Not for the first time this season Cardiff City prepare for a tough away game with off the field activites dominating the headlines. Once again the club have upset and annoyed fans, is it any wonder attendances are dwindling?

Wether or not you agree with Cardiff City's initial allocation policy to "ambassadors" or not, the fact is that a complete change of policy was made after announcing their first idea of two tickets each for the away game at Arsenal. Surely it is not beyond common sense to hope that the club have action plans for all such eventualities and don't just think things up on the spur of the moment. It's been more bad news in the supporter - club relationship. Let's hope they get the distribution right, because you can foresee problems if they don't.

The handling of arrangements like this set big clubs apart from the minnows, and we are nowhere near the first group. I won't list the comical ticket stories we've all experienced over the years, but having bought an early "ambassador" ticket again this year I hoped problems would be over. The club seemed keen to make sure that wasn't the case!

Anyway its Leeds United on Saturday with 250 fans making the trip. It'll be a case of "is that all you take away" from the Yorkshire fans, because we are getting the same treatment that Leeds and WEst Ham fans have had in recent years. Is it any wonder people are losing interest. there is no way I'm ever ging on a bubble trip again. My last one was to Ashton Gate when I could have walked their quicker, I don't blame fans for not going to Elland Road one bit.

Our Leeds fans on the network will give an unbiased report from Elland Road later today.
