Yes, it was incredible never seen anything like it.

Thankfully 2hrs later all gone.

We’ve had 4 months of the hottest weather ever and it was needed.

It’s now a lot cooler.

What has brought this about?

I think we definitely should have a fine fireproof mesh net hanging between the family and away end from the roof to the double barriers to stop coins ending up in the family, but this seems OTT

I wondered why I had two "yoofs" in FC company clobber sitting next to me in 115 on Saturday

What has 115 got to do with the away end...? :?

Regarding nets, don't forget we have the 'Jacks' here soon and those neanderthals are known to throw the odd groat around with several innocent Bluebirds (inc. women and children) receiving nasty blood injuries...

It just seems crazy to me that away fans are housed in close proximity to familes and their children. Whoever planned
this is very much mistaken, more so if they let them stand and throw coins?
Does this happen in many other away grounds?

Thank you! :thumbup:

We all make mistakes; and owning up to them is the best way to correcting wrongs...

Regarding stewards I must start by stating that I know many of our stewards personally and know the vast majority of them categorically to be good people just trying to do a good job in often trying conditions and we all know some of our supporters, particularly the 'occasionals', can be difficult when asked to conform...

I think I said previously, I've met Wayne and have had a mix of experiences; but my biggest worry is regarding a small but significant number of stewards (and maybe their supervisors?) who seem to think working at the CCS is a licence to 'bully' people. I'm never sure if it is because they are told to do it (I actually doubt) or because they have issues at home or in other work environments and having an orange jacket elevates them into some kind of dark overseer out to vent their private frustrations...?

It doesn't go unnoticed that many of our stewards also work at other public venues around the city where the overall reputation of the City of Cardiff's stewarding is positively renowned across the world of sport and entertainment. I'm sure they have 'wannabes' there, too; but they appear to be far better managed when 'customer experience' falls short of expectation...

I don't know much about this Wayne guy but he seems to be the issue based off posts on here. Has anyone who attends the fans meetings with the club brought the issue up? If not maybe needs to be said

We’re currently staying in Soller. I’ve never experienced anything like that before. We were taking a dip in the pool and the weather started to get a bit moody over the mountains so we made a quick dart for the house. 2 mins later it felt like a mini hurricane sweeping up the valley !

Lucky you,many happy memories of Soller (pronounced ‘soya’) went there quite often when my lads were younger, fond memories of El Tren you can actually catch a train (open sided) from Palma to Soller, lovely journey, and the sweeping Soller Bay. Just over the mountain from there is Deia, great little place with one of my favourite restaurants Bens D’avall can highly recommend.Enjoy :occasion5:

It is the age old conundrum where people spend too much time and expend too much energy dwelling on the problem rather her than the solution. If Gnasher cared so passionately about the issue then why is he. It at the ‘coalface’ with his ‘Army’ on the frontline instead of hiding behind a Walkie-Talkie in a nice warm office ?

Yes it was unbelievable and lasted 2hrs and was the worst I have been involved in.

Yet today it’s as though nothing has happened.
Glad your ok.

tbh I sit in 117/118 and this season some new youngsters have come over and some of them are right bellends .most around me are the old soul crew boys that you know annis and have sat there since the stadium opened but some of the newbies are sitting where they like it's starting to piss us off asking them to move out of our seats and I can see a few youngsters getting a slap soon , it's not all but a hand full .


I’ve moved over to the family stand this season. My daughter is going to her first game end of September for Rotherham (she can’t wait) but I had enough during the Swansea game… lads who had never been or just decided to sit wherever they liked because they wanted to be right next to the away fans. And you’re right, they are bellends.

Need to hold my language in the family stand though, and found it very difficult this afternoon. :lol: :lol:


Agree. I’m a bit worried about the upcoming jacks game based on last season where lads who hadn’t shown their face at all all season before or after that game decided they could stand where they wanted to the detriment of those “less mobile” behind them. More concerning is that when we got back into the game they started giving it the big one to people around them asking them to sit down, I fear similar may happen again this time as I think we can probably beat them

if you want to stand all through the derby then my suggestion would’ve been to be a proper fan and follow the team all season and you’d probably be able to get tickets in the Canton
