Lets hope it makes an impact on those who are making the rules for the fans but as i suspect have never been to a football match in their lives ,i for one stand up in the Canton as we all do ,sit if you want ,stand if you want ,we pay the entry so should be our choice....
thank fk for that...bring back cheap areas where the men are men .........i was in the family stand for the first time last sat>>>>never ever again not even if the tickets were free>>>its a fking sunday school get together sort of thingy and my worst nightmare. bring back the bob bank boys ...bring back the atmosphere
That's just the problem see Aber. There are people like you, and then there are people like those in the family stand. If you don't want them to knock you and your requirements at a football game, don't knock them. To be honest, I've never sat at the CCS anywhere other than in the grandstand, so I don't feel qualified to comment. However, before I bought my grandstand ST's for the last 8 years or so at NP, I did my share standing home and away and see no problem with an organised return to that option for those fans who still yearn for the more "traditional" football experience. We need to get back to offering options to those who no longer feel part of the apparent current trend toward "family and corporate" experiences on a Saturday afternoon. Bringing back the standing option is a no brainer - it should be pushed hard. Those like me who now prefer a decent seat as an option shouldn't feel in the least bit intimidated by the issue.
im not knocking em sparkey,im just saying its not the place for passionate and verbal cardiff fans>>>>>>im one of them u hear giving a bit of atmosphere 2 the game and if it wasnt for me and others the game would be fking boring for sure.......just like the grandstand lot first 2 boo last 2 cheer

Not from my experience Aber, I've never booed any Cardiff Player or manager in my life - but then again you might know better. Those who sit in the grandstand are no less Cardiff City fans than anywhere else in the ground. The fact that it's less vocal than the Ninian and Canton can't be denied - that's just the way it is. Those in the family end have different priorities than you and there's a place for everyone. My post says just that and was not a criticism at all of those who want to shout and scream all through a game. All types of fans should be accomodated but not necessarily at the expense of others.
i cant speak for you sparkey but i can hear wear the moans come from firstly and where the last place in the stadium is 2 get on its front foot and back the boys like any good atmosphere needs.im not sure shouting and screaming is the same thing as singing for your team dude..........maybe ur hearing aint as good as it used 2 be dude. like i said before thank fk for the return of the terraces cos the seats aint MY cup of tea.....
Family stand eh? So how many on the gaystations at half time This post does not mean to be offensive to gays BTW
It should be easily resolved if and when legislation allows. Make the Canton End a wholly standing option and give the same consideration to the first block nearest the away fans in the Ninian. Then everyone knows what they can or cannot do. I believe all seating will change to red in the summer so what not bring in the flexible option at the same time?
last week at the boro game, old vincent tan was watching the whole game in his nice red cardiff top, and he stood the whole way through the game. so next time a steward tells you to sit down point out that fact
Couldn't get on to reply last night Aber - kept getting "Database error", so I gave up. Don't want to argue the toss about standing only areas Aber - I've made it clear in my earlier posts that I'm all in favour of it. There's an urgent need to bring it back without delay to provide the traditional football experience for those that feel alienated by the rapid movement down "family and corporate" road. However, supporters vary in their needs when coming to support their team at a decent stadium like the CCS. The difference seems to be that I can appreciate the need for the "football experience" aspects af stadium management without having to criticise them and the people that use them. Aber mate - you once said on here that you and I go to a football match for different reasons. Apart from both going to support the boys and the team we've followed all our lives, I think you're right. BTW, my hearing is just fine thank you.
they ignore the rules and stand anyway, all this would change would be to make it safer i'm guessing?
sparkey nice un dude.....pity ur not deaf dude cos i just found out where im sitting for the posh minxs teams visit>>>>>im in the grandstand with you dude ......any little spaces i can have a spliff in there sparkey dude ,itz best for everyone if i get my medication in at a football match only joking i`ll share a pint of liquid drug with ya if u dont mind dude,making it an early christmas toast if u like......sparks am i allowed out for a ***./joint half time in the better people`s area dude,or will i have 2 stay in a box reading the telegraph and financial times
You'll be OK with me in the GS Aber - no FTs nor Telegraphs mate, just plenty of Big Issues........ BTW, don't sing to loud or swear too much - we don't like that sort of thing dontcherknow....
So dudes ... I'm in favour of changing Canton to semi terraced as long as its done nicely. I've been both seated and standing at games but prefer seats as I have knackered knees . I'm 21 for christs sake!! Have enjoyed some fun moments on the terraces in Niniam and more recently Edgar Street and think it would bring back some good atmosphere to the stadium. Rubber, understand that like Sparky- not all of us want to go apesh*t for 90 minutes, yet I have never and will never do anything but make wholly positive noises about the team we all love. Come on you Purpley-Dragbirds!!!!
The only part of Ninian Park I didn't watch a game from was the Grandstand. Being working class it always seemed a posh place to be. STOOD in the grange (when it had a roof) and mostly on the Bob Bank, but sat on a railway sleeper in the Canton Stand as a treat when there was a cup game. Even though I've been upwardly mobile, I now consider myself upper working class, I still would see the grandstand as betraying my roots. What O old bean.
im not sure what u mean by going ape.s.h.i.t uni tbh.....the fans that get the atmosphere going do so for the sake of the game>>>>>the sort of thing that separates a friendly game into a competitive game,.... it sort of should pick up the tempo and adrenaline of players and the players u want 2 get going are the team your singing for////simples or atleast thats my take on what fans are there for>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>no just the cash they want us there for these days,im old school and i like my game working class and full of passion..........just like remote>>>hey remote if u ever need a cleaner im top man for the job
