"Do the Ayatollah Ridsdale" calls on the chairman to do Cardiff's famous head-patting celebration. The Ayatollah is a Bluebirds trademark the fans first did at Lincoln City in 1990, hands flat above the head, patting up and down. Here even the boardroom gets the call. One of the best-loved Cardiff City songs and chants. Read the lyrics and do the Ayatollah with CCFC.
