I cant 'like' 'thank' and ' laugh' in the same response so consider it all three. Looking forward to the match tomorrow. My son is bringing his mate who is a cardiff fan and sitting with us in W3 Dolman- any advice? He took my son to the cardiff away match and he sat in the home end and managed to scream jump around and celebrate in his head. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Only advice I have is don’t be too sheepish with your son’s mate before kick off, but when we are two up certainly start bleating and at halftime ram it home by inviting him to anything woolen he wants from the Club shop. 1 2 Quote Link to comment
ashton_fan Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm expecting a tough game today, Cardiff have a decent away record it's their home form that has let them down, they recently picked a point at WBA and have had some tricky fixtures in the last few games, we'll need to be at our best to win.

CheddarReds Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 I'm about as confident as I can be before a big game (derby, bit of a 6 pointer). The cardiff team we played earlier in the season were poor and by all accounts haven't improved much since. Giles is a big loss for them and we've got a good record against those below us this season too. Fingers crossed. COYR. 2 Quote Link to comment
hertsexile Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 By sounds of things Moore is also out so that good for defence. Although we most not the old boy factor Flint or Pack to score on return to the gate!! Here’s hoping for a performance in front of a the sol out gate COYR Quote Link to comment

Here’s hoping for a performance in front of a the sol out gate COYR Their latest team news: Will be without Kieffer Moore, who is still recovering from an ankle problem which saw him hobble off against Bournemouth. He is stepping up his recovery after missing 10 days of training due to contracting Covid-19 and this game will come too soon for him, Steve Morison has said. New boy Tommy Doyle has registered in time to take part in the Severnside derby, though, while Max Watters is in contention for the first time following his return from his loan stint with MK Dons. Leandro Bacuna will be back in contention after his three-match suspension has been served. Isaac Vassell is the long-term absentee. Quote Link to comment
cityexile Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) Looking at the table, draw would not be awful, but hoping for the win. Bit worried about what Nostradamus had to say however ‘The Apocalypse will be foreshadowed by a year of great pestilence throughout the land, when robins are slaughtered at a craven cottage, and afore the moon has waned are reincarnated in the West and butcher many blue birds upon the gate’.

22A Posted January 22, 2022 Report Share Posted January 22, 2022 Their fans aren't discussing the game soo much as related topics. https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php?451738-Covid-stays-at-Bristol I read on the CCFC website that fans will need to show Covid status before admittance to the Bristol game. Is this a new thing? There was nothing like that at Birmingham recently. https://www.ccmb.co.uk/showthread.php?451739-Away-pub-for-tomorrow Morning All, news from Bristol: the Knights Templar is not opening tomorrow until 11.00hrs, and there is no designated pub for Cardiff fans as nobody wants to take them unfortunately. Beer will be available at the Stadium. The Commercial Rooms (wetherspoons) is around at 15 minute walk from Temple Meads, it opens at 8am. Quote Link to comment

Not happened for a while has it? Brilliant! As a boy I spent a few hours at Ninian Park. My Dad, the son of a Somerset lad (Claverham), dragged screaming and kicking to the Rhondda by his parents who wanted the work in the mines in place of unemployment, always organised his trips back home from Bristol so that he could see a match en route. Not that he supported them, he just loved football (and rugby). His team as a child was Merthyr Tydfil. When he was a boy, he came to Bristol with his Dad to visit an uncle in Coronation Road. If City were home in the Wedlock days, it was off to Ashton Gate for all the males. When he moved to Bristol to work at BAC in 1930's, his team became BRISTOL CITY and a win over Cardiff was the one he prized most. So come on City, do this one for my Father. And the rest of us! 4 Quote Link to comment

Quite a few years ago now lived in Llandaff, and in fairness Cardiff was quite a fun city in which to live in my relative youth. When I could not get across the bridge would often go to the old Ninian Park, because ‘football’. Mainly bottom two leagues stuff. Still got one or two mates from then who are bluebirds through and through, so bragging rights worth double today! 1 Quote Link to comment

Interesting post @cidered abroad I remember having a very Welsh great great Uncle who had worked down the mines all his life. Must have done the same by going over for the work as cousin did DNA test which showed no Welsh blood. For all the grief and abuse we give them at football I have always found the Welsh very humble and welcoming people (On a non Cardiff v City match day anyway!) 1 Quote Link to comment

So much for the fluid forward play we have enjoyed recently, with old slow coach back in. 1 Quote Link to comment
