I've been to a few big prem games recently. It's a global event really. There are scores of people in high vis jackets outside anfield, giving out info on where to go, where your ticket is for, how to get home etc. Why? because it's a tourist event now, not just a game for locals. People come to these games from all over the world, it's a different thing to most football matches. It's neither good nor bad, its just different.

I'd like to say that they don't really get it and they are missing out on what football is all about, and I do still believe that. But less so than I did. What makes CCFC "Cardiff" any more?
I beg to differ , even in the eighties south wales , Sussex even fecking london was infested with these sad glory seekers

You from Sussex mate ? Support Brighton

You from oxford mate ? Support oxford

You from south wales ? Well support swansea cardiff or newport then

Plastic sad cases

It's even worse since the premiership has taken over , cant bear to be in the company of someone from south wales who supports liverpool , united etc , it's like having a pint with a tory
