    1) Since 1887, when they first got inducted into the Football League</p>

    2) Got my first one in 1889</p>

    3) Had to miss a match away at Royal Engineers in 1918 as I was still recovering from the effects of WWI trench foot and had to have my right leg amputated at the knee. I heard it on the radio though.</p>

    Since 1975</p>

    Since 95/96 1st year of family stand ticket.</p>

    Mid 80's half a season say 85/86 </p>

    end of 93/94 start of 94/95 only went to a few. pissed off !!!</p>

    Rest of time virtually every home match and in late 70's &amp; early 80's lots of away.</p>

    Don't go to too many aways now as it's not just a ticket for me anymore.</p>

    Will start going again when finances permit as I used to love the atmosphere at away games !</p>

    I've been to one Barnsley match before, and I hope Cardiff is as enjoyable.

    I'll be the one cheering for Clive Shuker, just to piss people like dreamboy3000 off.

    RE:when hirsty went to scum

    the most pissed off ive been with bfc was when we gave away hirsty to the scum ..i was in spain at the time with a few mates, some of whom were washday fans and they laughed their heads off at my obvious pain ,,it spoiled my hols and the next ten years o' my life ,every goal he scored (and there was a lot)was a nail in my heart..to be honest it still hurts a bit now,in fact i'm off for a lie down, opening old wounds an all that...

    Has everyone been supporting the Reds?
    First match in 1994, properly since 1996

    How long have you been a season ticket holder?
    1997/8 and every year since.

    Have you ever stopped going to matches for any reason and for how long?
    No, however my away days are limited as I'm at Uni and have no money.

    14 years.

    Next season will be my first with a season ticket, regardless of what league we're in.

    Money has only ever been the one thing to stop me attending matches. Cardiff will be my 10th or 11th of the season.
