Cardiff City - Tip Toe to the Play-Off - Bumper Crowd


Cardiff City will re-open the Ninian Stand extension for the first time this season tomorrow as they face Championship play-off rivals Derby County. 


The upper tier has been closed all season due to poor ticket sales. The club are expecting a bumper crowd with over 25,000+ tickets sold at close of the ticket office Thursday. With eight games left in the season and with Cardiff on the edge of the play-off the season is edging to an exciting finish. There are about six teams vying for two play-off spots.

From the below table you can see how important a win tomorrow is critical a point from a draw would not make much difference. We play Burnley next Tuesday away just for good measure. So who are our competitors playing?


Fourth place Hull have a home fixture against Bristol City the best we can hope for is a draw has I can’t see Bristol winning. While sixth place Sheffield Wednesday have a trip to Huddersfield and I reckon Wednesday could struggle and end up pointless.

Ipswich take on Wolves away another tough game for a rival for a play-off spot and looking into my crystal ball, I can see Wolves winning this game. Birmingham are also away at Charlton who amidst fan protests are in a battle for points every point to stave off relegation.

The club are asking fans to get to the ground early to help with queuing times, traffic and parking.
