is as I missed the last decent home performance, Reading, when on family duty.

im not going either so i would rather spend the £50 i would spend on the piss on her than watch the tripe ive had to watch for the last two months home/away ,plus i will get grilled if i went , so mothersday is more important this year.

Not excuses thats whats happening like i stated, family is more important than any football game plus its not as if we play on mothersday every season is it . Im not an old timer like yourself so i value family life, you should try it some time it might take the 80's throwback hooligan lookalike out of you, plus ive missed two games this season HOME AND AWAY due to work i bet you can not say the same yourself :lol:

personally i dont understand the problem,
kick off is 3pm
you have in effect 2 and a half hours (150 minutes) to take the mother or wife if the kids are too young, out for lunch and still get to the game, if your that worried park up in canton book a table at the sandmartin, the missus or mother can then either go home or go for a shop or even stay in the pub

All of us are season ticket holders, so our money has gone to the club, and yes the deciding factor for a lot of people will be the inept performance that we had to endure against Hull; the priority has allways got to be your family, allthough I have been selfish down the years Cardiff as allways been my priority on a Sat', but my wife has been brilliant with me and she has had to put up with the mood swings when we don't win and play shite, in other words she deserves a bloody medal with what we as supporters have had to put up with since the 70s, but City till I die :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

prob will have some affect on attendance, but i cant see why really,
kick off at 3, so can always do something early evening, or night before
Its Mothers Day for heavens sake, a commercial rip off,
I value my family, show it every day of my life,
but plus point will be , that the 'under the thumb' supporters, who only chance in life is to have a moan is at the city and not at home, without them, the CCS should be a much happier place to be on Sunday.

No chance.

Xmas day, her birthday,my birthday, mothers day, fathers day
is the only time I am nice to the wife and get my sexual rewards.

Im not risking one of my "Five a year" for another inept performance.
