So you think you know everything about football? Did you know the likes of Deco, Ronaldo, Stuart…read moreDowning and Falcao all have played Futsal in their younger days before becoming professional? From playing Futsal I guarantee you it's why they are so good on the ball. So what is Futsal? It's an indoor non contact football game that uses heavy size 3 balls and hockey goals. Teams consist of 5-a-side and can have unlimited subs. The pitch actually has out of bounds and can be over heard height. @Futsal is, as far as I know, the first dedicated futsal centre in Wales to pop up and does have an international sized pitch. Normally there are 4-5 pitches running at any one time and feature 3 league divisions a night, everyday, 7 days a week for anyone to create a team and join in. You can also hire the hall out if you so wish for a kickabout. There is a bar inside, male and female changing rooms and several TV's showing football on constantly. It is a cracking place to play and as a lover of Futsal I really would spend allday everyday here. Check it out if your into your football it'll adhere to your love of the game like it was the first time.

If there is a difference between your car and a Welsh person's car, that's known locally as a…read more"Cardiff." The "Cardiff" is a big deal in Wales, where vehicles are status symbols, and the closest thing to religion are the Manic Street Preachers at the Millennium. First-Hand Experience: I've never been crazy about Cardiff City, I did really like them from time to time but things come out in the wash about the owners and managers and you know... plus they've always had a bit of a violent element in the fan groups. Still I do like a lot of their fans, so it's a mixed bag. Here is the deal though. I've now seen them play at home on two occasions and it's a really energetic intense experience in their new lovely stadium. I'm giving them a 4 despite the qualifications, and will be going back for another experience at some point soon. Okay so this team is a truly amazing team, a Welsh institution, full of hooligans and passion, full of intensity and strong emotion, but they're currently going through a bad time. It should have been the best time, but it didn't work out that way, sadly. They finally achieved promotion to the Premier League, but the owner that got them there (Vincent Tan) turned out to be a bit of an a***, tried to change their colour, their name, their badge, their traditions, and then fired their manager when he was doing an amazing job keeping them in the Prem. They dropped like a rock and were relegated and are still suffering from the whole experience. Add to the mix the fact that Swansea, their eternal rival, achieved the Prem earlier, and stayed there, and are still there, and CCFC fans are understandably bitter. The owner has finally put their kits back to blue. He's a fool, really. Formed in 1899, they were league runners up in 1924 which was the closest they ever came to real glory. Very close. They also won the FA Cup in 1927 which was their biggest ever achievement. They were FA Cup Runners Up as recently as 08 and League Cup Runners Up to Liverpool in 2012. I'm going to give them four stars, because even though they're a fantastic team, with huge support, they have underachieved, and they do have hooligan elements, and the owner is still a bit of a fool. He's getting there, but he needs to fix the badge and get the team back into the Prem to appease the fans.

If you smell bad, this is the team you should support. Because the whole city needs a Bath…read more One of the few teams I'm reviewing outside the top 5 tiers of English football, for the reason that Bath is one of the most beautiful cities in the world so it deserves to be on this list. First-Hand Experience: I haven't seen them play live at home yet, but I've seen them away from home a few times and they're an amazing team with a great little fan base representing one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. I last saw them in 2007 but will see a home game for them soon. This little Roman town is millenniums old, so it makes sense that the team here is from all the way back in the 1880s. Not 1980s, that's not a typo. They play in Black and White and are in the Conference South, but hopefully they'll rise up and get in the big time soon. They've never been in the league proper but there's a first time for everything. Their stadium Twerton Park holds 8,800.

This is the place where a lot of toothbrushes are made, hence the name "Bristle City", and people…read moreare also a little unfriendly. Actually Bristol is actually becoming the party capital of the UK (ish) and definitely of the South West. It's a really young and up and coming city which might be why they didn't support me at all at my concert here, lol, but then again I was very late. First-Hand Experience: I was lucky enough to see Bristol Rovers play at Ashton Gate against Bristol City, so I got to experience the famous and rabid local derby. It was actually a pretty friendly derby, but I loved both teams and I have an affinity with City. Their fans are loud and passionate and I am very glad that I was able to see such a famous game live and in person. Bristol City is the more successful and "bigger" of the two Bristol teams in my opinion, and is my preference. Their stadium is better, they are doing better at the moment in the third tier, and a long time ago they were league runners up (1907) and FA Cup runners up to Man U (boo Man U). But they've never won either of the big things, and for such a big city, you have to hope that with their enormous new stadium that's being remodeled on the site of the old one (Ashton Gate) that they can get back to the big time. Until they do, they'll stay at 4 stars for underachieving, but they're a very good side indeed. All of the reviews on here are pretty much for the stadium (and trashing it, no less), so they should be moved to the stadium listing which is separate.

Come on, lets build a bit of support for the *Ahem* mighty City!…read more The 21,000 seater stadium might not be as impressive as many others, and Ncky Maynard might not be banging in the goals that we would expect him to after his record transfer. But it is the City's big club... unless your aleagence is with rovers, even then though their a whole devision bellow city! You can't beat a saturday afternoon cheering the pride of Bristol as they beat middlesborough 2-0 against the odds (or loose 6-0 to Cardiff infront of the home fans! you've gotta take the rough with the smooth!) Come on, lets bring the pride back and get behind the City massive!

If Heath Ledger was still alive and liked to be dominated, and you were a girl wearing thigh high…read moreboots, would you Steponheath? If so, this stadium would be named after you. First-Hand Experience: I visited this stadium during 2011 for the first time, when they actually had football here. I was a little underwhelmed to be honest. It's a shame that it doesn't host games anymore though. So this stadium no longer has a team. After holding European and Cup and League matches for a long time, since the early 1900s, and it is unknown which soccer team will move in now. It is owned by the council and can hold nearly 4k people. It's really just a little park to be honest.

I like entrances, but I'm more of an exiter. I'm not sure why. I guess the kids call it "ghosting"…read morethese days. And my fave Depeche album is "Exciter." And my fave Bob Marley song is "Exodus." And I have lots of "exs..." ... er. First-Hand Experience: I've seen them play away 2 or 3 times, although Uri Geller and Michael Jackson were not present sadly. And I've seen the last 30 mins of one of their home games in 2011. Every time I was thoroughly impressed by their loud fans and really passionate, adorable team. I can't help but give them a 5 stars because it's one of my fave teams to watch in the lower leagues. So they play in red and white and are over 100 years old. This cute little south western team in a lovely region of the country have a lot more going on than meets the proverbial eye. For example, Chris Martin of Coldplay, and Noel Edmonds, and Joss Stone, are all fans, and Joss was introduced to the crowd as a fan at a Liverpool cup game... weird. And more weird is that Uri Geller and, yes, Michael Jackson, were directors of the club. Idk why. Also add in the fact that ECFC are owned by their fans... and that they fell out of the football league, made it back in via the play offs and then got promoted to League One the next season, and you can see there's a bit of spoon-bending magic going on here. Anyone that's connected with Michael Jackson has to get 5 stars from me.
