One thing fans will notice is the lower number of tickets for away matches. Of the teams confirmed so far weve got the largest capacity stadium. I think there'll be a fair few disappointed fans when tickets go on sale for trips to Stevenage, Exeter,Northampton and Mansfield.

For me, I don't mind playing the former Premiership and Championship sides, so your Bolton's, Peterbrough's, even Rotherham's don't bother me too much.
But it's the nosebleed teams like Mansfield and Port Vale that really get to me. Not saying either them or us don't deserve to be in League One, but it just feels embarrassing. It's like if Hibs started playing Forfar Athletic in the Scottish League.
You never saw Cambridge stick 7 on us at Ninian Park or Maidstone bang in 5 did you. To a generation of football fans Cardiff City were a yo-yo Division 3/Division 4 club. Some fans of Mansfield, Port Vale etc of a certain age will be of the opinion that Cardiff are back where they belong. Those clubs you mention were regular fixtures for us.

At least Crawley went down. Bad enough having to play Stevenage, but Crawley Town? How did things get so bad?
We aren't a billy big bollocks sort of club and deserve to be where we are.
It's going to be a scrap and a grind to get back out of there. If our squad show up thinking anything less (which I suspect they are) then we are set to become one of the L1 faces.
