I hadn't seen that, it's nice to see. We didn't do any of those things he hoped we'd do though, like, at all :hehe:

Re: A Cringeworthy City Moment
The football itself is 90 minutes in the middle of a good day out. I really have missed the whole package, the meeting with mates beforehand, the ‘one more pint and we’ll get a taxi’ or the ‘come on, hurry up, we’ll miss the football bus’. Seeing the people who sit by us, all seater stadia has given it a bit of a communal, matey feel, you get to know the folk around you in a non football way, if you get my drift. The few pints after the game, having a moan, even if we’ve won. Staying out a bit later than anticipated, I love it.
Away games, even earlier start, the banter on the bus, the ‘stop’ at the arranged dinner time, or usually earlier, pub. Being in that pub in a unique situation inasmuch as, due to it being so early, you know everyone in there, they’ve just travelled a few hours with you and have done every other week. The slightly merry last leg of the journey to the ground and on getting in seeing all the usual suspects under the stands boringly singing anti Swansea songs when we’re about to take on Nottingham Forest:facepalm: Good excuse for another moan and a few shouts of ‘Shut up ya knobs, forget Swansea, support The City’. Game over, back on the bus, slagging out the front seat DJ but still singing along to his choices. Saying the ‘Tara’s’ from Newport onto Cardiff, ‘Pint in town?’, ‘Aye, go on’. Staying out a bit later than anticipated, I love it!!!!

I’m not chucking the towel, I love it, you’re a long time looking at that lid, I’m desperate for life to return to normal. Football, weekends away, holidays the lot, life is for living.

I understand your perspective. After the re-brand I am happy to support a blue Cardiff City regardless of how many divisions they descend to. Identity matters more than success

When I was reading your earlier post, about why you enjoy following the City, I just assumed you'd be in your 40's or thereabouts. Well done to you for keeping the 'fire burning'!
Not for you sitting in front of a fire wrapped up inside of a 'Big slipper', eh! (older members will probably remember this always advertised in the News Of The World)! :hehe:
