We did it! The Bluebirds are going back to the Premier League! After a long season of ups and downs (mainly ups, to be fair!), promotion to the Premier League was accomplished with a final 0-0 draw with Reading at the Cardiff City Stadium at around 2.30pm on Sunday 6th May 2018!
After all the worry and stress of the previous week, wondering whether the team would perform on the big day, it was actually our closest rivals Fulham who finally cracked on the last day of the season by ending a 23 match unbeaten run with a loss at relegation threatened Birmingham City. Cue wild celebrations!
The final moments of the game as we clinch promotion to the Premier League - excuse the shaky pictures but it was quite emotional while I was holding my phone!
There's no point in an extended blog post for this event - I'm still savouring the moment from 4 days ago. Here's a few pictures, courtesy of Walesonline, to express the joys of the occasion.
This may be my last blogpost here for a while, as after almost 4 years of inactivity I will be re-activating my other blog - Premierleaguebluebird.blogspot.com ! Once the dust settles a little, i'll post there my views on what needs to be done to the squad for next season and our prospects for staying up this time for more than one season.
In the meantime - lets enjoy it!
