Would I? I don't actually want to be in the Premier League. It's a bit of a dilemma actually. I want Cardiff to do well, but I don't want them to be a Premier League team. The last thing I want is to become a similar club to the likes of Chelsea and Man Utd.

Seriously? I'd love Sunderland to be bankrolled to the top like Chelsea.

The Premiership is the best league in England, one of the best in the world. I cant understand why you wouldn't be happy for your team to say they're one of the 20 best teams in the country at the moment.

Cardiff and Swansea would be the only two clubs to actually want to get there but they wouldn't want to, also. The Premier League don't want us there and I like the club how it is. I can't deny that I wouldn't like Cardiff to get into the premier league but there is split opinion on it. I just hate how it's not going to be played in Ninian Park. Oh, how I'd love to see Ronaldo warming up by the lower grandstand grange or taking a throw-in on the bob bank side. I don't think many teams would say they had a pleasant experience.

[Loser]

Yes. I would prefer to watch a **** side week in week out, than an amazing side a few times a season. Reason being, the price and popularity of the team would rise, so it would be more difficult to go to games for financial reasons aswell as others.

I would disagree. It's the league with the best teams in the world, but with the same order at the top year after year, and with it being fairly simple to guess who's going down most years (granted not this year), it's just boring and repetetive to me.

Why are people argueing over football LOL?

Its an awsome sport and we all know Manchester united are the greatest.

FACTS:

5-Yard Markers

Hash Marks

50-Yard Halves

-There are 19 yard lines that divide the field into five-yard segments.


-Hash marks are the small sets of lines that run the length of the field in one-yard intervals.


-The field is 100 yards long. The yards are counted up to 50. The 50-yard line is the center of the field. Each team has its own half of the field.
goal posts

End Line

Sideline

-The Y-shaped structures on each end of the field are goal posts. The goal posts are 18 feet, six inches apart. They are 30 feet tall and the crossbar is 10 feet off the ground.


-The end lines are the boundary lines at the ends of the field. If a player runs past them, he's considered out of bounds.


-The sideline is the boundary line along each side of the field. If a player runs past the sideline he is out of bounds.
End Zone

Goal Line

Field

-The end zone is 10 yards deep and is located at each end of the field.


-The goal line separates the end zone from the rest of the field. The offense tries to cross his line to score a touchdown.


-The playing field is 100 yards long and 53 and 1/3 yards wide.

Holy ****... your the first person I have ever known who doesn't want there club to be successful.

Just ask the fans of Chelsea who can't get to games anymore because of the pricing. I don't fancy sitting at home watching Setanta and SkySports, when my team are playing just a few miles away, knowing that the years when I could go and enjoy watching Cardiff every other week have gone.

That's down to there owners, QPR have a billionaire owner, how much are there tickets?

I know what your main point is, debt in a club, or fans that are not from the town/city but still, you want your club to be the worlds best, you can't support your team to a certain extent, you want to win every single game that you play, regardless of who it is you want to win because you want trophies and you want to be the worlds best team.

You have to get over it, if your team are doing good and winning matches, there going to be competitive and one day be worlds bets perhaps, no matter what you'lkl support the, and hope they carryt on winning every single game.

Our tickets are £25 for o18's and £15 for u16's, how much are yours?


Perfect example = FC United of Manchester

There just rebels who didn't want new owners, everybody goes through a new owner one stage in your life. Middlesbrough, Cardiff etrc will have new owners, owners they might or might not like, either way it will happen. Doesn't mean there's going to be a FC Rebel Cardiff or FC rebelousboro

I'm not sure, but a few teams have been boycotting the visit, so I'm sure that's some sort of indication.

I want us to win games, obviously, but losing, or missing out on the play-offs isn't an issue for me. I'm not saying I would be upset if we got promotion, I'm saying I don't particularly want to be in the Premier League.

My season ticket cost me £69, which evens out to £3 per game. The cheapest tickets an adult (over 16) can get is £18, U16s go in at £5 and concession is a £10.

These 'rebel teams' as you call them are created to make going to games affordable and more enjoyable. Most of the fans of the 'rebel teams' still support the clubs, but obviously don't follow them.

"They still support the club, but don't follow them" So if they still support the club that means there following them? How can you support a club yet NOT follow them?!


"to make games affordable and more enjoyable" LOL. That's an amazing reason to why these rebels create there own sub club.

If there not 'rebel' teams, what are they? Do you know what a rebel is? Google Define: Rebel, you'll then understand, so therefore they are 'rebel' teams, so there's really no need in the " ' ' " before and after 'rebel'.

Actually, it is. You, as a Man Utd fan (assumption), probably won't understand it. Most fans prefer to go to the game, and with a pricing structure that allows only the Queen to go to every home game, it's difficult to follow your team.

1956 FA Cup Final:

With 15 minutes of the match remaining Bert Trautmann (Manchester City Goalkeeper) suffered a serious injury after diving at the feet of Birmingham (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_City_F.C.) City's Peter Murphy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Murphy_(footballer_born_1922)). Despite his injury he continued to play, making crucial saves to preserve his team's 3–1 lead. His neck was noticeably crooked as he collected his winners' medal; three days later an X-ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-ray) revealed it to be broken.

The clubs are formed on a non-profit base. The clubs aren't intended to become big. Obviously ticket prices would increase but they would increase to a level that would suit the fans not £1,000,000 per game.

Aston Villa versus Everton is the most played fixture in English top-flight football.
As Aston Villa & Everton are the teams that have spent the longest in the premiership.

Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur, are the teams who have never been relegated from the top flight.

Aston Villa is the fourth most successful club in English football history, having won 21 major honours.
