Cardiff seem to struggle to get any decent capacity as well so the actual stadium might be dead on the night! If you look at their CCMB forum one of them is predicting a 12k attendance (amongst the many predicting relegation)! How the 'mighty' have fallen. A lesson to be learnt there me thinks.

A new ground for me (I went to Ninian park but not their new place). I can't see that many going though. Happy to be proved wrong. Cardiff away is just not what it once was. The new stadium is not bad although it is Lego. What people don't allow for is there are a lot that have turned their back as a result of Tan. The intimidation is gone. It's too easy and simple to blame the new ground, it's not solely down to that - although Ninian was fantastic as an intimidating place . When they changed kit colour it hit some of their core, passionate support very hard. It's hard to praise anything Cardiff, but I do those who have stayed away and will continue to until Tan has gone. Once he has, perhaps Cardiff away will be somewhat like what it used to be, except the fans being so close to the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 No trains , ques at toll booth on bridge between 4.30-6 can be 45 mins plus on a Friday night, cats leaving at 4.30!! And on sky. Maxium 1000 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedorDead BCFC Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I live over this side and travel back to Chepstow from Cardiff on Friday nights. Most Fridays the traffic is standstill back to Magor around 5-5:30 but last Friday it was half way down the M48. I don't know if this is because of the tunnel closure but just the past week it's been terrible driving by Newport. Ive got a function in Cardiff that day and night so can't go, but might be worth finding out about driving into Chepstow and getting the train from there if there are more realistic train times getting back to Chepstow .

wendyredredrobin Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Watching it in the pub on Sky with a couple of shandys for me. On current form, 3 points are looking very likely. Looking forward to the Blackburn game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Yeah it wont be many. People have work, its on TV and its always a hassle with those stupid restrictions. Id be very surprised if it was much more than 1000. I think we'll probably have more at QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I hate the generic bowl design, I don't think the ground itself has much to do with it - it's the change of culture, the disconnect of the fans, and the sheer number of empty seats that have come with it. Wales v Belgium was phenomenal there, so it has the potential to create a proper atmosphere. Quite happy to see the sellouts struggle though!

I mean, they were never going to replicate Ninian because that was one of its own, outdated, but unique in its intimacy and intimidation factor. I think only a change in owner would give Cardiff that little spice that it is lacking. Personally I hope that happens, and in a way I do feel for their fans. Whilst some sold out, a number really, really didn't and its chasing those day trippers that don't turn up anymore that has hurt them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're unsure I'd check the email receipt to see if you paid the extra £1 for postage. If not I imagine you'll be able to collect from the club shop.

Dolman Block B Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Just checked with First Great Western. This applies to either Temple Meads or Parkway.

Lew-T Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 All that rubbish of it being on Sky. It's about a 50 minute drive! It takes me longer sometimes to get down the Gate when the traffic is bad! We're doing so well and Cardiff have made a very poor start, so it should be a entertaining game for the away supporters you'd think. If we take less than last year then that's very poor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityboy Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I assume we've sold out now then, given that I can't see the option of Cardiff tickets on the Bristol sport ticketing website.

Atmosphere against them has been dead against them since they moved from Ninnian Park. All adds up to a (close) no from me. Shame as it was always the game I looked for, now it's just a bit 'meh'. Will save my cash for a better away day. Still expect a 1,000 plus though I would have thought. Completely gone against my initial thoughts and now succumbed and bought tickets. Who was I kidding!

Would normally go to this but whether Friday or Saturday- totally put off ages ago by the potential nightmare journey - now I get to sit in my house drinking beer, eating pizza and cradling my nads - perfick!!
