glastonred Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Is Ninian Park really a cauldron of hate? I have always avoided going there because of being told that Cardiff's fans are as bad as Millwall's, and that away fans risked getting attacked. Is this really the case? I would love to go next season, but I would not want to put myself, or my friends at risk. Could somebody please enlighten me, and tell me it's not true.

The Casual Connoisseur Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Trust me when I say, don't WORRY!I will say no more.the police have it sewn up outside the ground. the only problems that ever arise at Ninian Park ar caused by the lax attitude of the Stewards who will NOT EVER even try to stop the Cardiff chavs from playing up, they are the opposite of the AG stewards.

TinnionForEngland Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 The ones i chat to, albeit online, are fine and i could go for a drink and a chat with them no problem, they are only interested in the football, but they have alot of idiots, but i wouldn't worry.

RJ Red Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I have been plenty of times and even went on the train and as alerady said there is nothing to worry about!I imagine it will be coach travel only and it will be a case of going into the ground to watch the game and then straight back on the coach after.It is always good fun though to see a group of 50 or so welsh odd balls jumping around on the left hand side of where we will be seated. (especially when murray scored twice within 10 minutes) I think now though they have put up more netting etc as i remember a few objects thrown in the general direction of the away fans as the stewarding there is so laid back they are practically falling over!In a nutshell, a good day out and def worth going!

Rob k Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Go on the train and stick with the main bulk of the city fans and you will be fine, usually put in a pub by the police, if you walk about in small numbers being loud and its obvious your City you will be bullied.

Jurssey Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 It'll be much the same as last season v Swansea I reckon.Only time I went on the coach but that was the easiest I have been in/out of a city and a ground for many years.Will be fine but coaches only definitely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff65 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Lived in Wales for 20+ years, first time I went I stood in with the Cardiff Fans and my goal celebration to Super Bob scoring was muted to say the least. 2nd time I went I went with the wife and my eldest son who was in the push chair at the time - we went in with my friends same age, their eldest same age ala pushchair and we went in together.Times change last time I went was in play off semi- final - had to travel to Bristol to catch a coach to Cardiff (tickets handed out on coach), watch match, get in coach, travel to Bristol and travel again back to Wales. The amount of verbal abuse was matched on both sides with the bizaare accustations of sheep s****ing being raised by both sets of fans.Will I go to Cardiff - not if they insist on coaches (which I happen to agree with) due to the length of travelling time to watch a match in a stadium 20 miles from my home.Cardiff fans are samee as any other fans in so much that if you start talking to them about footy they have the same views and biases as everyone else, the intensity or aggression towards rival supporters only develops on the weekend of the match and only against their fierstest rivals (eg us and swansea). Get on the coach and enjoy the day out - the police have everything sewn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
