You haven't scored very well on your pre-season predictions so far.

Went to the effort of scouring back for that only for you to beat me to it

Banned.

Not well at all, I would be absolutely stunned if only 21 teams finished the season.

 

[Mr. Ball]

They Hiding in home now..

 

[SoutheySWFC]

You've move clubs than Tiger Woods there Bobby.

 

[villa loyal]

Come back in may.

 

[KevinMcallister]

these always end up going well

can't wait for May

 

[Benladdie3000]

I stand by my prediction

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

I stand by my prediction

We won't be here in May. That bloody comet is going to wipe us all out. I can't wait, when it does, I will be on here reminding you all that I predicted it.

 

[Jamo]

Dull, fairly poor side who have had more than their fair share of fluked wins this season. Will be out of the top 6 come May.

 

[SF_]

Don't see why they can't keep it up. Organised, defensively sound, bit of pace and a couple of match winners. Basically what Burnley did.

Nothing to fear in this league, Wolves will probably walk it but the play-offs are anyone's with a few good, sustained runs.

 

[villa loyal]

I've got a feeling we will sneak automatic promotion.

You wanna get that seen to

Can you please tell me how many games you have attended involving cardiff this season please. I'd just like to reference your analysis and see if it has any worth or if in fact you are a band wagon hoping maloudourous fool.

See at least someone on here talks some sense

Nah, I'm liking it.

 

[Benladdie3000]

Ignorance is bliss. You will struggle to even make play offs. We slapped u all over the park 3-0 earlier in season. Dank team and a stadium older than time

 

[JonBCFC]

Cardiff were crap when they visited Ashton gate. Aston Villa were better.

The last two years at your place you have bullied us, you're right about that. We will make play offs. We have a proper football ground, not some soulless bowl that looks like 20 other grounds.

 

[Benladdie3000]

Our ground does look individual

 

[Luke_1884]

Whilst not disagreeing with the lookalike bit, show me a ground at this level that isn't soul-less and full of the modern day football fan. I don't really get that argument today.

You have an old football ground, which has loads of history. It's also a shithole, full of empty seats and the atmosphere is mostly on it's arse. This could pretty much be said about every non-modern stadium left. Bar the small ones maybe that do get packed out.

Ninian Park was a class ground but the occasions I went there it was a pretty souless shithole. Sure it was buzzing for the big games, the local derbies and in their promotion chasing years I have no doubt. I'm sure other people have plenty of past stories to disagree but in the here and now of football I bet there aren't many.

I think the glory days were long gone before I came onto the scene, so let's not pretend that football stadiums and fanbases aren't on their arse.

Happy to take a barrage of abuse, stick me neck out time.

Pains me to say it but Carrow Road.... although I guess there's no history there!

You've got Forest as well!

There are shit loads.

From bottom of the table to top:

St Andrews, Oakwell, Loftus Road, The Den, Carrow Road, Craven Cottage, City Ground, Griffin Park, Hillsborough, Elland Road, Portman Road, Villa Park, Ashton Gate, Bramall Lane & Molineux.... arguably the Riverside well, I quite liked it.

None of them are soulless bowls, they're all proper football stadiums and the only ones I'd describe as "shitholes" are Brentford, QPR and arguably Barnsley.

The atmosphere may not be great in lots of those stadiums, but give me any of Bramall Lane, Ashton Gate or Molineux every day of the week over Pride Park, the KC or The Macron. Funnily enough, from personal experience the atmosphere(s) are vastly better in the former three than the latter three.

Deepdale is fine, modern but fairly unique.

Preferred it when it was terracing but it was a good redevelopment.

To me you just listed a shit load of old grounds. There ain't much soul left in them come Saturday 3pm. History and 'character' in abundance but they're full of half and half scarfers who inbetween checking Instagram and Facebook might belt out a hi ho silver or some other shite half arsed attempt at creating an atmosphere.

No doubt any ground is decent on it's day, but all of those you've listed I've seen where their kop or something similar is sparsely populated and it's an absolute shadow of it's former self.

Give me a decent city to get a beer in with either the option of a good night out or a quick return home opposed to wanting to go to a game because it's ground has got soul.

Each to their own, maybe I just don't enjoy it as I used to.
