The police will be happy

Leeds
Swansea
Millwall
Newport
Villa
Chelsea
Stoke

All in london on the same day. That will probably decide the tv games.

If we get forest green I’d like to see the club offer to play it at their ground.

Let’s be honest we’d get a crowd of about 5000 where most would be forest green fans. How much better an occasion would it be for both clubs for it to be at their ground. A proper fa cup tie, not too far away.

It’s the only home game amongst the Welsh teams so I’m pretty sure BBC Wales will move it to a stupid time ;)

The TV companies will choose the tv games (cant see Liv v Eve not being on). If any of those fixtures need moving the police will decide.

I just hope we actually try to win a cup game for a change.

What a ridiculous suggestion ! Playing at home should be an advantage so why do you want to throw it away ? We're a professional football club not a charitable organisation.

A great draw for Forest Green and one I am sure they will relish at the CCS :clap:

Well, if all the claimed Cardiff City supporters who frequent this Forum turn up, there will be a near sell out on the day!

If the real genuine 'die-hard' supporters turn up, you may have a point! ;)

exactly.
every bangs on about taking it serious and fielding a full team and then only 25% turn up.
sell 25k it would put a little bit of pressure to field a strong side...sell 5k and hammer home the point fans are not interested in it. ?

What silly thing to say, how often will Forest Green fans get the chance to come to cardiff? All fans love going to a new ground so why are forest green fans any different? If it was a ground you wanted to go and the clubs turned it around how would you feel, some people on here make me :lol: :lol:
