Football Away Days: Cardiff City and the Cardiff City Stadium for the South Wales Derby

I have surprised myself this season by being organised enough to fit in three football away day experiences, the last of which came on April Fools' Day and saw me making my way to Cardiff City to witness the latest edition of the South Wales Derby. As it happens, this wasn't even my first time witnessing the rivalry live, as when we knocked Swansea City off of our away day bucket list back in 2019, that day their opponents were The Bluebirds. So now I've taken in this derby as an adopted fan on both sides of the divide, and it's safe to say that the 2023 version was the most dramatic of all the away days completed thus far.

Soccer AM- (Refusal To) Change Is Not Good?

It would seem that Soccer AM could be facing relegation from the Sky Sports schedules, come the day before the end of the current Premier League season- amid confusion over whether or not it's been definitively canned.

In this unusual season there's been a whole World Cup since my previous new football away day, last October. On that occasion I visited Rodney Parade to see Newport County, and long overdue for my next jaunt I was pleased to get my first trip in for 2023, with a visit to Hertfordshire to see Championship play-off contenders Watford take on Preston North End. This would also be a special away day, as it wouldn't involve any of my usual companions, instead this one was organised as a surprise for my uncle having turned 70.

Colin Wanker Rides Again

Neil Warnock at Huddersfield Town in 2023

Having made a surprise post-retirement return to management at Huddersfield, a mere thirty years after his last stint, the man dubbed Colin by those who have a considerably softer spot for anagrams than they do him- that is to say Neil Warnock- is back. It's probably worth pondering the state the Terriers find themselves in now against how things were during that final season at Leeds Road before a move to what was then known as the McAlpine Stadium.
