Are you bothered?

“The only positive I can think of, is getting home quicker on a Saturday”

Do you mean from home games or away fixtures ?

Because from where I’m sat, (not in the stadium), away games are further in league 1 than the championship (not counting Boro, & Sunderland)

Peterborough, Lincoln, Stockport, Blackpool, there are some stinkers in there

Re: Are you bothered?

I can totally understand the positivity around the potential of going down to reset, with new owners, new direction, some ambition.

I don’t think it will be the reality though. I think Tan will stay, with just more slow and bad decisions, even less money, less players, worse attendances, maybe not worse managers because we already employ managers who won’t get employed anywhere else in the top 3 leagues.

More of the same, just worse. Are we going to spend five years there being apathetic about going down to league two because there’ll be a chance to reset?

Also for anyone who doesn’t remember, it’s a hard league to get out of

The only positive I can think of, is getting home quicker on a Saturday

All good points but Exeter and Bristol Rovers away would be good fun on the train mind 🤷

Home games, I don’t get away much anymore. Although I remember doing an evening game at Peterborough years ago. What a shithole that was

There’s a few away games that might be decent, Blackpool id enjoy, and like james said Exeter and Bristol rovers but overall it looks very grim let’s be honest

Re: Are you bothered?

As the tables stand we'd be looking at:
Huddersfield
Reading
Leyton Orient
Barnsley
Blackpool
Stevenage
Lincoln
Rotherham
Wigan
Exeter
Bristol Rovers
Mansfield
Northampton
Peterborough
Walsall
Bradford
Doncaster
3 from Wrexham, Charlton, Stockport, Bolton
1 from Notts County, Wimbledon, Port Vale, Crewe
Plus whichever 2 came down with us.

Actually I’d be tempted by Reading and Walsall, easy trips, but fair play there’s some shit games
among all those

Re: Are you bothered?

I’d call it numb rather than apathy. The performances are sleep inducing and when it’s cold too and ground half empty it’s hard to raise enthusiasm. Perhaps a second goal at 1-0 would have livened the place up. Maybe an atom worth of attacking endeavour would have created an atmosphere before 9pm.

Re: Are you bothered?

It's not apathy to realise that the team is very poor at this level and and, as a result, relegation would not come as a surprise.

Re: Are you bothered?

We are £100 Million in debt and with financial fair play if we go down we are shagged.

Financial fair play completely different in league 1

Rather than profit and loss, you can only spend a percentage of your income on wages

Hence why Birmingham have blasted money about

Probably be easier to control

Could add Stevenage, Orient & Exeter to my 83, look on the bright side

We could be looking at a division where we've played 15 of the other sides in the Championship since 2003.

Apathy abounds after all these years….20 years ago it would have affected me for days on end, like the Blackpool playoff which lasted weeks last night I’d moved on with relegation by 10.30

I think the red nonsense weakened the emotional bond many have with the club and made apathy in situations such as now a bit more likely.

The fact watching CCFC at home has been so dull for at least 3-4 seasons only adds to it.

Re: Are you bothered?

I think you should widen your lens, society in general has become apathetic, downtrodden and accepting of their lot, this is not a Cardiff City thing, it's the UK in general..

I’m 62, and I can’t remember a time when the British public haven’t been apathetic, downtrodden and accepting of their lot.
