support local teams not chasetown

re- Organised trips to other clubs games
Right even though i believe its a nice gesture to keep up a relationship with chasetown why are people paying money to a team we have no affiliation with apart from playing them in the fa cup a few years ? would you still be doing this if they had won the game which they nearly did ? what can cardiff city possibly get out of this ?
why not go and support a local welsh league or league of wales team who need the money to help bring through our youngsters through there youth systems which take a lot of money and hard work by normal people who are normally volunteers .
i remember when i couldnt make citys away games i used to go across the road to the old leckwith stadium and watch inter cardiff play. the league of wales is a decent standard , can anybody else remember them playing celtic in europe at ninian park what a great occasion , i enjoyed it so much i even followed to celtic park for the return leg . this is a club playing for wales in europe and making us proud flying OUR flag which is also a club which sadly no longer exists due to financial problems which is mostly down to the attendance problems .
the point of this post is that our local clubs need help to keep running and supporting teams in england over our own clubs can only have a negative impact on a allready badly damaged welsh football system .
If you have the chance go watch a local welsh league match you wont be dissapointed most have clubhouses and small stands now and in a group is quite an enjoyable day out .

Adding onto what i just said a good idea seeing as a lot of people want to boycott leeds away , why dont we organise a trip to a local team on that day like barry town , merthyr , treforest or ely rangers and pay say £10 each to watch it and get a good crowd for them and show our support for our own , the money generated on that day would help one of those clubs survive for a while and maybe help them upgrade there facilities or invest in there youth systems ?? would anybody be up for that ??

I dont think this is unique to Cardiff city most clubs are affiliated in some way through friendships formed with clubs of other teams whether this be out of respect, political or another reason such as meeting fans and keeping in touch and then arranging people to visit that club. Wrexham are pally with Bohs in Dublin for example, Rangers /Chelsea, Swansea and Den Haag you get the idea. Chasetown since playing at our stadium have been full of praise for us a club. We helped them win their ground development in Evo Stick league which amazed their fans and officials. Since then ccfc fans have visited there and each season they bring a bus to CCFC. They make us feel very welcome there on the pitch before kick off long may it continue whilst their not a glamorous club there is no doubt this club enjoys a great bond now with our fans.

like i said its a nice gesture but we have local clubs who need our help a lot more , if these local clubs die where are our children / grandchildren going to learn to play the game and what will it do to the future of welsh football ?
what about the bond between a big part of our fan base in the valleys who travel down to watch us play all the time not once a season whos own clubs are struggling up there ?
why cant we have that relationship with our local clubs ? why cant we help a local team develope their ground ?
yes its a nice thing to do for chasetown but how about doing the same and building strong bonds with our own , only good things can come of it !

I watch Taffs Well when I am not watching the City - Only £5 to get in and that standard of football is pretty good

I'd recommend anyone to give their local Welsh league side a go

The link with Chasetown is a good one and friendships have been formed off the back of it

What is it lately with people making threads on telling people what they should and shouldn't do.

If a grown man want to go to a chasetown game, in a replica kit, go watch some wrestling on the way home and then stick on football manager when they get in then that's exactly what they should do.

No you dont Milly, you watch the County. :lol:

I was going to watch Bradford tomorrow(Good friends up there and lived and worked there for 2 years), but have to do something with the family, so family first. Also thought of popping up to see Merthyr, but will later on in the season.

I wasnt telling anybody to do anything ?. At no point do i tell you what to do i ask why not support !
People can do as they like and people have reasons for going to different places it was a suggestion to help out our struggling local teams not a demand .

No don't tell me what to do with my money, I'll hand over money to Chasetown if I want to

:roll: :roll: :roll: do you know what the word suggestion means ?? i even said it was a nice gesture , then again its people like you sending all your money to english teams thats keeping money out of the welsh game , lowering the standard of our local clubs and players so we have less players coming through the ranks , which in turn lowers the number of players who are good enough to turn pro and play for wales . oh look at that its the same people who wonder why wales are so poor and get annoyed ! it all starts at grass roots mate where our clubs need support .
but yes its your choice do what you want , once again it was a suggestion !

Maybe the ones organising the chasetown trip can organise a trip up the valleys to a merthyr game.
Im sure a coach load paying 7 or 8quid each to get in and the extra cash taken over the bar will be gratefully welcomed
