Match Thread #9: Cardiff City vs Bradford City Saturday 20th September 2025 3:00pm

Me and my lad are.

 

Time to switch focus to this yet?

 

Why not, we can still take the piss out of Hudders in the background.

 

Let's hope not hey, would be travesty if our travelling army enabled them to take our place at the top of the league one attendance table

 

That's a fantastic commitment by our fanbase to take 2.5Kish to South Wales on Saturday and nearly 5k to Geordieland 4 days later.

 

I really want to go to Cardiff but im looking at £200 for train with my boy and its a long drive - I drove to Orient the other year and said never again over 2 hours for football!!! That said If Newcastle wasnt a few days later then Id probably do it.

Top stuff from the 2k+ going.

 

Just drive, it's not too bad.
We did Newport by car and it's 4 hours from Bradford.
Will be worth it.
Top 2.
Big game, big atmosphere.
It's what we fought for last year.

 

Top of the table clash, what a brilliant prospect. Sadly, our performances away still are nowhere near our home ones and it is looking like this will be the hardest away of the season with how they are going. If we play our best we can win, play like we did against Donny and it could get ugly.

 

Yeh I know, but Im on the road a lot for my job, an 8 hour round trip on a weekend is taxing!!! I was at Posh the other week, off to Newcastle and then Rotherham week after. Im still getting my fix!!!

 

Newcastle a few days after, players will be fighting for a shirt there....could work to our advantage.

 

Of course they will be.. they're playing the Mighty Bantams after all.. they'll want to tell their grandkids that they played in that game.

 

I love Cardiff as a city lived there for 12 years. Tempted to get on one of the buses and head south. Sat with my leg up after steroid injection so need to take easy. I have a funny feeling we might just pull ourselves together for this away match who knows.

 

I fancy this one far more than any of our previous ones. Cardiff have had success in playing in a similar way to Huddersfield and Wycombe. Our 3-4-3 style couldn't be suited better.

I could see us losing this - but wait for it, losing the next away game at Rotherham!!

I seriously think we have no problem with teams who want to play - that's been proven ever since GA took over, hence our excellent mickey mouse cup matches.

Our problems will be the likes of Rotherham, Stevenage, Mansfield, Leyton Orient who either play a style we don't like - or like the latter two have very good matches, who simply will alter their style to negate us, i.e. like McCann did.

 

No doubt I was there , on nights at the time so no excuses. Some familiar names on the sheet , remember them all. Mark Lester and Johnny Black who reminds me somewhat of Jamie Walker?

 

Decent ref for that fixture.

I saw Linden Jones make his debut for Cardiff age 17 in 1979.

 

I will definitely have been there, however, dont recall the actual match.

I was trying to think today, when was the last time we played Cardiff, and I simply cannot remember?
