The pre match buzz etc isnt the same for kids i dont think. they get their buzz from the x box or playstation. I just dont know. When i was young i used to love going out and i dont just mean football. I cant even get the kids excited about a day trip to the zoo or bowling for ex. Lazy bastards getting.

Cant understand it, i know Cardiff City dont have the on-field class of the top 4, but thats not the point.
When i started going, i never went for the classy football when the likes of Bury and Barnet came down to play us, but enjoyed the singing, drinking, banter, football (yes we could play a bit), naughty stuff and just a good time. Maybe football came second in the sense thst i never stood and watched a match all the way through from start to finish as i was having a laugh/banter as well as watching bits of the match.
I know the buzz aint there today like it was in the 80s (mid to late 80s for me), so the younger kids coming through have not got the freedom some of us had back then. Even if we were losing we could still have a good time.
To Man Utd. I was never and still aint interested in any team other than City, cant understand people who support these teams and never go, where is the passion that you only get by going to matches reglary, meeting new people and the buzz before the match in the pubs.
One a Bluebird always a Bluebird.
