    Can't say I have. In fact I've never heard of anyone called wardrobe. It's an odd name yes?

    3% is 16% of 19%.

    While you're here, have you ever heard of a footballer called Wardrobe? I don't mean that big bloke at Fulham.

    I can't find it either - maybe his name wasn't Alan. Trouble is, I don't know what to search for. I think he played for a northern team. On the other hand, maybe I imagined the whole thing!

    No that was at the Millenium Stadium, although Cardiff had a "reputation" in the past which has changed - it's very much a family day out now - although as with all clubs [ like millwll ] it's difficult to change perceptions.

    Ask anybody who's come to Cardiff either to Ninian or the Mill Stad for a play-off or cup final and you'll usually hear that they enjoy their visit without any problems.

    Derek Showers was a good player, Robin Friday was my favorite - thats him in the avatar - he was once getting a load of skick from a luton goalie, so he took the ball rounded him and gave him the V sign [ again see avatar ]

    I've seen some pics of it, looks quite impressive.

    They've started work on Cardiff's new stadium in the last month or so - be ready December 2008.

    Be nice to have at least one season in the Premiership at Ninian Park !

    Surprisingly, the National Hockey stadium isn't too bad. The ground only holds 8100, similar to what Plough Lane would have been if it had gone all-seater, and they usually get 6000 so it generates a bit of noise.

    The new stadium opens for next season. It looks magnificent, UEFA grade four or something, and (I think) all paid for. It will hold 30,000, so I don't think we'll be filling it for some time to come!

    Quite true! He left you with Peter Risdale, and Wimbledon with some clueless Norwegians.

    Although I have to say, without Sam Hamman Wimbledon might never have left the conference/Southern League, and he did kick off a bit of a revival at Cardiff.

    I have to admit that I was an avid Chelsea supporter when I was younger, but I've grown up now.

    New boy Feeney might start upfront [ played alongside Healy for NI mid-week ].

    You support anybosy in particular ?
    MK Dons.

    Did Easter get a run on Wednesday? I was so tied up with the England game I forgot to look out for him on the Wales highlights.
