Cardiff City owner Vincent Tan recently financed the cost of travel for the fans of the English Championship club for their midweek game with Ipswich Town.

A spokesman for the club said, “It has been a tough season and we wanted to help supporters for what was a long journey in midweek.”

Tan has often come under fire for his dealings with the club so such a magnanimous gesture should also be lauded.

The trip is approximately five hundred miles and was a kind act from the Malaysian billionaire. Unfortunately though his charges went down 3-1.
