Every fan will say that they belong to a unique club. But they don't understand that no one give two hoots on the outside. | | | |

A few clubs could join them but Cardiff is a smaller city than Birmingham, Newcastle, Leeds, Sheffield and the argument of local population is poppycock.

You could argue Wolves have Birmingham, Coventry, Warwick, Leamington, Telford, Shrewsbury, Walsall, Stafford, Stoke, Lichfield, Tamworth,Bromsgrove, Redditch and Solihull in that area-all major towns and a club who are genuinely a sleeping giant.

Wales means little except to the welsh (I have lived in England more of my life than in Wales and we are inconsequential to most people) so the Capital City idea is again little more than hogwash. Cardiff has relatively little cultural capital-fewer museums, galleries, theatres etc. than Liverpool or Manchester despite its status. The Premier League will chew up and spit every club out in the end (bar the top 6 and Everton). I find it hard to believe anyone else is a permanent fixture and of those West Ham and Wolves are the two most likely to break through into an elite. Bolton, Wigan, WBA, Fulham, Stoke, Swansea were all considered permanent fixtures (I know Fulham are back) but one day the time will come for Bournemouth, Watford, Southampton, Brighton etc. That is the best Cardiff can really aspire to-having a decent run. They are delusional if they believe otherwise. | | | |

Ha ha, you're sounding a bit like them mate. We are no more special than a host of other clubs, although it felt that way for a little while. Truth is Cardiff and Swansea are two small/middling sized clubs that have had a few special seasons in their entire history but have both mostly scrubbed around the lower divisions doing f*ck all, and in the bad times in front of very low crowds. We have much more in common than either set of fans would want to admit, but there is something in the water up there that does seem to make many people delusional about the 'size'and importance of Cardiff, and not just the football team. It really is like little man syndrome. | |

For them, a decent run would be more than one season. You could argue they have never actually been a premier league club at all, as if you cant stay there then all you are is a club that had a good season in the championship and was never really good enough for the league above. So they should be concentrating on doing that before aiming for top 6 (rolls eyes). [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 10:18]

They have these delusions of grandeur because they are being led to believe that as a city they are something special. By who - WAG. Professor us right, Wales is inconsequential in England and Cardiff no more than a medium sized town. And certainly not regarded as potentially or otherwise, a footballing powerhouse. | |

No, I’m not saying that I believe we’re bigger than Barcelona. Just staying two facts that make us different from other clubs (as small as we are) :- 1. We were the first to sport an all White kit. 2. We climbed after near footballing oblivion (re-election and then the Hull game) to the top league in the country. Both are kind of unique aren’t they Mon? | |

No offence , how do you conclude it’s a medium sized town when it is 8th biggest city in the U.K and has significant population growth. It is expected to be around 450,000 in another 5 years [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 14:22]

Almost unique. Burnley needed to win their last game and rely on others to lose to avoid going into the conference around the early 90s. All those things happened and look at them now. | |

(Plas Dwr, areas around Lisvane and St Mellon’s ) I think Cardiff is the 11th biggest city in the Uk so I stand corrected ,but is the fastest growing city outside of London [Post edited 7 Feb 2019 17:21]

There's only 8 replies in two days, and three of those are basically disagreeing with the original post. So, let's get this into perspective, 5 people who post on that board could be said to agree with what the OP said. I think there's a few thousand registered on there, so hardly representative of what most CCFC supporters think, I'm sure you'd agree? | |
