Cardiff's 'Bellam' bedlam! Club shop runs out of 'Y's' and '9's' as Craig Bellamy signing grips City

By PHIL CADDEN Last updated at 11:29 AM on 19th August 2010

Cardiff 's shock capture of Craig Bellamy on loan from Manchester City has given them an immediate boost of nearly £500,000.
Within three hours the club shop sold 3,000 'Bellamy 39' replica shirts before they ran out of 'Ys' and '9s' - so fans bought shirts with 'Bellam 3'.

The club has been unable to cope with the demand for Bellmay replica shirts
Fans have snapped up tickets for his first game on Saturday, at home to Doncaster, which is expected to be a 23,000 sell-out, and there has been a run on season-ticket sales.
Cardiff chief executive Gethin Jenkins said the cash will go towards paying £175,000 owed to Motherwell for defender Paul Quinn.
Club shop supervisor Amy Barnes, overwhelmed by the interest, said: 'Craig's signing was a big shock for us all. His arrival has created a great buzz.'

very, but i'd rather play for sevilla anyway :p

this would be interesting if a move to sevilla were to go through, would probably pave the way for squilacci to arsenal, but it would also leave very little in the way of experienced, proven centre backs at bayern with only van buyten there

Whether Demichelis goes to Sevilla or not Squillaci is coming to Arsenal, just hammering out the details now.
