Bar BS3 Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I hope not, otherwise with it being on a Friday night and on sky, there will probably be no more than about 200 who bother going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestfieldRed Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Brainless to play the fixture on a Friday night in the first place. Saturday lunchtime would make sense if they wanted to free up the travel options, not that it does the atmosphere much good. I'm almost certain we'll be herded and marched to the ground again.

As angry as being herded around makes me, that anger only adds to the spice of a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I really hope not. My in laws live 10 minutes from the ground so we can easily make a weekend of it, but the bubble scuppers that. Seems ridiculous and unfair that one police force would deem a bubble necessary, but not the other for the return fixture. Is the "danger" of this fixture overstated by the police? Has their been any significant trouble in recent times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AberRed Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 Hi everyone! Long time City fan and reader, very occasional poster! Has there been any development on this? I live in Cardiff and the ground is literally about 15 minutes walk from my house, so really hoping this isn't a bubble game otherwise it's an awful lot of fuss for a match so close to me.

Admin phantom Posted September 5, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted September 5, 2016 For those mentioning about living near Cardiff, even with the "bubble" last season some of our fans were able to collect their tickets from the Cardiff ground. Two examples I know that happened last season, one family live in Cardiff and were able to get their tickets at the ground, other friends I know came a long way by train and were also allowed to collect at the ground. "Personally" speaking with it being a Friday night and the Severn tunnel being closed, this is the prime time to lower the restrictions on the fixture, we know Cardiff City FC don't want the bubble so hoepully common sense may finally prevail?
