More to do with the fact they were winning things a lot when the game went global / available to watch live, plus you can throw in the Beckham effect too.I've said that for a long time, the only reason they have such a huge following throughout SE Asia is because they were the most successful team who happened to play in Red, if they played in any other colour they wouldn't have attracted a fraction of the Asian supporters that they have regardless of their success and trophies.

Only they could go to Malaysia to earn some dough. Play in a game where some people have paid £260 to watch them and then lose without scoring!
Brilliant!
On another note, I see Stone is there reporting for the bbc! I’m going to make a freedom of information act request to see how much that is costing them. Good use of the public’s money again, Not!

P45’s more likely
But still the fact they play in red has played a huge part in it, they really are obsessed with the whole concept of good fortune over there and red is considered a lucky colour and they'll do anything to associate themselves with it.More to do with the fact they were winning things a lot when the game went global / available to watch live, plus you can throw in the Beckham effect too.

so thats it? Fly there - bus parade that no-one attended - defeat to a scratch team of players nobody knew and quick back to the UK. What a fucking joke of a club.

You have a day job, don't you? I wouldn't go doing anything too drastic if I were you. Gallivanting all around Vermont takes money, I'm guessing.What’s his name? Paddy Field?
Just saying, like.

Remember that time that the Malaysian ( possibly Thai ) chairman of Cardiff City aka the BLUEBIRDS - changed the club shirt from traditional blue to "lucky" red. That went well as I recall.

Please do mate.
Can you also ask for a freedom of information act request about how much it cost the tv licence fee payer to send Sly Stone on United's tour of America last Summer, please. Stone did the whole tour, flights hotels, expenses, etc.

There is an interview on the City Website with David James talking about that game. We have come and long way since.Dunniemonster absent mindedly handled the ball for the penalty.

What's going on here?
Thought they'd gone over there to lose twice, have they just thrown the second game?

Just seen the highlights of their game v Villa for the first time
I could also see plenty of empty seats dotted all over their grubby rat infested temple of doom
Then I saw the laughable stated attendance

No I don’t. It’s the late shift I’m on. Start in 49 mins ;)You have a day job, don't you? I wouldn't go doing anything too drastic if I were you. Gallivanting all around Vermont takes money, I'm guessing.

They are shit
I've attempted to complain to the BBC on a couple of occasions (not football related) both times I was raising very reasonable and valid issues.I'm pretty sure someone has already tried the FOI route and were knocked back as it doesn't qualify
Each time I (eventually) received the most arrogant, condescending and unapologetic fob off of a reply where they managed to completely avoid responding to the actual issue I was raising, whether that was done deliberately or just due to their incompetence I don't know.
And if you're not happy with their arrogant, condescending fob off response you have to raise a whole new complaint from scratch rather than just pursuing the original complaint.
I imagine the number of times they actually hold their hands up and admit they're in the wrong and acknowledge that someone has a valid complaint against them must be miniscule.
