Fair play, this has cracked me up ;D Cardiff City supporter Ben Dudley has put his support for the coming season on EBAY. The highest bidder, will get to choose which team he supports this season!
As a result of Cardiff City 'rebranding' and changing the home strip from blue to red and replacing the historic bluebirds badge with that of a dragon, I have decided to boycott the club until this decision is reversed. As someone who followed the club home and away regularly, a sizable gap has been left that needs to be filled. With selling history and tradition the latest trend within football, I have decided to get on the bandwagon. The highest bidder on this auction can decide which team I support for the 2012/13 football season. In return for this they will receive a signed certificate authenticating my support, and I will buy them a pint or soft drink of their choice at the first game I attend.
I attended 51 matches in all competitions last season, and have traveled to home and away fixtures since I was 14. This has given me good experience of football support and can offer you such useful tips as Blackburn having the best pies, Burnley having the most attractive staff selling hot dogs and to never, ever, go to S****horpe. Last season I produced match reports for every game I attended which can be found on my website www.myonlycardiff.com. I will keep up this service for any fixtures I attend for the team of the winning bidder and blog about my experiences following my new side for the season. I will also pretend all your players are really good on Twitter, even if they're actually quite rubbish.
This auction is open to supporters of all teams, apart from Swansea City and Bristol City due to the likelihood of me being discovered and chased away from the stadium by angry mobs with flaming torches. I would also prefer if you didn't play in red or have a dragon on your badge if at all possible.
Postage on this item is free, unless you wish for me to be sent to the stadium in a big wooden crate. Please specify your preference upon winning the auction and I will find out a price from the Post Office for human transportation.

We've done it before..... mind you what happened to that guy who switched from Arsenal to us, remember sitting behind him at Swindon in 07 but haven't seen him at a game since...
The Herefordshire Shrews, following the finest team in Salop from carrot crunching land!
Very good. One occasion when people have had too much to drink. I'd point to certain Town fans who have got mad after a drink.
Forgetting the fact that Cardiff City have the best fans in the world, and one of the best supported clubs outside the Premier League - including getting better crowds week in, week out than the Jacks.
Family Club of the year, just a year ago. Terrific away support and huge passion - as was shown in the recent rebrand, with some fans getting refunds on season tickets.

I take it you wont be offering Mr. Nob Jockey large amounts of money to support the Town then. I'd pay money for Cardiff fans to stick an oversized leek up his arse and use him as a flag to wave at Swansea fans but as Cardiff are never going to play in the Premier League chances of that happening are Nil. Just stick a leek up his arse anyway for being a complete t**t.
"Ned, Ned Wherever you may be Seldom posts about STFC! He sold his soul Tolerates the red! Cardiff City's heritage is dead"
Who's that team they call the Shrewsbury?
Who's that team we all adore?
With three Loggerheads on their chest
They are better than the rest
And we will follow Salop ever more

Oh come off it Sam, you know as well as I do that those days are over. Dark days, I agree. But you don't see anything like that anymore. Sure there is still a small bit of violence related to Cardiff City, but it's very small. I mean tiny, the things you see at any football club.
Geoff - you know I'm a 'reluctant red' like many. Am still against it, and if there's a peaceful protest against it I'll take part for sure. I have no doubt that the club will return to blue one day.

It is just as much a problem now as it was then Neddy boy. Your club has an above average share of scum, admit it!

Scum? Very strong word, and very inaccurate. You're finding the small amount of things that have happened, which is bound to at some games. Like I say, there's trouble at every football ground. The Soul Crew are no more.
It's a great shame that there weren't a few more who were 'no more' - especially on this messageboard, practically every bloody thread is hijacked by a load of inane diatribe and waffle and posting for postings sake.
Scum IS a very strong word, but in a word, how would you describe the animals in those videos EdNed?
Try and imagine how you would feel if you where a passer by caught up in all that, or maybe worked in one of those shops with all that going on outside. Think of how terrified people must be.
No need for it.
We all know that all clubs have their Neanderthals, and I'm quite sure the vast majority of Cardiff fans are good decent people, but evidence suggests, despite what you claim, that cardiffs Neanderthals are alive and kicking and although it's not right, the brush used for applying tar is a broad and not very accurate one.
It will take a while I suspect before the memory of cardiffs thugs fades. Till then, you might try not making yourself such a big target, or alternatively, live with the attitude people have towards your team.

to be fair to nedward though, he didn't bring up the subject of Cardiff's thuggish element. It's a bit like blaming you for that tit in the pink shirt who ran on the pitch a season or so back. You would say the same if someone highlighted our idiot fans and defend the peaceful minority. Leeds Millwall Chelsea and so many others have idiot fans and because they are well supported, that element is bigger and draws more focus. The most amusing thing about this thread is the way people extend his thread by complaining about it the best thing to do is ignore it if you dont like it, it's not as if he's posting neo Nazi propaganda
