Hello All I am Gavin, as my username suggests I am the hubby of hughesygirl, I met a few of you on Friday at the ground and so I thought I would join.

Right first started supporting the boys in early 90's, My first game was a welsh cup final at the old arms park with my favourtie player at the time was Pike. I best memory was Blake's winner against Man City in the FA Cup, First became a season ticket holder in 2001 had a few absent years due to work and little one's popping out. Glad to have found a soul mate who shares my passion for the City as much as me.

Roddy Moreno.
Singer with Cardiff band The Oppressed, guiarist with Cardiff band Tighten Up, and bass player with Cardiff band The D Teez.
First Cardiff game was in 1969.
Was there when Toshack was sold to Liverpool.
Saw City miss promotion to the old first division by 1 goal in the early 70s.
Was there when Tony Evans walked on water,
Saw the legend that was Robin Friday, the greatest player ever to wear the shirt.
Was there when Man Utd fans sang Aberfan in 1974.
Got drenched 'singing in the rain' at Chelsea in 1977.
Was on the pitch when we won promotion at Bury one Tuesday night long ago.
I'm proud to say that for for the 40 years I've followed the Bluebirds neither the National Front, the British Movement,
The BNP or now the EDL, have never gained a foothold at the club.
I'm happy to be hear.

Why I am a Cardiff city fan?
My interests are: football, beer, whiskey and Vikings. It has for my part, always ended in something with Wales. I have read that the Welsh are proud people and have a beautiful country. Like Denmark, I think ;-)

hope:
- to see Cardiff City play at Cardiff City stadium in autumn 2010
- visiting cardiff, and drink a lot of beer with some of you

Fav Players - Phil Stant, Earnie, Joe Ledley

Best memories - QPR in play off, Beating Man City in cup, Boro in quarters knowing we were going to Wembley, Barnsley semi, Beating Jacks last season

Worst memories - Cambridge at home (about 1994) Lost 7-2, Darlington away when their cowardly mob decided to attack three of us (And we lost 2-0) Preston away 0-6, Ipswich home (Last game at Ninian), Blackpool play off.

Why I am a Cardiff fan - Scottish born and bred but married a girl from the Valleys in 1992. Went to Ninian in 1993 and stood on Grange end.Even though we lost I was hooked due to the passion of the fans.Went two weeks later and we lost 3-2 to Plymouth but again blown away by the atmosphere.Have been going ever since and try to get ten games a season. Sadly my wife died 5 years but I still love City and my teenage daughter does as well.
