Cardiff are only three games from a return trip to Wembley and having and have been given the plum draw of the 5th round holders Chelsea away from home. The game scheduled for 13th/14th of February and with my crystal ball I would say the game will find it’s way to TV, it is one of the best draws of the round.
The cry for tickets has already started who will get them and how many but the club have tokd fans to wait has they have yet to talk to Chelsea about arrangements. City fans will have to re-mortgaging has the ticket prices at Stanford Bridge are renowned high, but hopefully they will be much cheaper than the Premiership and Champions League prices. Cardiff will sell out their allocation which could be has many as 6,000 but it will have to be seen what the club get owing to the police having their say. In any case the game will be a very lucrative tie for the Bluebirds and can look forward to a welcome financial boost.
Early comment from manager Dave Jones, "I'd be disappointed if my players weren't looking forward to strutting their stuff at Chelsea," said Jones.
"If we could pull off a result it will be another notch in our history."
It’s been a long time since Cardiff have played Chelsea, 1986/87 in the League Cup a game that Cardiff won 2-1 but is it coincident that the last time the two met in the FA Cup was in 1927 the year Cardiff won the Cup.
The rest of the draw is as follows;
Wolverhampton Wanderers v Crystal Palace
Manchester City v Stoke City
Derby County v Birmingham City
Bolton Wanderers v Leeds Utd v Tottenham
Fulham v Notts County or Wigan
Reading v West Bromwich Albion
Southampton v Portsmouth
