A Cardiff fan is selling his fanhood on ebay

As a result of Cardiff City 'rebranding' and changing the home strip from blue to red and replacing the historic bluebirds badge with that of a dragon, I have decided to boycott the club until this decision is reversed. As someone who followed the club home and away regularly, a sizable gap has been left that needs to be filled. With selling history and tradition the latest trend within football, I have decided to get on the bandwagon. The highest bidder on this auction can decide which team I support for the 2012/13 football season. In return for this they will receive a signed certificate authenticating my support, and I will buy them a pint or soft drink of their choice at the first game I attend.

I attended 51 matches in all competitions last season, and have traveled to home and away fixtures since I was 14. This has given me good experience of football support and can offer you such useful tips as Blackburn having the best pies, Burnley having the most attractive staff selling hot dogs and to never, ever, go to Scunthorpe. Last season I produced match reports for every game I attended which can be found on my website www.myonlycardiff.com. I will keep up this service for any fixtures I attend for the team of the winning bidder and blog about my experiences following my new side for the season. I will also pretend all your players are really good on Twitter, even if they're actually quite rubbish.

This auction is open to supporters of all teams, apart from Swansea City and Bristol City due to the likelihood of me being discovered and chased away from the stadium by angry mobs with flaming torches. I would also prefer if you didn't play in red or have a dragon on your badge if at all possible.

Postage on this item is free, unless you wish for me to be sent to the stadium in a big wooden crate. Please specify your preference upon winning the auction and I will find out a price from the Post Office for human transportation.
