We have a bizarrely precious fanbase, see also the fume about Mark Harris scoring for Oxford against us
It's amusing people on social media moaning about participants of a charity game when most people commenting wouldn't attend even if it was an all city legends match.Quote:

Trundle is one of several Swansea stars invited to run out on the day, with Leon Britton and Angel Rangel also pencilled in to line up for Marshall's international XI.
However, Trundle, seemingly aware of his frosty and somewhat turbulent relationship with Cardiff fans, has offered to step aside if his appearance is likely to have a negative impact.
Taking to social media, he said: "No banter at all here. I was playing to help raise money but if it affects people coming to watch I won’t play as I don’t want the Chairty [sic] to lose out.
"I was only getting involved to try and help @Health_Charity and help raise as much funds as possible."
Responding to a fan, he added: "I do get where they are coming from.
"I get stick on here and I give it back but they are thinking worst case scenario for them in the league and I’m at their ground the week after."
And here is the issue, He and most who read what the clown posts on socials know he will not be able to help himself if we get relegatedQuote:

Thinking about it - seems about 1000 tickets sold (£10,000 raised so far)
Another 300 tickets available
Hoping you can pay on the gate
trundle injured apparently
It was a really enjoyable occasion. Great to see so many ex-players turn up in their own time, at their own expense, to support the charity. It just showed how well respected Len was at the club.
David Marshall is still more mobile and athletic than our current glove wearer, and there were some decent touches from Jay Bothroyd and Lee Tomlin in particular.
What was the crowd? It is a shame that it never really took off and it's a really quite sad given the back story. Just goes to show how some things can gain momentum and others not, based on the general mood around the club.Quote:

Hard to tell what the crowd was. 1000+ maybe? We were in 205 and that and 206 and 7 were almost full, if not full. Not sure if the blocks on the other side of the tunnel were used or not. All of the hospitality boxes were full but I assume they were used for friends and family of the players.Quote:

Didn't seem well advertised by the club but I suspect current apathy around the place doesn't help even if it's a charity match.
Did trundle play, read a few posts up he was injured.
no, its funny he didnt mention his injury the week before, he just didnt fancy it, I think the ex-City players who still love the club might have felt he over did it a little with his Gloating ( Banter )Quote:
