Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 10:30:33 Anyone remember that game in 2001? Cardiff won 3-0 and their fans were just mentally loud. Back then I used to sing at the back of the South stand, near the TV gantry, but you literally couldnt hear the person 5 seats from you, so you couldnt cotton on to any Swindon chants.
I feared the worst yesterday, but we kept them pretty quiet. Swansea had shit loads of groups of lads in their following and they are top, and this was supposed to be one of their biggest away games this year. So no excuses for them. Cardiff 3 times louder/better. Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 11:29:22 I'd have to disagree.....Cardiff may be better on the mindless thuggery front, but don't recall much noise from them, plus loads of gaps on the Bank.
At least when Swanseas sang their couple of times you could hear it....which is unusual from a bank based away support.

Earnshaw scored, Ruddock tried totake him out, but couldn't get close enough. And Daisy got a red card, for one of those pathetic opponents dives when he made no contact whatsoever....it was Daisy. Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Tails on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 13:33:03 I'm sure Heywood cropped Earnshaw... I remember the Cardiff fans were not happy at all after it...
Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Johno on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 13:34:54 i was at that game, cardiff were quite loud, but to be honest, i don't remember every single detail.
Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 13:40:12 He may well have done.....but my abiding memory was Booby Howe, pathetically heading a ball going out of play, back into play right in front of the sticks straight to a Cardiff player....may have been Boland.. for the 3rd.
I tried hard not to hate Booby....but that was it for me. Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Johno on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 13:41:23 good old bobby, scored a great free kick v the orient in the worthington cup. think it was the worthington cup. was abit crap though.
Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: dogs on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 13:45:44 Bobby Howe, just another out of glut of crap we had, well maybe not another, king of the shit. Still I remember he had about an 8 match purple patch where he was alright, got injured and reverted to being just as shit again.

Still I remember he had about an 8 match purple patch where he was alright, got injured and reverted to being just as shit again. That was the thing, occasionally he resembled a half decent player, and getting on his back was never going to help.....I think we underestimate the draining effect what appear slight injuries have on some players. Chris Hay, for example, at the beginning of his time looked an absolute snip at 300K....got injured at Stockport....The Chief got sold and he was just never the same player. Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Danjackson10 on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 16:17:27 that was my sisters first game! Earnshaw and Kavanagh scored, cant remember the other one! Ruddock got sent off! think there was about 8,500 there with about 2,000 cardiff fans! they were loud!
Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Gethimout on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 17:00:24 Went to my first match in about 6 months yesterday! I thought it was a bloody awesome game! Especially when that scouse cunt Trundle was near the TownEnd.
Anybody remember the chant about his mum being a whore? Absolute classic shout, everybody jus cracked up laughing! We should of fucking nicked it at the end tho!!!

Nah Ruddock never saw red....neither were Cardiff particularly loud.....Ruddock's only red card was in his last game King's first back at Notts County. Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Amir on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 17:38:49 Don't remember Cardiff 2001, but 1995 they were very impressive. To be fair to Swansea when they sang they were load. Could hear them better than I could the other end of the TE first half.
Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Spencer_White on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 20:18:01 No way Reg, Cardiff went into an absolute frenzy in 01. The year after they werent so good.
Loudest 3000 fans in the last 10 years for me. (probably Sunderland THE loudest, but they had 5,000).

Title: Swansea - not nearly as loud as Cardiff Post by: Danjackson10 on Sunday, January 1, 2006, 21:10:11 I remember '95. That was an FA Cup match that we won 2-0 i believe! I think Steve Finney scored? I miss the Cardiff games and Reading!
