cardiff city (from ccfc fan)

well, not too far away now from the new season. ah, the replenished hopes, the re-charged dreams, some new reasoning why it all sadly went so wrong...

looking forward to it, good luck to us both this season

 

Hi big joe

do your fans still hold us in high regards for beating the Swans ?</p>

Oh and good luck after Saturday, looking at your accounts I think you may need it </p>

 

High Regard !!!!

.............do your fans still hold us in high regards for beating the Swans...............!!!!!! ff ff ff

Look on the you Tube website.......ie. Barnsley at Cardiff
If they bring a lot of fans, which they will, being the first match of the season, then get ready for some Cardiff fans trying it on
Expect a big police presence on satdi
Remember the TARN fans last time trying to get at the Cardiff fans
Hell on earth round the bus station
e.g. The Room boozer set on fire
I wouldn't call it 'high regard'

 

that's not all fans is it?

 

likewise fella

i for one will boo Peter Ridsdale, applaud and cheer Chopra and give a polite ripple of applause to McPhail (was never his biggest fan)

 

RE: High Regard !!!!

sorry nudge, quite right !!!!

 

There's always a big police presence at Barnsley matches

They always go too far by turning out in mass numbers. Saturday won't be any different, except for the fact, they might actually have to do some work this time.

 

RE: Think what it'll be like on Saturday then

...because they double the amount of coppers wherever we go.

Can't remember the last game we had without a bloody helicopter either, lol. I'm sure it follows me to the local as well, or am I just paranoid?

Yorkshire police are normally quite friendly with us and treat us like celebrities. We get helicopters, outriders and cars blocking every entrance/exit until we get to Tamworth. Very good of them I think. They don't do that for just anyone you know

 

yes its daft sometimes

when i went to the boro game last week there were about 15 coppers waling around town and stadium way. and a riot van parked under bridge on way up to ground. Talk about overkill, said to my mate be more police than fans. Probably be huge Presence on Saturday

 

They treat the away fans better than the home fans

In my experience they're all arrogant prats at SYP. Let's hope you lot can behave yourselves for once ff

 

I counted 52 Boro fans at the match

Probably 3,000 of us lot at most.

I saw riot vans, 3 horses, loads of foot coppers. It's unbelievable. The whole South, West, and North Yorkshire Police forces will probably be there on Saturday!

 

Son wants to go on Setdi...............No Chance

Last time out.............
Road blocks
Fire engines
Police outside The Room with sheilds up to window
TARN fans inside trying to set fire to the pub
All pile on with police officers - int doorway of Gatehouse
Horses scattering TARN fans and shoppers int bus station
Every boozer int TARN were filled with........wall to wall GBH
TARN fans up for it big time
There were 300 Cardiff fans surrounded by 300 coppers
If they bring 1500++ to the TARN they cant keep all of um surrounded
If any get into the town centre theres going to be hell

 

Leave at 2:30(if you're local)

Go straight into the ground, leave at the full time whistle and go directly home then. It's not rocket science. If you want to avoid it all, you can!

 

was daft at boro

all those police could have been off preventing crime, saturday will as you see just be the whole police force. god help them if its a controvsial match and all gets a bit heated

 

RE: Leave at 2:30(if you're local)

Brilliant post. too many people get caught up in the fact that trouble happens and to be honest i dont really care whether it does or doesnt but you can always avoid it. Maybe just by going to the game? Get to the game and enjoy the first win of the season. up the reds

 

spot on

i will have a pint at my local then go into the match and back simple as you like

 

Or better still

Leave home at 2pm, get to Oakwell and buy a pint there before going to your seat and letting your son soak up the atmosphere of the first game of the season.</p>

Watching the team warm up can be just as memorable for a young lad as watching the rest of the game.</p>

 

Are you telling me..............

that you can go to watch the TARN and not have a gallon of ale before hand
And at least a couple after the match
Whats the point in that !!!
Going to the boozer before and after the game is all part of the day
I honestly wouldn't go to the match if I couldn't have a drink

(pint) (pint) (pint) (pint) (pint) (pint) (pint) (pint)

PS. not usually in the ground for kick off
Thats why I go int West Stand - after walking from TARN, first door I come to I can fall through it into the ground

 

RE: Not us they dont

and, compared to what we we were like a few years ago we are absolute (angel)

Don't get me wrong, if you want trouble you'll find it, but we have really cleaned up our act.

Will say though, the lads are partial to a drink and most of our arrests tend to be for drunkeness.

 

The one thing that annoys me more than anything with the police

Is that chuffing helicopter that flies over the ground watching the game for free while all the fans are inside the stadium.</p>

Surely the whole point of an helicopter is that it has a fast response time. ie if there is a problem it can be on the scene very quickly.</p>
