Easy would have back in my day if it hadn't been such a dump

 

[dazzer6666]

I hadn't been to the bureau de change, before leaving.

Also I tried to get something around the stadium after the game, no.
I think I must have spied somewhere on the outskirts of Cardiff, but it wasn't 24 hour.
I then stopped at a third place, nothing, and at that point I gave up until I was back in the 21st century.

Definitely Maccy D's, Subway and KFC, plus an enormous ASDA, right next to the ground......or were you looking for fine dining and/or craft beer ?

 

[Notters]

Bit surprised about this as much prefer Everton as an away day and the travel time is pretty similar, plus it's on a Sunday lunchtime.

Saturday lunchtime! (Not being pedantic just thought you should know in case you are going!)

I was in the Subway and it all started to get a bit silly between a few of the natives, so I decided to leave before I outed myself as 'not from round here, are you?'.

It's all slowly coming back to me, although I'll be jiggered if I can remember any of the game.

I'd waiting to see how long it would be before Ppf posted a link to a youtube video. Think he's started slacking a bit, would have been on the first page in days gone by.

Maybe he's taking his own advise and moving with the times.

Pity he can't **** off from the site though, isn't it.

Not a question. Statement of fact.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Sure, because Barcelona and Cardiff, geographically, are about the same.

nothing to do with geography other Cardiff would not be in the ENGLISH Premier League , more because neither might not want to be in their national league.

4.5 hours each way by coach verses 6.5 hours.....

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Still? No, probably not, as it was demolished in 2009.

True, and it was grim despite the grill between us and the Cardiff fans.

 

[Madafwo]

I went in December 2016 and it was a horrific 90 minutes of Warnock anti football typified by the home fans getting in on the time wasting act by keeping the ball when it went out for a throw in. I won't ever be going back.

I remember going to Ninian Park early 80s and had to leg it down the players tunnel with a couple of mates on final whistle, it was that or get a good thumping.

 

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

I went to Ninian park in 84, terrifying experience added to by Brighton winning 4-2. If there was one game i was happy to lose it was this - talk about hitting a hornets nest with a stick. Dozens of Cardiff remove from the away end during the match.

My first away day as a 16 year old. My nose has never been the same shape since

 

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

It's amazing how times HAVE changed - less than 20 years ago, most fans would have given Cardiff a swerve because of the bother.

Case in point, around 2000-2003 time (ish, don't quote me exactly) we had Bristol City and Cardiff away in two successive away matches.....we took something like 350-400 max to Cardiff (and some of our fans got turned over badly, as was mentioned on here years ago and 2.5 thousand went to Bristol for a great day out and a Bobby/Lee Steele (cannot remember!) victory. Cardiff and Bristol are pretty close...…...but who seriously wanted the aggravation of Cardiff away back in the day, unless you were Daz or his mates?

Anyway, fair play to the masses going Saturday, especially as it's on the box and we'll get a draw at best.

Did it affect your tongue too?

 

[essbee1]

I'm going again after 2015 and 2016. All my relatives are Cardiff City - so please, please CH and the lads - don't let me down like the 2015 debacle.

 

[theboybilly]

Cant remember which year but what about the game we were stuffed there 4-1 rings a bell where there was a hurricane blowing and persistent rain? it was terrible.

I've never come out of a modern stadium so sodden. Horrible day all round really and this will be the first game I miss this season.
