Even posted on their Facebook page the same and had a reply saying changed owners etc and we would be welcome along with discounts if we show season tickets etc. No way will I step foot in there.

They are welcome - today there was two isolated “incidents” - one where someone was asked for ID and they were refused entry as they didn’t have any.
The other where someone had a hat on and was asked to remove it whilst in venue.
Any one who has had any problems today feel free to private message me so I can get them resolved. Understand options aren’t changed over night and one bad experience can ruin it for everyone.
We have had a fantastic response from the majority of fans enjoying discounted drinks and food, and had a great turn out at the fa cup event on Friday night with Danny Gabbidon and Neville Southall.

I went there with my son's yesterday ( better than werherspoons) , asked for id and had to remove hat, no issues , staff were pleasant and a mix of both sets of fans, asked to put the Italian footie match on the big screen instead of motor racing and was done without hassle. Don't mind the I'd bit as you know the venue is secure, not sure why they wanted the hat removal but as long as that's the same for both sets of fans and sports then I'm okay with that. Mind you when he said no hats in here i said you got some man city fans in here!.. my hearing is plaining up mind!!

The main point is, it’s not the same rules for both sets of fans, Rugby fans are not asked to remove anything or asked for id etc.
What I reading on fb and in the past my own experiences Cardiff City fans are treated with less respect by far comoared to rugby fans in this establishment, which is wrong after O have continually let them advertise on this forum.

Thanks, Eli. This seems to put a little perspective on the topic and I am aware of several City fans who had a good day at Walkabout before the game

Rugby fans are and will be asked to remove things such as hats - this is a policy which the majority of city centre venues have due to CCTV / ID.
Everyone no matter who you are on a match day of any sport is and can be asked for ID - this again is for security and safety. I’d take it as a compliment if someone ID’d me, not an insult!
There may have been times in the past under previous ownership and management where this would be different but I know all management there and know times have changed.
Please done let an isolated incident such as removal of a hat or ID tarnish your opinion of somewhere - especially when a lot of work is being done to welcome city, wales and all football fans. It won’t happen over night but it’s a start.
