You're going too Jimbo? Good for you, where are you sitting? Go here to see what block is where in the stadium www.sportsvenue-technology.com/projects/cardiff/cardiff3.htmlI'm in Gate 5, Block U19, it looks like I'm right behind the goal, right at the back, my ticket cost £32, thats probably why I'm in the back row of blocks, if you paid £44 I think that means you should be in the front row of blocks. But I'm behind the goal which is better than being in a corner and wherever I sit it'll be an awsome atmosphere for sure.

Don't know, U28 so you get a nice side on view of the match, yeah it seems because we payed less than some people we're further back. But as coach said there isn't a bad seat in the house, so it doesn't matter much.
Is this your first final you've been to Jimbo, it is mine?

Yup i've only been to 25 games in my life, 14 this season and 15 on sunday....... i'm not nervous about it as i think we need to stay down 1 more season..... besides i plan to get a season ticket next season and i'd prefer us not to get beaten every week....

I disagree Jimbo - I think we need to go up this season. Afterall , we will no longer get parachute payments next year and the league will be even harder next year in my view as Palace, Southampton, Ipswich, Norwich, Wolves, the three relagated sides and perhaps even Watford, (although I think Watford may have peaked this season), will all be potentially much stronger than this years opposition on the whole. Blackwell has stated promotion is worth £30m, if we could allocate a decent proportion of this to new blood I think we'd be able to stay up comfortably. (We'll probably also get loads more revenue from ticket sales as the fans come out of the woodwork again.)
I realise there are some frozen debts that would be applicable for repayments to start once we are promoted and also some player fees, (such as a further £2m for Ricketts) but I feel promotion has to be our goal this season.
The £24m Bate's is seeking from Chelsea in compensation would certainly come in handy..

Were you locked out of the ground at first then>? Yeah when I first turned up at around 7am, there were about 1500 people already there forming a queue that snaked into four long lines down the back of the kop. After a while, (about 9:30) these moved to form two queues, (one inside the ground fencing and one outside.) I was stuck outside the ground in a queue that didn't start moving until yours was totally dealt with. Didn't move an inch in 7 hours as a consequence. Once we did start moving, they started letting us in about 20 at a time and the queue moved fast. The feeling I got when I was let through the gates was pure bliss knowing there was a ticket waiting for me! Made a load of friends too in the queue while waiting, one of the guys in front of me set off at 4am from near Brum, and another from North London who set off at 3am. Both tops blokes and lifelong Leeds fans. Another guy behind me kept taking calls on his moby telling his clients he was stuck in traffic and would be late to his arranged meetings I can't help feeling all the match day burger vans, etc. could've made a fortune today had they bothered to turn up for business.

Wow lads look like you all had a bit of a mare getting the tickets. Due to living in bliddy Watford, the members postal app worked for me, am sitting in L2, so down by the corner flag but pretty pitchside so i'll giv the cameras a wave.
I will never hear the end of it from all these Watford fans if we lose, and the worse thing is, they have an allocation of 27000, and a lot of these were on general sale, the fan base isn't huge, and some people (Man U glory boys/Newcastle/all sorts of numpties) are going up to support their "local team".
The disparity of emotion between winning and losing is going to be absolutely huge. I need us to win more than I need to do well in my A-Level on monday (morning!)

Fuck! I almost feel guilty that i am going corporate now... I got lucky by dealing with clients that have a box but I think you boys have the whole 'experience' to take with you, and for that i am a little jealous! And before anybody even fucking thinks about calling me a 'prawn sandwich supporter' compare my home and away experiences to yours before opening your mouth!! Cannot wait, just pissed that I have to do it in a suit and tie instead of my blue away lucky shirt....
