Thread: Ridiculousness Down The City

    Ridiculousness Down The City

    Apart from the obvious red debacle do any other daft actions by the club spring to mind?

    Two for me. During the dungeon days, the team coming out of the tunnel to ‘Simply The Best’, embarrassing! The other was a male voice choir in front of the Newcastle fans at half time serenading them with ‘Blaydon Races’, cringeworthy!

    There’s got to be others.

    The firework display at our last match at NP which was as damp and lifeless as the performance

    Didn’t the club opt for the rather exotic ‘Caerdydd’ on the socks one season, but spelt it wrong?

    A couple spring to mind -
    When Ken Thorne went bust and Leekes took over the shirt sponsorship, the club shop sold cheap replica shirts with a Leekes iron-on badge over the Ken Thorne logo.
    Also, the short-lived 777 shirt sponsor.

    Letting Sam walk around the pitch wasn't the greatest idea

    Letting Timmy Mallett do the same was almost as bad

    This.

    To add to my embarrassment I had taken along a guy who had never seen City play (he is from Liverpool and a genuine LFC supporter - yes there are some in South Wales!) with the promise of a really entertaining evening of football! Never lived that down.

    I recall the first home game after the Ken Thorne fiasco and there were grown men walking around wearing City shirts with the logo cut out!

    The weird elevated executive box in the corner of the bob bank / canton stand with loads of hyper kids in there every game.

    The bob bank village which wasn't that villagey.

    Cardiff City Clan idea by Sam Hammam

    City v Ajax pre season when everyone legged it from the Bob Bank terrace into the closed seats in a mental rain storm

    The absolute ridiculous level of Burberry circa 2001. I remember one bloke in a full on suit and bucket hat. Mental.

    The fact the ticket office is never ****ing open even on days it should be

    The programme sellers that don't take cash

    The weird huge adverts for Turkish beaches outside our own home end. Just weird.

    Weird ass club all round tbh.

    The bob bank village may not have been that villagey but my god it was a laugh and will liv with me for ever , especially on the day the one side to the wall fell down in the rain we go soaked and we started up the legendary spontaneous chant " Ninians park falling down " t ,stuff of legends . Not as good as the old Grange End but hey a moment in our history , I'd go back there tomorrow in a flash ,these new stadia just feels so controlled and a rip off .

    You left out Spencer Prior's contract that he must: “eat sheep's testicles.”
