    Cardiff v Millers Saturday 12:30 KO

    History and description

    Cardiff City Stadium officially opened on the 22nd of July 2009 with a friendly match between Cardiff City and Celtic. It replaced Cardiff’s old ground Ninian Park, which by the early 2000s had become severely outdated.

    Plans for a new stadium had already been approved in 2005, but it had taken until 2007 for construction to begin due to the club’s financial problems.

    Cardiff City Stadium has recently hosted various internationals of the Wales national team as the Millennium Stadium was deemed too large for the occasion.

    In 2013, following the club’s promotion to the Premier League, Cardiff announced plans to increase capacity to just under 33,500 seats by adding a second tier to the Ninian Stand. Despite the club’s relegation at the end of the season, works went ahead anyway and were completed before the start of the 2014-15 season.

    In 2015, Cardiff City Stadium hosted the UEFA Super Cup between Champions League winner Real Madrid and Europa League winner Sevilla (2-0).

    Again I’ve just no idea how this game will go
    Will we stay up or go down? It’s all down to Warney and co and the players, we has fans can only urge them on by social media or at home where I’m sure they’ll hear us if we’re loud enough

    COME ON YOU MILLERS!!

    MT If you've watched our last 10 games I think you know exactly how this will go. On at least 2 occasions Giles will get in a great cross but we'll miss the headers. We'll have a couple of other chances that someone will shin and if we're lucky one of those might hit the post. We'll have a free kick around the box where Wing will either score or not. Oggy will make a run or two, beat 2-3 players but not look up to see we have 9 men unmarked in the box. At the other end our defence will be breached 4 or 5 times (one being where Wood falls over) and they will either score, our GK will pull off a great save or if their forward is lower quality (e.g. Luton) they will sky/shin their shot. From an opposition corner/free kick they will realize that Harding is only 4' tall and give him a 6'4" defender to mark to no avail and we'll be at the mercy of the resulting header.

    Other than that, I also have no idea how it will go

    No George Hirst, hamstring injury, already gone back. Shame as I thought he looked sharp against Blackburn.

    He's about as sharp as a pair of kids safety scissors.

    Hardly a shame if it’s took 44 games…
