And at least three games a season for the next five or six years. I could name the team that played when you were in the First Division then. Saw the top sides like Wolves, Pompey who won First Div in 1949 & 1950, Tottenham and Blackpool with Stan Matthews. Dad and I always wanted Bristol City to win against you, and for me it's a very close second to beating the other lot in north Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True fact in the 90’s, worst period in our history. We got 23000 ST holders this season which is pretty good I think, clearly they are not all showing up and who can blame them. Hearing Bellamy might be having an interview now which I’d take all day long over Neil “cheap going nowhere option’ Harris. He will bring through the youth and play decent football like the u18’s he left a few weeks ago still do. Rumours they can beat our first team....:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I know always looked east to you lot for rivalry, the jacks and Newport were always looked at as a sort of annoying little brother who you never gave any thought about until you had too. Bristol City however, tended to often be with us or possibly a league above us so you naturally want to eclipse that. Also a bigger wealthier city that always seemed to do better in all other aspects. I believe this gap has narrowed in the last 20 years along with a growing rivalry on the pitch as we’ve often been above you. I still hope for that Severn estuary barrage to be built between Cardiff bay and Bristol area, free electricity and a 20 minute drive between two top cities.....it will happen one day......

Neil harris or warnock? I can see mr tan regretting this in the long run. He sure will. I reckon Harris will be gone by April. Shocking decision really. Tan clearly doesn’t care about getting back up, doesn’t care about money either, maybe he has too much? In a poll on one of our sites I think only 2% of fans wanted Harris so what does the board do? Going back to the bad old red days almost......clueless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Cardiff fans moaning but I think that’s a good appointment. He’s done well at Millwall for years with a tight budget. Think he’ll do well there, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I don’t think it’s an appointment that exactly inspires confidence, especially at a club freshly out of the Premier League & arguably in a much better financial position than when they went up! Having put up with a few years of ‘Warnock football’, if I was a Cardiff fan (which luckily I’m not) I would be hoping for someone to bring a bit of excitement back to the club & Harris wouldn’t be top of that list, he doesn’t inspire me as someone who is going to play attacking football or be able to bring in exciting footballers, he’s built his teams around big old fashioned centre-halves & work horse midfielders & his aim has always seemed to be to stop the opposition from scoring, which I know is a sound foundation to build from but he’s very rarely had any ideas of what to do if his team has gone a goal down or more apart from to send on a Morrison / Matt Smith type sub on to try & rescue things, very similar to Warnock! He had a good few years at Millwall but never really seemed to have a plan for the future, never really seemed to build on previous seasons. Would I be pleased if Harris was lined-up to take over from LJ? Nope, definitely not, there has to be better options out there, even if you are only looking at the out of work options out there. Am I happy that Cardiff have employed him? Definitely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted November 17, 2019 Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 I don't think it's an appointment that'll have them in relegation trouble or anything like that, but it's not inspiring either. And when you've had 3 years of Warnock's football, you don't want someone who plays the same way but isn't as successful with it as Warnock was.
