    Wasn't this fixture similar (but at their old ground) a few years back, but that day we survived in the championship? Now we're at home could it be the game that seals promotion?

    Cardiff wasn't the last game of the season when we stayed up but it did seal Leeds' fate to League One

    Foggy memories. I knew it was among the lines, from a very LONG, slow season

    Second to last game of the season it was - Windass scored the winner 1-0

    Think that was the same day Leeds drew at home to Ipswich. Game was delayed after a pitch invasion and Alan Lee equalised late on. Cue more trouble.

    After these results, we had 3 pts more then Leeds going into the last game and also a much better goal difference of 8.

    It wasn't a mathematical certainty but realistically we stayed up that day.

    Was a great away day that. Even the Cardiff fans were happy with the result, I can't imagine too many people can walk around Cardiff with team colours on!

    This game could mean everything or mean nothing. The way Cardiff are going now they will drop into the play-offs. Just waiting for Malky Mackay to come out with another ""we are not worried"" statement. The Red Dragons next game is tuesday @ home to Pearsons bottlers. NOW a draw in that one would be most welcome.

    The Red Dragons...I like the sound of that name.

    Personally we have enough on our plate worrying about each game as it comes to worry who is second or third behind us. It is all about us winning enough games now not how many games the others can lose.

    It will be really bad for the teams who dont make auto now from the top four.

    The way the premier teams who were relegated played gave us all a great chance this season, next season we would not be so lucky.
