Yea, lets do it.

Sounds really sad, but I was so distraught after the Plymouth match I just sat in my seat for a few minutes thinking the season was over. Didn't help that I had to go home to my wife who's a Plymouth fan and face my father-in-law who is an armchair Plymouth fan and thinks he's the most loyal supporter in the history of football, even though he goes to on average one game a season, (yep, some seasons he never goes). Their just the worse.

Finally, big reality check today, we are still joint top, with an unthinkable (at the start of the season) opportunity of getting to arguably the best league in the world. The way things are going a few wins out of the remaining fixtures could see us up. Plus its Cardiff away and its always great to remind them that their not English and how much they really wish that they were.

Therefore, getting ticket first thing in the morning, and just like Saturday giving that lads as much support as one human being can give. Now is the time to really raise the support, increase the intensity levels, do everthing possible to make this dream ticket become reality, because if it happened, if we, BCFC, got promote, it would be the best footballing year ever!

Come on you reds............

I hate the idea of a bubble match, and have said i wont go. I am tempted though.

However i don't get paid till Thursday when i would imagine they'd all be gone. Still, can save my money for more drinks in Southampton!!

Over the years Cardiff away has been one of my favourite trips but the thought of spending hours on a coach - most of it parked in a lay-by outside Cardiff has dampened my enthusiam.

The coaches leave AG at 11.15am and its no more than an hour to Cardiff which means that the coaches should be arriving at about 12.15pm. No way will the police allow 1700 City fans anywhere near NP so early - so the time will be spent sitting in a coach outside the City, surrounded by a poice escourt.

Why the coaches can't leave AG about 1pm and take the City fans straight to NP without stopping is a mystery to me. If that were that case then I'm sure the away tickets would have sold out by now.

Any way the bottom line is that I won't be going because of the time wasting and hassle.No doubt many other City fans are of the same opinion.

Its a real shame.If it wasn't a 'bubble match' I'd definately go.

I am also not going. Not because of the hassle, but on principle. I refuse to allow the club / police to infringe my civil liberties in this way. It's a shame, as I miss few away games and would definitely have gone had I been allowed, as a law-abiding citizen, to make my own way to the ground.

100% spot on. Being told when, where and how you have to travel is for school children, as for sitting on a coach, well that's a bad enough experience at any time let alone sat outside Cardiff for an hour with the rozzers all over the place

I'd imagine it will be a similar situation as with Swansea last season, where they take you somewhere just off the motorway and park up in the park & ride and wait for the police escort into the ground, at least there is some time to get off the coach for a bit.

at least with Swansea though there was a decent bar in the ground.

been to Cardiff plenty of times over the years and there has pretty much always been trouble and it's got to the case where it is either this, or just NO AWAY FANS, I know which I'd rather prefer.

I got mine today. Was a last minute decision because i completely disagree with having to go on the coach, and ninnian park is a sh*thole. However it is a bank holiday weekend, and i'll get bored of going to the pub for four days straight, so at least this breaks it up. Will be back in enough time for drinks in the Mardyke after anyway.

I've only been on the coaches once before about 8 years ago when i was about 14 (and i remember it being crap!). But whats the laws on drinking? i know your not supposed to take drink on, but how serious is it? anyone going to care if my bottle of coke is diluted with whiskey?

Anyone know if you can join the bus in Cardiff still? I live in Wales and damned if I'm going to cross the bridge only to come back here! So its £12 to travel from Cardiff services to...Cardiff City. Nice to see the fans looked after, then. Ive "infiltrated" twice in the past, but I have to say standing in the rain clapping THEM knocking us out the play-offs was the low point of my City-watching career! I even had stones thrown at me when I was there for a Welsh Cup match years ago with those mighty rivals of Cardiff..Aberystwyth Town! They are scum, no two ways about it.

Rugby is on at the Mill Stad on Saturday, double header match, Leicester Tigers v London Wasps - Kick Off 2:30pm then Saracens v Ospreys - Kick Off 5:15pm, Cardiff is going to be PACKED, getting into Cardiff is going to be a BLOODY NIGHTMARE!

which is possibly why the coaches are leaving Bristol and surrounding so early, I'm sure plenty would complain if they got their late because of the rugby traffic, to be honest considering the rugby is on, I'm surprised they haven't move the football to the Sunday.

Totally agree, of our little crew of 6 or 7 who go to places like Barnsley away on a Tuesday night, only one is going to this match. Understand why the police say it is coaches only but as said why can't they go at 1pm from the Gate?, if that was the case I'd be there, to and so would most of my mates.

It has to be done ZIUL. Every bubble game I've done, including Swansea last season, I've done the same trick. Gone to a shop the night before, bought a 2-litre bottle of Apple Tango, emptied it and refilled it with cyder. Shall be doing the same on Friday. It's not allowed but as long as you don't make it obvious you're boozing then they won't cotton on. It's far too long to be on a bloody coach that takes 40mins in a car and I can't imagine there'll be any served in the ground so needs must.

I've got a Cardiff mate who was in the same situation as you when they came down here. He had to get special dispensation from Ridsdale to make his own way down to the ground and into the Cardiff end because he didn't see the point in travelling from Bristol back to Cardiff to come back to Bristol again on the coaches. The whole policy's lunacy if you ask me. All it needs is sensible policing.

I'm getting on at Cardiff Gate services. There may still be spaces available. By the way I'm disappointed that people aren't going on principle. No one likes he situation but at he end of the day our boys in red are going into one of the most important games in years and I would have thought every red at heart city till I die type would be busting a gut to support them come what may. Don't stay away just because you don't like sitting on a coach for christ stake, get your asses down there and support the team in spite of the circumstances. We desperately need the 3 points. Bolox to principles, sometimes in life you have to do what you have to do and this is more important.

The last time I went on the official City coaches was to Millwall last season, and we know what happened there. After that utter shambles I said that I would never travel with the club again, especially after how the club handled itself in the aftermath of those events.

To be honest the club has done us a favour, because we now share the driving to away matches and the whole experience is better for the freedom it gives us.

But, I want to go to Cardiff, so I'm in. Yes It'll be an overlong journey, overpriced and overpoliced.

Mr Daniels may infiltrate my coca-cola bottle, walkman, paper and radio will also help to pass the time.

Bristol City Football Club need my support and I want to be there, so I'm going, and if we beat Cardiff you can keep me on the coach as long as you want 'cause it will take a lot more than that to dampen the delight of another 3 Championship points.

Well said.

I despise going by CATS and have done since I passed the age of 21! Combined with my dislike of "bubble" games means that Saturday before 3 will not be that enjoyable. However, this is a massive game for City and could see us put our promotion bid firmly back on track :fingerscrossed: :fingerscrossed:

I'll be there. Covered in p**s and bleeding from a coin to the temple no doubt, but I'll be there.

Come on City.

You're never on your own following the City especially in an environment like the away end at Ninian. All for one and one for all!

Now that is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard!!! We don't need reminding we're not english, in fact we wake up every day rejoicing in the fact we're Welsh. Bring on Saturday, I can't wait for a derby game at Ninian again. The last time we play you Wurzels was.... oh yeah play offs. What happened then again???????
