Both managers and Swans director David Morgan were talking about what the game should be about – action on the pitch rather than anything that may occur off it when the sides come face to face on September 23.<\/p>\n
The game – the 3rd round of the Carling Cup – will be the first time the two sides have met for 6 years – the last being at Ninian Park in the final of the FAW Premier Cup.<\/p>\n
Roberto Martinez: <\/strong>''It's important to realise it's a football game,'' he said. ''It's a huge occasion but it shouldn't go any further than football and the respect should be there.<\/p>\n ''For many youngsters it will be the first time they've seen the clubs play an official game and we should make it an example for the future.''<\/p>\n Dave Jones: <\/strong>''It will be a great game as long as everybody behaves themselves.''<\/p>\n David Morgan: <\/strong>"Everything is being done behind the scenes to make sure nothing goes wrong," he said.<\/p>\n "Families should not be worried about this fixture. People need to realise that things will be very well planned."<\/p>\n Unnamed Cardiff Fan (speaking to the Evening Post): <\/strong>"I am nervous about the game, it has been nearly a decade since we faced each other in a meaningful fixture.<\/p>\n "I'm hoping the minority won't spoil it for the majority. Both Cardiff and Swansea have made big strides to become family clubs.<\/p>\n "I'm dreading what might happen off the pitch."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Both managers and Swans director David Morgan were talking about what the game should be about – action on the pitch rather than anything that may occur off it when the sides come face to face on September 23.
