How many Albion fans at Cardiff?

[Robot Chicken]

Any idea? I think we took more than the 250 we were expected to bring.

 

[Beach Hut]

Around 500 according to Yorkie

 

[Yorkie]

My guess is 500 odd but I'm usually out

 

[Robot Chicken]

Is that netting really necessary? I mean, there were enough police to stop people throwing stuff?

Is it true Cardiff fans have been known to throw bottles filled with urine

Nice to see that there's some sort of gantry blocking the view from the main stand, I remember last time there was a crowd of Cardiff fans in that corner shouting abuse etc.

 

[Starry]

Is it true Cardiff fans have been known to throw bottles filled with urine

Yes, and drenched Jnr Starry at the Cardiff/Leeds fa cup game.

 

[Yorkie]

Total attendance was 11435

 

[Robot Chicken]

oh nice. How did they get the bottle into the Leeds side? The netting is there permanently??

 

[Starry]

It was thrown by a fan who was on the pitch at the time and I am not certain the netting was even there at the fa cup game, think it may have just been a no-mans land, it was there this season but didn't stop them (and us - not me personally, mind) launcing coins etc.

 

[Robot Chicken]

That is disgusting, stuff like that should result in a long ban

 

[Telboy]

I would have thought there were between 500 and 600

It tells a story though, that we can take 2k+ to Bristol City and only 500 -ish across the bridge from there.

Scum ground, scum fans, scum chairman.....

(nb - the city itself is ok, just the shite that connect themselves to the football club)

..... you reap what you sow...

 

[Willow]

I wouldn't put it at many more that 350.

 

[Another Berkshire Seagull]

this piccy is missing all those who sat down. I'd say 450ish.

 

[The Laughing Bluebird]

Scum ground, scum fans, scum chairman.....

Love you too!


Scum ground? That's rich coming from an Albion fan.....

 

[Hydro Driven]

SEAGULLS!!!!!!!!

 

[Brighton Breezy]

My friend got a dart thrown at him at an away game at Chesterfield.

Id rather be hit by piss then a dart.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

Richie

Did he get a double top, or was he just going for a double?

[MidlandSeagull69]

i'd guess at around 400, there must of been some problem with all the STH's not getting there allocation, someone at the club has made a mistake in not getting the tickets out to all the loyal STH's in time.

well what other reason could there be for such a piss poor turn out?

It will take a long time for the Cardiff reputation to disappear. In fact it probably never will.

I had a good day out yesterday with my 2 year old daughter. One steward asked me to put her down so I could be searched but was soon asked "what are you doing?" by one of his colleagues and I was spared the frisking I had been looking forward to.

Being a bright chap he soon spotted the 'Fruit Shoot' bottle she was carrying - "She's got a bottle, she's got a bottle!" he excitedly shouted.

"And if she can reach the pitch with it, I'll give her another one" replied his colleague with an apologetic face.

I happen to think Ninian Park is a great football stadium capable of a really decent atmosphere - there are not many grounds where the home fans lead the way in the singing stakes - it's just a shame the intimidating often went too far.
