Plastics City v Man City
No idea which City will win but if we do I hope we have a league 2 team at home in the last 16 to identify the real Plastics in our crowd.
Bitter Moi?
No I am in Marrakech playing golf.

This is a Cardiff City message board. If you don't like people wanting to watch Cardiff City then maybe it isn't for you?

Re: Plastics City v Man City
My two 16 year old sons have become season ticket holders this season. They go in gang of 8 boys 3 of whom were Liverpool/Man utd 'fans' last season but are now City fans. With their spare tickets for this game they've got another 4 mates from their school going. If only 1 or 2 of them get the bug - the club wins
They are all looking forward to the game
Hopefully they'll avoid people who spout the plastics and I'm a better fan than you nonsense. We've lost too many fans over ruddy principles recently. Lets welcome the new breed and not hark on about it. A high profile game will always attract more fans lets hope they enjoy themselves and come back again

It's a messageboard not a boss people about forum :hehe:
The subject is overdone to death he has a point..
Although to add a comment, plenty of people I know would rather support the big teams, look out for us if we're doing well...many though don't like the attitude of some corners of our support who think they are football fan God's for supporting Cardiff city..pathetic attitude to have really.

Rest assured your sons, their friends and their mates are not plastics.
When they have been going for a year on a regular basis they will be able to recognise the plastics.
The win at Mansfield away was fabulous especially as Mansfirld were maybe better than us until we went 2-1 up in the second half.
It’s the Hey it’s a chance to see Man Citybwith no effort bozos that annoy the diehards.
The win in round three will make the club £250k
Hopefully win or lose they will all turn up for the next home game too.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Oh dear!
Would you rather the match was played in front of 6k like the Mansfield game?
Surely occasions like this will create more fans and regular supporters for future games.
Can you explain why it is anything other than a good thing?

Annoy the diehards? Since when have you become the official spokesman?
Would you like a vetting system?
Perhaps you could set up a committee.
Ffs a huge game and you're picking a subject that has been done every year since the 60's.
Big game, big crowds. Small game, smaller crowds
Its not rocket science.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Plastic
A person who wants to go to a football game but does not know how to get a ticket so asks his mates if they can get him two tickets for the biggest game of the year.
My attempt at a definition.

Bang on mate. When games like this come along it’s a great opportunity to increase our fan base.
My lads are City ST holders but regularly get mocked by kids at school for supporting Cardiff “coz they are crap innit”. This week of course there are kids telling them they are going for the first time.
We just have to hope that win, lose or draw it’s a good entertaining game that will get some of them coming back.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
I couldn't give a feck who goes as long as those who go regularly or are members get first dibs then that's fine. Thats hapoened so no problem. The more the merrier. I could say I'm a super fan and where were others when we were getting attendance's of 2000 in division 4 but that's just cause the age I am The City were in league 4 at the time. No big deal. I don't blame people for not going then and I don't blame people for wanting to go watch us play a big team. Hopefully they will come again against Bristol another good atmosphere and go from there.

in the early 90's when i was going home and away ( didnt miss a single game for 3 seasons ) i bumped into a old workmate at the Shrewsbury game ( last home game ) he was a occasional fan ( mainly for games likely to kick off in, but hey ho, different strokes etc etc ) he was walking down sloper road ( very drunk ) shouting at random city fans " where were you when we were sh1t ", i foolishly tried to calm him down and said " if they did not experience the lows, they will not enjoy the highs as much " it seemed quite deep at the time, he just staggered of shouting again at people :hehe:
as you said, all welcome, occasionally a " non regular " will stick around :thumbup:

Anyone who goes along on Sunday and supports the team and shouts for Cardiff to win is a Cardiff fan to me and very welcome. It doesnt matter how they got their ticket or whether they have been before. If just a handful of the new people come back to watch another game afterwards then that makes it even more worthwhile. Thats how most of us started going along in the first place isnt it ?.

i knew someone who joined the army from cardiff, he has never been to a game, yet just before he went on his first training spell, he had a city tatt :hehe:

Fekn solid mate. Teardrop tatoo as well and they are good to go. No need to supply Doc Graham with a death certificate

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Has a plastic fan stopped you getting a ticket? If not, what’s the harm done.
I try and go down the devils probably once every year when I do I try to pick the most entertaining game. By your terms I shouldn’t be able to go?

Yep. They've got to start somewhere. :thumbup:

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Can you imagine the club instigating a rule where the only people entitled to buy a match ticket were people who'd been going for 20 years and hadn't missed a game. The stadium would soon be empty.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Two of my mates, big football fans, one used to go in the 50s/60s/70s but stopped, the other loved football in his armchair. Both got into it through the Pompey Cup Final and are now in their 10th year of being season ticket holders, love the aways as well. We need to convince more people like this not deter them.
-
Re: Plastics City v Man City
If it wasn't for 'fair weather fans' then the big clubs like Man U and Liverpool wouldn't have the huge fan bases like they do. Success draws in the crowds and hopefully some of those will stick around for longer.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Does it matter, surely what matter more, is how many plastics, we can get on board as full-time fans.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Taking both my nephews Sunday, the one has been to a pre season game against that Scottish team who's name I forget (he's 8)...... the other has been to probably 10 games in his entire life (hes 18)
Should I give their tickets to more deserving fans? Are they plastics for asking to come to this game?
When do you cross the line from plastic to non plastic? What do we measure it with? Who makes the all important call?? Do we have a board of people who decide? Set rulebook?
I'm intrigued.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Lad I know, born and bred Cardiffian, is a massive Chelsea fan (armchair or pub). I’m always badgering him to get his arse down the City. His response is usually something along the lines of “I’m not watching that rubbish”. I’ve told him many times that if him and his ilk support thier own club instead of someone else’s, then we’d have 30,000 every week and then we would be up there too, so it’s his fault that we are “rubbish”.
My kids are under ten and they get it, but unfortunately there are more people in Cardiff like him, than there are like them.
We need occasions like this Sunday if we ever to realise our potential as a club.

He's the type that would never go to a game, whether its city or Chelsea. They're the soap opera addicts of the sporting world.

Re: Plastics City v Man City
Sometimes a club needs the hook of a big cup game to reel new fans in.
For me it was Real Zaragoza , first game , under lights , the roar of the
crowd , the smell of the tobacco and beer. A magic world appeared and
ever since I've been hooked.
Probably back then someone was calling me a " cardboard " but we all
have to start somewhere so welcome aboard new fans. Enjoy the day ,
join in the songs, get behind Cardiff City and come back again and again :thumbup::ayatollah:

This of course is 100% true.
Everyone starts somewhere.
The current team wanted to win at Mansfield and the day against Man City is actually as much for them as us fans.
Big stage and ALL eyes watching.
