just sounds like more PR spin and empty words, which i'm getting used to from the current board.

by the way, i do not blame trollope. he is an honest football man trying to do the best with the tools given to him. however, all these empty words from the board are getting boring. as annis said, very little substance there.

finally, there is a serious issue with the fans. yes many are fickle but some would be more loyal if they hadn't been messed around. quit the PR and start running the club properly is my message. who's to say this plan won't be abandoned in a years time? we cleared the decks for solskjaers staff and then promptly sacked the lot at huge expense. absolutely no forwards planning.

Does this Cardiff Way have parking? I would go to all home matches, not just the midweek ones. Fed up with walking 2 miles to fro to the ground from the nearest side street parking.

New plans from Vincent Tan, pity help us; we've been there before haven't we? Part of the excuse for his turning us red was his belief more and more fans would buy into the "Welsh" identity of the club and identify with the red. That didn't happen did it?

As mentioned previously Cardiff City has a glorious tradition and a solid identity which he attempted to destroy. Being Welsh is only part of our story, our tradition is much more than that. A lot of it is about coal and working class people of many backgrounds who helped shape the city within a proud working class hinterland. Over the years Cardiff City has been synonymous with good football, albeit rarely at the highest level! However, I'm sure there are many people of a certain age throughout Europe who remember many of Cardiff City's forays in the continent with admiration and respect; including Tashkent. They may well have been proud standard bearers for Wales in those days but more importantly for their city.

This new idea just seems to me an attempt to jump on the Wales bandwagon after our great results in the Euros and I fear it's going to add very little. I for one have no interest where any of our players are from as long as they are good footballers and good ambassadors for the club. If Vincent Tan wants to think about reforming the club he needs to look at putting in the kind of developmental and scouting structure the likes of Southampton are applauded for. Remember they picked up Gareth Bale. Whenever have Cardiff picked up a future star from under the noses of rival clubs?

The Wales way is only good because of Bale and Ramsey. Without those two players, Wales would be a below average team in my opinion.

Coleman would be useless without them.

Cardiff will be a below average Championship team without a spine of quality players. The problem there is that we won't easily sign great players as Tan isn't respected and players seem to be sold if a good bid comes in.

I hope it works but it seems like spin to me.

Attendances dropped for sevetal reasons the red of course but also relegation poor team performances new stadium effect wearing off and probably more reasons! But to say they are plummeting is wrong they dropped but now improving
And have stabilised past 2 seasons this season are they plummeting? :o
