  • How many posters on here ……

    are young enough to have only been supporting the City since we’ve been in the championship?
    This will be your first taste of relegation.
    Hope it doesn’t put you off. There are plenty of us oldies who’ve been through it before.
    I made the fatal mistake of first visiting Ninian Park in the mid 70’s.
    There was a sign above each Bob bank turnstile saying “Abandon Hope, all ye who enter here”
    I should have turned around then and *****d off toot sweet. 😂

    Can't imagine there's anyone here who doesn't remember the len ashurst days to be honest. I'd be amazed if so.

      this will be my first taste of relegation from the championship in memory, I can remember relegation to the bottom division and obviously from the premier League

        It does make you think doesn't it. There are kids who became fans, who could now be as old as perhaps 30, who have never seen Cardiff City relegated below division 2.

          Anyone in their 20’s wouldn’t have too many bad memories, surely ?

              I long for the Riverside years when it was all just fields around here

                I think that the average age of posters on here Bill is pretty high, but……it will be the first time that my youngest son has experienced relegation from the Championship. His two brothers were at the League 1 play off final win at the Millennium at least.

                  You have missed the years of struggles and the gallows humour.

                    Fair play genuinely thought everyone here was well over 40.

                      I saw us relegated in my first full season supporting, 99/00.

                      We finished one point behind…. Oxford Utd!

                        And that was also our Centenary Season of course.

                        We really know how to **** up a celebration don’t we.

                            Are you forgetting two relegations from the premier league?

                              Started going in 2001, only really remember life in the second division and above. I said a while back I'd be more likely to renew if we went down than stayed up (though in truth I'd have renewed regardless). I'm simply just not that phased by relegation, yes it's very very disappointing but we've been playing bogging football for years and winning very few games so it's not like there's going to be a dramatic drop off in standard, it's par for course almost in my head.

                              Not much will change for me, I'll still go travel back from London for games, I'll still have my season ticket. Is what it is, maybe we get a great escape, which would be fun.
