Cardiff City’s season gets underway tonight with their first pre-season game against Welsh Division One team Taff's Well at their Rhiw’r Ddar stadium. It is good to see Cardiff put some money into a local club like Taff's Well who are expecting a possible full house with 2,200 tickets sold a few days ago the ground capacity is 2,900.
The majority of the crowd will be Bluebird fans, who Taff'sWell Chairman Liam Edwards is hoping some will enjoy the club and the facilities and be casual visitors to Rhiw’r Ddar next season. The money raised from this fixture will leave the club with a healthy injection of cash, an unexpected windfall, but the gate receipts are to be split between Taff's Well, Velindre Cancer Centre, and Cancer Research Wales.
I have been happy with the comings and goings at the Cardiff City Stadium during the summer break and am going into this new season more optimistic than last. That is down to manager Neil Warnock in the main I actually believe he can get us into the top six. He has brought in seven signings Bristol City star Lee Tomlin the latest new Bluebird. The deal, which has been for an undisclosed fee but is rumoured to be in the region of £2.9 million will give him a point to proved to the City fans.
The Cardiff boss as suggested he is happy with his signings, his squad and except for any emergency signings no need to bring any new faces to add to his squad. I like the fact Warlock as his full squad for pre-season it gives a chance for the squad to bond before the madness of the new season kicking off.
Next week Bluebirds boss Neil Warnock takes his team to Devon and Cornwall on a pre-season tour preparing for their new season campaign. The season starts on August 5 with a trip to Burton with the first home game a cup game Tuesday 8th against Portsmouth and first League home game the following Saturday with Aston Villa visiting the Cardiff City Stadium.
