Last time I was in Cardiff on a match day, the kick-off actually took place in the pub!!!!!

I think that’s the problem. They used to March you to a designated pub wether you wanted to go or not.

Inevitability it would end up trashed.

Does that mean City fans just roam the streets then?

They’ll want all the City fans in the concourse early doors. That’ll be the only place that will serve alcohol…

This happened about 3-4 years ago, the last time I went to Cardiff. This was a Sunday midday KO.

This will always be the case when going to Cardiff now sadly.

Last time I went it was that stupid “pick your tickets up from the services” game.

And yet Cardiff and Swansea fans can wander off to the waterfront when they come here or at the very least they can go to the Wetherspoons at Temple Meads.

Swansea was a Friday night last season too!

Madness.

The police have said: ‘Received questions from several BristolCity fans around 'away friendly pubs' for Cardiff on Saturday. I'm sorry to update that pubs in Cardiff  will either be closed or only accepting home fans.’

Therefore, the following options will need to be checked beforehand to see if away fans will be allowed.

The Landsdowne, 71 Beda Road, Canton, Cardiff, CF5 1LX, https://www.facebook.com/thelansdownecardiff/ a 13 minute walk to the CCS.

Canton Rugby Club, 33 Lawrenny Avenue, Cardiff, CF11 8BR, https://www.pitchero.com/clubs/cantonrfc/ an eight minute walk to the ground.

Gol Centre, Lawrenny Avenue, Cardiff, CF11 8BR a 12 minute walk to the CCS.

City Arms, 10-12 Quay Street, Cardiff, CF10 1EA. City-centre alehouse decorated with pump clips from across the globe; Brains ales and several guests from Wales and beyond (some tapped from the cask), tasting trays available, also plenty of draught/bottled continentals and real cider, friendly knowledgeable staff, no food; some live music, darts; open all day (till 2am Fri and Sat), very busy on rugby match days.1880s pub with a big real ale selection, https://sabrainpubs.com/pubs-and-hotels/south-wales/cardiff/city-arms a 27 minute walk from the ground.

Prince of Wales, 81–83 St Mary Street, CF10 1FA, Spoons. Vast pub in grand old theatre with original stucco decoration and dining area opposite the stage. https://www.jdwetherspoon.com/pubs/all-pubs/wales/cardiff/the-prince-of-wales-cardiff a 28 minute walk to the ground.

Heathcock, 58-60 Bridge Street, CF5 2EN. About a ten minute drive from the ground and certainly not a typical away pub, recommended for its beer and food. Part local pub and part informal dining room. The bar is half-panelled and simply decorated: in one corner there are some chunky leather stools and a leather wall banquette plus some elegant modern stools, high-backed farmhouse and other wooden chairs around a mix of tables on bare boards and a few high chairs against the counter where helpful staff serve up to four real ales on handpump from the Glamorgan and Wye Valley, a couple of craft beers/lagers, 13 wines by the glass and some interesting spirits including home-made fennel liqueur. The uncomplicated décor and mix of wicker and wooden chairs around chunky tables on more floorboards in the restaurant keeps the atmosphere easy-going and relaxed; a former skittles alley acts as an overflow area when things get really busy. There are picnic tables in the back garden among tubs of flowers. https://heathcockcardiff.com

Cambrian Tap, 51 St Mary Street, Cardiff, CF10 1AD. City-centre corner pub popular for its extensive range of Brains beers plus guests, 18 handpumps in total, several more bottled beers, friendly knowledgeable staff, nice home-made pies; open mike and comedy nights, open all day. https://sabrainpubs.com/pubs-and-hotels/south-wales/cardiff/cambrian-tap

Cricketers, 66 Cathedral Road, Cardiff, CF11 9LL. Victorian townhouse in quiet residential area backing on to Glamorgan CC; well kept Evan Evans ales and enjoyable freshly made food; jazz supper club Thurs; children welcome, sunny back garden, open (and food) all day, no food Sun evening. https://cricketerscardiff.co.uk

Just signed up to say, the last few years post Covid we haven’t been allowed in any pubs in Bristol either. 
 

We eventually got in to the spoons up near the museum, but even then the owner said that we weren’t Supposed to be allowed in. 
 

This season we went back to the pub near Bristol Parkway station. The police tried to get us out of there as well, it’s only because our mate lives in that area that we were allowed to stay. 
 

there would be a lot less tension on both sides, if they just let people go into a pub until 90 mins before kick off or what have you.
