On The Road - Cardiff

Last updated : 09 August 2004 By Covsupport
And so the Sky Blues European tour continues with a trip to South Wales to play Cardiff City.

Coventry travel down as league leaders (unless QPR beat Watford tonight) after the late victory over Sunderland at Highfield Road.

Peter Reid is expected to name the same team as is Bluebirds boss Lennie Lawrence whose team drew 2-2 at Crewe on Saturday. Team news will appear on this site later.

The referee listed for tomorrow's is Iain Williamson from Berkshire. His assistants being Bob Desmond from Wiltshire and Richard Smith from the West Midlands. He was in charge of Plymouth v Millwall game on Saturday and booked four players.

There are still plenty of tickets left for City supporters who will have the joy of standing legally in the away section of the Grange Terrace. Tickets for Adults are priced at £16.

Ninian Park can be accessed from M4 M4 to junction 33. Follow Penarth (A4232) signs. After six miles,take the B4267 to Ninian Park.

The train station (Cardiff Central) is one mile away.

Although Cardiff tries to be a welcoming city, the home fans are not known for their tolerance of English people despite the fact they play in an English league and would be bankrupt if they moved into the League Of Wales, so drinking in the City centre wearing colours is not recommended.

The police and stewards are well organised at Ninian Park and you should be able to enjoy the game and get back to your transport in a trouble free atmosphere.
