Was tonight. Had a really good time with him, friends and family. Unfortunately Neil Warnock and a few players promised to turn up but never attended. Only last night Neil told him that he would pop along for a short while and bring a birthday cake for him. Nobody from CCFC turned up.
I'm absolutely disgusted with Neil and the players for tagging him along, only to let him down on the night. A total bunch of tossers !!
They should put Dai up front against Fulham to make up for it.
Do you not think that they like everybody else were saying anything just to get away from him. As if the manager and players are going to turn up for a party for a fan whose claim to fame is being a pain in the arse.Quote:

Frank Burrows didn't come to visit me in hospital when I was poorly - I never held it against him - Im guessing he had better things to do.
Also I sat by Dai for many years in the Ninian - it wasn't an enjoyable experience and I can understand why they didn't go to see him - they can't get away quickly enough from him on a match day.
1) wtf.
2) He's only 60?!
He couldn't do any worse 🤗
My point is why say you will attend but not turn up? Just say you cant make it. Easy enough rather than bare faced lies. Gone down in my estimation. Typical overpaid prima donasQuote:

Did Tom Heaton make it?Quote:

What a week it's been. First the players upsetting fan by not waving to him in Blackburn :facepalm:Quote:

Why is he inviting the players to his party anyway? They wouldn't have anything in common with each other.Quote:

I've no sympathy, but I'm already on his naughty list from a few years back :hehe:
Crazy post
Nick you're totally missing the point. Dave as many know is a 'character' and City mad. Why for weeks before, and indeed the night before his birthday did Neil (or Colin more aptly) promise him that he would pop in and bring him a cake.Quote:

Maybe he should be made a life president and allowed to travel on the team bus to games
This is probably the most bizarre post to ever appear on CCMB, and that’s saying something :hehe:
They did let him give the team talk at the Testimonial match 😉Quote:

To be fair, we're only getting one side of the story.Quote:

60, FFS, this means he’s got a bus pass now !!!!!!
We’ll all have to sit in the single seats at the front, imagine travelling from north Cardiff to town, with “ OUR DAVE” sat next to you
Passengers have enough to worry about when you get on the bus, old fruit :-)Quote:

A truly strange individual.
yep, that's him. I would be interested to know how this invite and acceptance happened -presumably shouted at a distance like the other "conversations" Dai has had with players and managers in the past. Actually I take that back - I wouldn't be interested. What has happened here is that someone has invited a stranger to their birthday party, and the stranger didn't show up.Quote:

Neil probably told him he’d go to his birthday just to get rid of him, I can’t imagine Dai just asked him once
We should give Warnock until the Hull game to attend one of Dai's parties imo
Was the party at £5 a pint CCS ????:shrug:
These type of threads used to happen regularly years ago :hehe:
I reckon Talksport is Dai himself.
Snubbing Dai is scant reward for asking him to give the team talk during Warnock's tenure:

I can think of a few other long serving fans, older than dear Dai, that deserve more than he has been allowed .
"Internal bowels" :hehe:Quote:

To be honest I couldn’t care less about the guy and have no respect for him. He was very rude to my sister and me at a home match this season and we weren’t even talking to him. We were talking amongst ourselves and my sister was over the moon about a player she had just met for whom she’s waited for that moment for a couple of years. He butted in on the conversation and had a go at her. She was quite confused thinking hang on we are on the same team here but he continued to be quite offensive. I don’t care how long or what he has done for the club - I wouldn’t want fans like that at the club I and my family support. Up u til then I didn’t really know much about him apart from one previous time when he was shouting a few rows behind us and we were just thinking who on earth is that. He is a disgrace tbh and my sister was quite upset after that for abit. Ruined her moment there in any case.
