Pre-season training is in full swing and Cardiff City play their first pre-season friendly away at Carmarthen Town with the game being played at Bridge Meadow Haverforwest. Cardiff travel to Bath City on Saturday after the Hereford fixture was called off and play Yeovil on their return from Austria. (Full list here with times and dates)
Next week Cardiff will be off on a weeklong tour of Austria playing three games against teams from Russia, Germany, and Albania. What fans can expect at the Cardiff City Stadium is an open training session, a Cardiff Xl game against non-league outfit Chasetown rounding off pre-season with a match against VFL Wolfsburg.
Against the Welsh Premier League team, Cardiff will probably give a number of the squad a run-out playing two sets of players in each half. While the Cardiff boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was active in the transfer market early bringing in some new faces the expected departures have yet to leave although there has been plenty of newspaper talk surrounding them.
Off the field, the chairman is still on course to alienate the majority of Cardiff fans with the red first kit and the new stand decked out with red seating. Another season of discontent on the terraces while he will be in the director’s box in red with his cronies looking out at a sea of blue the shirt sponsors can’t be happy.
