CHASETOWN FC have paid tribute to the fans of Cardiff City who made the journey to the Scholars Ground on Saturday only to be frustrated by the weather.
Around 60 Bluebirds supporters made the coach trip from South Wales to see the Scholars take on Northwich Victoria in the Evo-Stik Premier League, but the game was called off as the party arrived due to a frozen pitch. The group were still determined to enjoy their day out in the Midlands, and the club staff laid on lunch for the fans while club sponsor Steve Seed donated free drinks.
After a trip to the Chasetown club shop the Cardiff supporters left bedecked in Scholars shirts and were still able to get a football fix as they made the short trip to watch Chasetown's local rivals Rushall Olympic beat Spalding United 6-0.
Scholars boss Charlie Blakemore praised the Bluebirds fans for their dedication and said: "We hope to continue to build on the strong links forged since our historic FA Cup match in 2007."
One travelling supporter said the journey "had been about showing support for a club that is part of the bigger Cardiff City family." All at Chasetown FC would like to thank the Bluebirds fans for their excellent support, and they will always be welcome at the Scholars Ground whatever the fixture.
