Nothing close to the ground according to this. Keep to the city centre.

Flying into Bristol and getting the train from Bristol Temple Meads to Cardiff myself. The bus from Bristol airport to Temple Meads was an awful pain the last time I got it. It took ages. Hope we take a good crowd to this. It should be a good day out.

3 of us going. I think it will be a reasonable turn out for this match. It's a new ground for many and still a crucial game. between 1k and 1.5k I reckon.

Imagine if we could grab a draw against CFC and then win this one. Then we might start to believe.  049:gif

Not the Corporation Arms on Cowbridge Road -one of my scariest experiences of watching a match (the derby against the Jacks) was in there. There's another pub on the same street called the Ivor Davies, but its not 'our' Ivor. Possibly try Chapter Arts Centre round the corner  on Library St or follow the advice here:http://www.footballgroundguide.com/cardiff_city/index.htm#Cardiff-City-Stadium-Pubs.

The city centre is the place to be until you have to go down to the ground, which is either a twenty minute walk or a five minute train ride.

If you don't mind the walk, there is a lovely little pub in Sophia Gardens called Y Mochyn Du (The Fat Pig). I go there when my sister competes in a shooting competition every November). About 30 mins from the ground, but you get a lovely walk through by the River Taff (kinda like Craven Cottage in a way), past The Millenium Stadium, down Tudor Street, then onto Ninian Park Road, Leckwith Road and onto the ground.

Judging by the amount of tickets left online, you should be able to pick one up this weekend. We have a fair few left in the current block and one more block to sell as well.

Block 119 hasn't gone on sale yet, and I'm not sure if it will as sales have dried up a bit. If we get a result or at least a good performance on Saturday then they might open up 119.

Post by: Wingnut on February 27, 2014, 07:30:55 PM
Don't think this will sell out unless we get something on Saturday. The cheap ticket offer for Villa probably turned some off going. We'll take a very good crowd though.

Packed with Cardiff fans screaming at the telly - the Jacks were winning 1-0. The pub was surrounded by the police 10 minutes before the end to stop the fans heading for the ground to get tehir revenge. Luckily Cardiff equalised in the last 5 minutes.
