THE MALAYSIAN LINK

The more I think about it, the more positives I can see. It really is a flourishing country and a bond between our club and their country could become massive.

Fair play to the club they seemed far more switched on with marketing at the moment but perhaps us fans can play a bigger part to build bridges and it could have massive benefits.

Let's get some ideas out there about building friendships, I am seriously thinking of going on the Malaysian pre season tour, perhaps we could get some links built up prior to this and get some more media coverage in Malaysia.

how about raising the prospect with the local authority of "twinning" a malaysian city with ours , ( like nantes, Stuttgart, Maryland etc)

Good shout! Bolleh!!

What about twinning schools - that often gets media coverage too?

the coverage over there about the lad who was mascot against Norwich was amazing considering CCFC are a Championship club at the mo , imagine how we would be perceived as a Prem team out there ? Frightening possibilities

hopefully we will get promoted this season if thats the case the whole of malaysia will know about it..
i think it would see the city cardiff and wales put on the map and we would see quite alot of malaysians visiting cardiff and coming to support cardiff city only thing how do we explain to them in malaysian that our game next week at stoke is a bubble trip??

if City get promted then we will have more bubbles than a bar of Aero !

Twin cities with Malaysia?

Do people seriously want Berman and the council involved in any way, shape or form?

It's clear marketing to Malaysia is a main part of Tan's plan. No problem with that, but let's be honest, Malaysian support is transient. Some students at Cardiff Uni? Whoopee-doo.

As soon as Tan et al depart, you'll not see them for dust.

Malaysian support is definitely a nicety, but it has to be on top of marketing to local support, not in place of it.

The council could get involved, who knows what businesses could be brought to Cardiff?
Don't forget, it's not just the club, it's the City too.

Is there going to be a plain chartered for this trip?

I'm due to go bak out there in Jan 2011 , not sure if I can delay 6 months for the pre season tour thou

"Not sure about being a flourishing country either" but its as cheap as chips and beer is cold what more do you need.

Hi Gwyn ,

I've been to Malaysia about 6 times now ,the weather is hot and humid all year. The Premiership is also pretty big with games been shown on a regular basis . Most of their footy fans go around wearing Man u , Arsenal shirts ... bit like Cardiff really
Don't hold back on accomodation if you go , unless you want to be on cockroach watch all night.
The beer tastes pretty good when its sweltering but keep an eye open for their Giant lizards which scared the shyte out of me on my last visit.Once you get there , its as cheap as chips
If you get an opportunity take a stop off in Singapore ( hour away from Kuala Lumpur / Malaysia or a short drive for Johoor Baru which I would imagine any game would be held.) The night life is pretty special if you know what i mean .
Just beware the costs in Singapore are pretty high thou ( £5 a pint)
Anyway if you do havea trip going , I might be able to swing a business trip at the same time.

Ive been to Malaysia, great weather there and people.
Beware though, few of my friends hired bikes to go racing around the island, 2 or 3 people had to go back to the UK with broken bones....My boss wasnt happy.

when we go up it will give VT massive publicity in Asia, no doubt one of his Berjaya companies will be our sponsor as all premier games are shown live throughout most Asian countries.

great place for a pre season tour (Beach Club for "entertainment" )
bring it on, home game almost for me
