We have sold 700 according to Cardiff's website. Not too bad considring we took around half that to another 'hostile' place; Millwall several years ago.

I think you have a selective memory. The bottom tier was almost totally full, bar the seats that were behind pillars. We even had a few fans in the corner section. We had around 6 thousand at the game. We are the only set of fans that estimate down our away followings.

I've talked to Neild in the pub a few times and he and Souness have quite a good relationship. They have many 'off the record' discussions. If you remember the story about a month back when Souness came out on the back of the Telegraph to moan about lack of funds, the club tried to ban Neild from club events until they found out that Souness had purposefully gone to Neild to undermine the board.

I'm going over with a couple of mates. Getting a flight Saturday morning only 40 quid.

Burnley fans just can't grasp the face that they are not one of the countrys big boys. From ClaretsMad: 'Better to go now, or hang around like Cloughie did at Forest, living on his past achievements whilst all around him the empire crumbled??' Sorry????

Did they mime like when I saw them earlier in the year ?? p.s Metallica Indoor tour this december - first confirmed date Earls Court 20th Dec... Don't think they mimed, just a flat performance. Great news about the winter tour, Lars told the crowd in Dublin that they were coming back to play The Point.

Saw Metallica in Dublin-AMAZING! When the first two songs are Battery and Master of Puppets you know its going to be good! The Irish crowd were tough though, they got booed for not playing Whisky in the Jar! ps Linkin Park-utter S***e!

Had a few listens of St Anger and I have to agree with the sentiments of this thread. Some of the riffs are taking me back to 'And Justice...', however without the solos it is a complete waste of Kirk Hammett and some of the songs seem to go on longer than they should, but if the mid-sections of the songs contained a solo we would have had a metal classic on our hands. But I do think it is a good album and a welcome return to heaviness, bring on August when I go to see them in Dublin!

How old are you Phil? 65? Metallica and Iron Maiden arent exactly nu-metal! Live after Death is nearly twenty years old! Anyway, must agree, they are my two favourite live albums. Maiden's power and the hairs stand on the back of your neck moments on S & M

Agreed! Scooter have a real way with words! I had MTV on the other day and one of their tunes came on, one line I remember- 'respect to the man in the ice cream van!'- Genius!

Currently listenting to Metallica, cannot wait for the new album in June or the fact I am seeing them in Dublin in August. Also enjoying Iron Maiden On the softer side I still love the new Coldplay album and have bought the new Paul McCartney live album-still a class act

This situation is a result of the club's at times average and at others appalling away support. Over the last few seasons I have witnessed the club's away followings and their totally unpredictable nature. Promotion season: Watford away (night)- around a thousand. Last season: Middlesbrough away (Sat)- Nedding a win too secure survival, not many more than a thousand. This season: City away (Sun), First local game of the season, 1,500. This will have clouded the club's judgement somewhat, yes they should have worked out that for big games the fans ALWAYS return, Arsenal in the FA Cup, over 4,000 sold in three days. So the club should have realised that Celtic was one such game. Yes, the club is probably at fault, but the big drop in away support over the last three years is also a factor.
