It could be a big day for Cardiff City. Most of us have no idea what's going to happen and we don't exactly know just what's going on.

Here follows a quite in depth article from BBC Wales, that might help explain a little.

Cardiff City won through to the FA Cup semi-finals with a win at Middlesbrough Enlarge Image

Days after winning a place in the FA Cup semi-final, Cardiff City are set for a High Court battle which leaves the future of the club in the balance.

Wednesday's hearing is over £24m in loan notes the club borrowed from Langston Corporation in 2004.

Cardiff say a variation to the agreement means it is not repayable until 2016 but Langston want full repayment immediately.

The High Court will consider Langston's application for summary judgment.

That means a judge will decide whether to rule in Langston's favour without the need for a full trial.

Professor Robert Lee from Cardiff University Law School says it would be a "disaster for the football club" if Langston were to win the case outright.
