With Wembley set to open this season, the people of Cardiff have voted for the best visitors to the Welsh Capital. The people of the City, who themselves had a successful final in the stadium, have voted for Newcastle United as the most popular visitors to the City whereas City got 3%

The poll, recently taken by the locals in Cardiff, voted on who their favourite fans were and despite only visiting once, Newcastle United were voted as the best visitors to the Welsh Capital. Manchester United were voted the worst due to last season's sit-down protest in the middle of Cardiff that almost brought the City to the halt. Arsenal, despite of having the most visits to the Millennium Stadium, had less votes in the poll than Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Blackpool and Hartlepool United.

City's opponents on Friday, Cheltenham Town were the most voted League 2 vote with 4% of the votes and City were their nearest challengers with 3% of the vote after 2 visits. Carlisle United, also with 2 visits, recieved just 1% of the vote whereas Rushden and Mansfield both recieved 0.6% of the vote. Orient were voted as the least favourite League 2 visitors, recieving just 0.3% of the vote.
