FT: CARDIFF CITY 2 - 1 SWINDON TOWN. Match thread

Swindon have sold just over 1,700 tickets now. Great following from them.

It'll be a fun night, seeing Swindon beat us.
Looking 4ward to Rotherham already.

Why would that be fun?

We’re a football club. We play football. Just get the game won and show some pride in what they are supposed to be engaged in.

Straight to pens tonight.
If we can hold on for a draw.

I usually give these games a miss, but it's a nice evening so thought I'd buy a ticket online. It won't let me buy anything in the Ninian Stand however - just 2 sections in Grandstand and 3 sections in Canton End. Wondering why this is ????

We haven't lost to Swinedon for over a million years.

Because hardly anyone is going so they only open a bit of the stadium...or maybe every where else is sold out, it's going to be a huge crowd and that is all that's left.

Because we’ve got a 33,000 seater stadium and will probably get a crowd of 5,000.

Even with 20% of the ground open, it’ll be sparse enough you could lie down across a few seats and have a kip in the sun if the game gets too dull.

Except the seats that are available will be in the shade...they should have opened the Ninian

Maybe the Ninian is sold out because of the good weather…

Strong team. They seem to be announced earlier too.

Trott, Kpakio, Fish, Chambers, Bagan, Wintle, Turnbull, Colwill R, Ashford, Davies, Robinson.

I'm surprised with how strong a line up that is. Perhaps he feels the players need games together to get up to speed with how he wants them to play

As someone said earlier in the thread, we haven't got enough players to put out a weakend team.

Correct, but this is a midweak team:hehe:

Glad to see BBM taking the cup games seriously. We’re in bloody loads this year so must be bound to win one

Hats off to BBM. We’ll still lose but can’t fault him for taking a football match seriously.
