Hello,
I am a Cardiff City supporter - although I am not sure that will be the case for much longer!
I have to say that, having watched Cardiff rise from Division 4 to the brink of Premiership football, being a Cardiff fan is never boring.
However, as you know, Cardiff are the latest casualty of "modern football". A Malaysian billionaire who has attended 5 games think that it is important that Cardiff City are rebranded. Our new fans have accepted this because the generous nature of Mr Tan means that he is loaning a debt ridden club £100m at 7% interest. Our fans are desperate to play Wigan, Reading, QPR, Swansea, Stoke, Fulham - all clubs that we used to play in the lower leagues. Far from making Cardiff City unique, the rebrand makes us look like a cheap version of Manchester United.
I am disillusioned with the way that football is being run at the top levels. The lack of respect to referees, the lack of respect to each other, the cheating, the diving, the moaning, the tunnel fights, the Sky Juggernaut. Yes, football at the top level is nicer than it used to be, but is it better?
I used to take in a few Merthyr Tydfil games (now Merthyr Town), but having a young family means I am not able to watch them - but maybe next season I will, once I have painfully cut the ties with my old team.
Anyway, enough of my problems. I was looking at the lower, so called non-League, tables a while back and noticed Harrogate had 6 or 7 games in hand of other clubs. Well, it is as good a reason to become "interested" in a club as many. I have read about your drainage issues, the fact you played a recent cup game at Harrogate Railway was a bit strange. Is it something that happens regularly?
I also noticed that, with the terrible weather coming, you have called off the Bishop Stortford game for tomorrow.
Is there any rivalry with Harrogate Railway (I know them only from their cup run a few years back)? Is their ground much smaller than yours?
I wish you good luck against Hastings - I really hope you get to round three. Cardiff probably wouldn't be a dream draw for you, but I would love to see you get someone at home. And I hope that you play that game in your own stadium.
I also hope your game goes ahead on Saturday.
Good luck!!!
