Last season Bohemians 1905 got relegated and Cardiff City reached the FA Cup final. This season, both armed with season tickets, we, Jonas (Cardiff) and William, plan to chronicle our experiences attending the games of the respective clubs.

For Cardiff, it is particularly emotional as this is their last season at Ninian Park, a ground they have lived at since 1910. For Bohemians the pressure is greater as their fans expect an immediate return to the top flight.

Our hopes for the season include lots of flowing football, some cracking goals, a promotion-a-piece, the odd fit streaker (female) and, ultimately, a pre-season friendly between the two clubs in the summer of 2009 (preferably over two legs and involving some kind of trophy named in our honour.)

I'm Still Alive

Ok, I've not been updating this web log as often as William but my hectic life has taken over. I went to see Idlewild - the greatest band ever! - live in Bristol last weekend, from there on to Wrexham to see Wales U21's play well but get beat (they're learning too much from the senior team), back in time to play 5 a side in Cardiff before this weekends events; I'm heading to London for a couple of days, to get home in time to see REM - the greatest band ever! in Cardiff. You may ask how can one person be so busy? I know, it's a hard life. Things seem to happen all at once...for example I only had two holidays booked in January for 2008, only for Cardiff to play their FA Cup Semi and Final (there's the mention) on those weekends! William knows this all too well as one of the holidays was to Prague to see him but I had to change my flights.

Since I last spoke we beat Bournemouth in the cup (sorry William I realised that we actually got to the 3rd round last year and did take it seriously!) and drew away from home to Doncaster. We've gained 3 extra points already from goals in the final 2 minutes of games so that beats last year where we must've lost a load in final minutes. Cardiff play at home tomorrow to the mighty Norwich and I will be missing it due to my London trip. I have sold on my ticket to my brothers mate so at least he will have company. I will hopefully be getting my ticket back in mint condition to keep with all the others from this final season at Ninian Park - and on that note a £3 programme from the Southampton game in being bought for around £8 on eBay right now! Time to cash in I think!
