Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets a minutes applause.

Wouldn't be surprised if a few players attend his funeral and I hope he gets a bloody good send off, he was Cardiff City through and through
HOME FUN BETS LOTTERY
Used to know the fanzine guy, Thin Blue Line. Was chatting to him, Dai came over and was asked about it.
His response was "never happened, but sounds good".
I'm tempted to go to the funeral and shout dogs abuse at the bearers, just to keep a tradition going. Big shoes to fill
He's somebody that was clearly failed by the system, from a mental health perspective and his behaviour faced few if any consequences - club could and should have issued a life ban.
Sad he's dead, but he harassed a lot of people over a long timeframe.
The fact that his last "media" was that tosser Cullan exploiting him should get people angry.
I didn't know him personally, only through supporting the City - and through that there were none more dedicated which should be celebrated.
Yet, the bloke was at times supposedly a creep. However, he was clearly mentally ill and like you say, clearly failed by the system and probably should've been banned.
There's also an element of "is it too soon" to it all as well.
I'd say given how recent it is by all means celebrate the positives but don't forget the negatives - I think a few ladies in the ticket office will be somewhat relieved.

Mad as a balloon but a real character and a bluebird to his core.
RIP Dai

How many of those were against their wishes though?
My first experience of him direct was standing next to him at an away game years ago. Watford or Reading I think. No idea who he was and as pissed as I was I had to move as he was doing my head in. I later learned I had stood next to the myth and the legend.
RIP

I remember running onto the pitch when we got promoted v Reading in 2018, first person I come across was Dai, he grabbed me and give me a big snog. Proper character, City in his blood.
RIP
Annoyed me that video, it seemed like that Central Club bloke was using Dai just to take the piss.
WEED CLUB RIP Dai only 67 things will never be the same again
Thirty minutes after it being posted on facebook I've seen more nice positive things said about him than in 50+years of following the club.
Nice to see so many replies to the post though

Bloke was a whopper but as Cardiff fans go there's none more dedicated - best to remember that than the other stuff.Thirty minutes after it being posted on facebook I've seen more nice positive things said about him than in 50+years of following the club.

With all due respect, why? He was a shitty human being - sure there have been a lot worse in the world, but his behaviour was enabled by people downplaying it. "Ah, passionate City fan, just a bit eccentric".

That's why I used the word legend. Doubtful it was true but apophrycal
He loved it - saying people were always asking about it.
It's a difficult one.
