Hi mate. This figure is just not accurate. 200k-300k would mean £33 - £50 per seat. As mentioned its the plastic that needs replacing and not the metal framing so costing is significantly lower. As for timescale, I helped dismantle
all the seats at ninian park and for eg it took 3 of us two days to completely diamantle all seats in the canton stand, frame and all. Installing new plastics would take longer than people think but with a team of 10 would make it easy work in a week and with plenty of breaks.

Let's be getting things right on the pitch first.

No reason why we can't do both.

I completely agree. But at the moment things on the pitch probably should take precedence. Would be nice to see it all blue and white.

This is probably accurate :thumbright:

I know for a fact stewards were asked to work a few days all day this week for tasks inside the main bowl. Manual work. Interesting

I took a Cardiff City Stadium tour last month and I still saw lots of red seats! There are also a few yellow seats which the guide told me were in honour of Riverside AFC who wore yellow before forming Cardiff FC. It was the best stadium tour I've ever taken and included places other teams don't show you such as the managers office, boardroom and kitroom. See pictures from my experience here https://onlybyland.com/cardiff-city-stadium/ They are hard to organise but worth it!

I'd quite like to see them replaced. They are only seats.. But it's a reminder for me of that horrible rebrand, and the divide between fans.

Also other clubs take the piss.

Change 'em
