    "Delaney Out" Meet Up in Cardiff

    Two weeks to go.....Anyone have preferences for a Meet-Up venue?

    My own would be The Gatekeeper (Wetherspoon pub ) as it's just across the road from the Stadium and is huge inside (3 floors ).I was in there before Watford's Play-Off game and the atmosphere was great.

    And I bet they still only have two people behind the bar! I could have done a lot of things with the all time i've wasted waiting to be served in 'spoons....

    Their decent enough when matches are on but still not lightnigh quick or anything.

    Due to the stadium being in the City centre if you want quickly served pints walk up Cathedral Road a bit to the Cayo or the Beverly and you get served nice and quick there. About 5-10 mins walk from the stadium
    Oh no not them again

    Gatekeeper sounds good to me.
    Cheap and cheerful!
    Handy for a bite to eat too.

    Exactly what anybody with a bit of sense will do. Better drink in there also. Also the police might not let us into the pubs close to the ground for security reasons.

    Nonsense, the pubs next to the stadium are always open when there is football or rugby.....in fact the police PREFER people to congegate in close proximity...makes their job easier!

    POW is another Wetherspoon's about 8/10 minutes from the stadium.
    One pub where I came accross a Cardiff City crew was the Owen Glendower, not far from O'Neills. Very unfriendly bar staff as well.
    Honest! I am not a secret Tim nor a closet Sham - I really am a Seagull.

    Try 8-10 seconds...

    The Owain is not the nicest of places but its a fine place to go, and safe, its near the small O'Neill's which is actually far nicer than the big one across the way from the Price of Wales

    TBH the Price of Wales is grand too, I've never had any hassle there even on the days of Cardiff matches, you might meet a few of the Cardiff Casuals in both places but they've no interest in starting hassle with normal fans, ever. Their biggest crime is their God awful clothes and their tendency to be Shamrock Rovers fans! Swansea mob however can on rare occasion be different and more confrontational but they dont follow Wales as much.

    Anywhere in Cardiff will be safe lads.

    Also if yer around for a few days take a trip down to Cardiff Bay, lovely place about a mile from the centre with a load of nice places to eat and up market pubs

    Yes the police love having sets of rival fans getting bevied up before games in the same pub as opposed to having them in seperate pubs at opposite ends of the ground. No chance of any bother with them standing side-by-side, glasses in hand.

    hasn't been a problem at any of the 10 away games I've been to before, or any of the home matches for the past 10 years so I don't see why it would now?
    Anyway there'll probably be more of us than them at this stage!
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    And how many of them were in England or Wales?

    All im saying is that the police will manage this fixture like any other low risk game and people shouldnt start through their dummy away if home fans only signs appear at various pubs.

    We've been afforded great welcomes in more inhospitable places than Cardiff so I don't see that changing tbh. I'm not picking a fight here but neither will I be shocked if the aforementioned signs go up. Given that there will be a fair few Irish knocking around since the Friday I'd say we'll charm enough Valleyers to serve us on Sat!
