This season's Swansea City vs Cardiff City Championship fixture, the first league clash between the Welsh rivals for 10 years, is being moved back a day to Sunday November 30th with a 11:30am kick-off and will also be televised live on Sky TV - what a treat for the viewers to watch and hear us lot going at it!
It was always believed this would happen once South Wales Police had their say and it is certain that it will be addionally confirmed as a coach-only "bubble" trip for Bluebirds followers. Police claims that one of the problems was that a Staurday game would clash with a Wales v Australia rugby international in Cardiff was probably of no major significance in truth. I can't even rememeber the last time a Cardiff v Swansea game had a bog-stand.
The question now is how many more Cardiff games will see their kick-off times or days changed for tv scheduling or police interference. I recall 5 games were moved before the season started and a few more during it. Even when we behave and get praised, City fans just cannot shake off the reputation tag.
