Wed 17th April 2002. City respond to possible away fan ban |
| April Headlines |
City
Chief Exec David Temme told Radio Wales last night that Cardiff City had no intention of
banning away fans at Ninian park for the play offs. Newspaper reports from Stoke yesterday claimed that Stoke were seriously considering banning City fans from travelling to the Britannia Stadium if the two teams met in the play off semi finals. Mr Temme said "As far as we're concerned, there is no reason whatsoever for fans ever to be banned from Ninian Park. Everyone is welcome to come down to Ninian Park. We'll make the arrangements for teams to do so. If a club is not able to receive supporters from a visiting club, then you've got to question whether or not they should be in the league at all. The whole purpose is to play the game in front of supporters. Banning away fans is a dangerous road to go down. I can't see it being supported by the Football League." Cardiff will find out this weekend exactly who they will be playing in the play offs. As it stands it could be Reading, Brentford, Stoke or Huddersfield. One of Reading or Brentford will get automatic promotion on Saturday. |
