Hi Folks! Perhaps, I'm one of the newest fan of Cardiff City here.
Brought in with Neil Etheridge. :)

1) Correct. But out of 100M, I can assure you that at least 5M of us supports football and around 1M of us are very passionate about it.
Generally, Filipinos lost their interest to Football due to the emergence of the Americans who brought Basketball to our country. In the early days, the Philippines had produced world-football legends such as Paulino Alcantara, etc. (sorry for a bit of history lessons).
The bottom-line is still, some Filipinos, perhaps other Asians would probably be interested to watch Cardiff City. :lol:

2) Agree. But Etheridge is an Asian rockstar, most people who buy his jerseys are his female fans. Check how many twitter and instagram followers this lad has. :king:

3) The Philippines is in South East Asia. :) A beautiful archipelago with more than 7,000 islands. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-7RK9cmXis 8-)

Sorry for my bad english.. Hope to get good reception from you guys. :)

Cheers! :occasion5:



and by brought in with Etheridge what do you mean?

I'm finding the transfer activity quite refreshing - Etheridge and Loic were pretty much not seen by the lads in "know".

Ward, Paterson and Mendez-Laing were only picked up by the in the know crew after some media attention.

Camp due to past links and from comments made by Warnock was the only one they were solidly correct on.

I can't wait for the next random signing
It's abit like an xmas calendar you don't know what's behind the door but you know it's chocolate you just hope it's decent.
