It’s a 1230 kick off for the Severnside derby and we are looking at doing the double for the second season running, having beaten them at home 2-0 back in August:

 

 

I got this perspective from a life-long Cardiff fan, although have absolutely no idea what he said ?

Gadewch i ni fod yn onest rydyn ni wedi bod yn f’in crap ers amser maith ac mae’r tymor hwn wedi bod hyd yn oed yn waeth nag arfer. Os llwyddwn i osgoi diraddio bydd hynny diolch i Blackpool, Huddersfield a Wigan, mae dal yn rhaid i ni chwarae Blackpool (i ffwrdd) a Huddersfield (cartref) ac i chwerthin ychwanegol mae ein gêm olaf o'r tymor yn Burnley.

O ran y peth, gadewch i ni ddweud nad ydyn ni'n ddim mwy na chriw o gollwyr sy'n caru defaid.

It’s on the red button.

Sabri Lamouchi had this to say pre-match: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02jfGFUNkRst9uXMC6dWRG92YhrnuXNYYbj9A9caqasE7bWTgfud6ZQt1wabMjXsbpl&id=108487214050

City fans snapped up an initial allocation of 2,846 tickets for the fixture in the Welsh capital plus an additional allocation of 383 tickets, as the Robins aim to win away against their Severnside rivals for the fourth successive year.

In September they sacked their manager Steve Morison: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/62947486 at the time they were in 18th place on 11 points. On 18 September 2022, following the sacking of Steve Morison, Hudson was appointed interim manager. On 14 November 2022, he was appointed as their permanent manager until the end of the 2022–23 season following his interim spell where they picked up thirteen points across eleven matches.

They then sacked Hudson in January following a 1-1 home draw against Wigan: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/64278574

At the end of January they  appointed former Nottingham Forest manager Sabri Lamouchi who became their fifth manager in two years, following Hudson (3 months in the job), Morison - who lasted 11 months - Mick McCarthy (10 months) and Neil Harris, who left in January 2021 after 14 months at the helm….. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64415848

Players in the recent past who’ve played for both teams include Pack, Flint and O’Dowda. Back in the days of my youth Brian Clark represented both teams and scored the only goal in a 1–0 victory for Cardiff City against Real Madrid in the first leg of the European Cup Winners Cup quarter-final in 1971.

The referee, who might be very busy, is Matthew Donahue, he started his career as an official at the age of just 14, before he gained promotion to the EFL list of assistants in 2014. After successive promotions through the refereeing ranks, he was promoted to the National List of Referees prior to the 2018/19 season. Donohue refereed 39 matches during his first season on the EFL circuit and continued his impressive rise when he was appointed to the Select Group 2 list of officials in the summer of 2019. He will be assisted by Richard Wild and Paul Hodskinson, the fourth official is Sam Purkiss.

Here’s a look back from a Cardiff City perspective: http://mauveandyellowarmy.net/seven-decades-of-cardiff-city-v-bristol-city-matches-7/

I don’t need much of an excuse to share this iconic clip, https://www.google.je/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiQorHbur_9AhW9RkEAHTDBBYcQwqsBegQICBAF&url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJv6xbV0pQo&usg=AOvVaw3Tig_fuh95AnvE2nr700IZ

With thanks to Jack Phillips here is his away guide:

Parking: There is limited street parking available around the Cardiff City Stadium, and two paid match day parking options available:

Gol Centres: CF11 8BR £5 Five minute walk from the stadium

Bessemer Road Market: CF11 8BA £5 5-10 minute walk to the stadium

Train: It's recommended if you're heading straight for the stadium that away fans get a train from Cardiff Central to Grangetown Station, which is around a 10 minute walk from the CCS. Cardiff Central is around a 25 minute walk from the stadium.

Food: Capital Shopping Park incorporates the Cardiff City Stadium, and includes: Greggs, Subway, Costa, McDonald's and KFC.

Cardiff chatter

  • Cardiff is the capital of Wales and the UK’s 11th largest city. It became the capital of Wales in 1955. It’s Europe’s smallest and one of its newest capital cities.
  • 9% of the population in Cardiff speak Welsh as well as English.
  • Cardiff was the first Fair Trade capital in the world.
  • The city has on average more hours of sunlight than Milan!
  • Cardiff is also known as the City of Arcades. It has the biggest concentration of Victorian, Edwardian and modern-day indoor shopping arcades in Britain.
  • The Principality Millenium Stadium has one of the largest sliding roofs in the world and is the second-largest stadium in the world with a fully retractable roof. It also currently uses falcons to scare off pigeons and small birds.
  • What’s the best way to draw attention to and promote your fast, easy, and affordable city buses? Would it be playing up the positive aspects of public transportation, or perhaps shattering unfounded stigma about the perceived socioeconomic standing of those who rely on buses? Would it involve a smart campaign that makes bus-riding seem more appealing and more convenient? If you said yes to any of the above bits, then you were clearly not a member of the think tank behind New Adventure Travel’s inexplicable “Ride Me All Day for £3” campaign. Rather than actually try to promote…you know, actual things having to do with riding the bus…the Cardiff-based company opted to use the tried and true method of just using good ol’ fashioned sex (see photo).
  • The Wales Millennium Centre has won the Loo of the Year Awards twice.
  • Westgate Street in the centre of the city used to be a river.
  • The city has the oldest record store in the world. Spiller’s dates back to 1894 and it used to sell wax records for the newly invented phonograph!
  • Cardiff won the title of European City of Sport twice, in 2009 and 2014.
  • Singers Shirley Bassey and Charlotte Church, as well as comedian Griff Rhys-Jones and footballer Ryan Giggs, were all born in Cardiff.
  • Famous children’s writer Roald Dahl was not only born in Cardiff, he also grew up in Llandaff. There he is also famous for slipping a dead mouse inside a jar of sweets in a sweet shop where the shopkeeper was particularly unkind to him.

Pubs

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

Finally, wherever you are watching and cheering on the Reds, enjoy it, come on you Reds!

Expecting Mehmeti to start in place of Bell

Barring any knocks that would be my only change from side that started against Man City, although I suspect NP may start Cornick (for whom the jury is still out, in my book) in placed of Wells. Just hope we don't have Weimann starting in place of Sykes.

Unless you leave ridiculously early on street parking is usually rammed. Last year I managed to eventually get a space on Virgil St, alongside Sevenoaks Park. After match was a pain as the old bill herded all the City fans along Sloper Road towards Grangetown Station. My daughter and I had to hang back and slip out of the Police cordon to get back to our car.

Out of interest did you want Weimann to start last year?

Sykes might well need a rest, he was the only one of the front six to play the full 90 v both Hull & Man City.

Expect Cornick to start after being cup tied midweek.

Looking at the various betting sites the predictable likely anticipated score will be 2-2. However, I see a fairly comprehensive away win for us today and it will be a 3-1 win to us. COYR

I walked through just after 9 when they were leaving. I followed the last coach along Marina dolman way, and counted 10 coaches, but could have easily missed the initial departures. Anyway safe journey to anyone on their way to Cardiff. Three points would make it a good week.

Hello all.  Always expect a good game against the Bluebirds, all the directions and advice here, takes me back to my days with Cardiff Bus. I retired in 2006, in those days Ninian Park was right next door to the bus depot, whenever they played at home the routes 1 and 2 had to be diverted as that part of Sloper Road was closed and those routes were sent via Bessemer Road. Brings back lot's of good memories of my 13 years there and I got lots of stick in the canteen for being a Robins fan. It was all good banter though. Anyway let's hope the Cup defeat hasn't lessen the boy's fighting spirit and they get a good result. So Come On You Reds,!
