Cardiff City fans LOCKED OUT of stadium

Wouldn't surprise me if we get an announcement sooner rather than later that Sporting events with spectators will resume in a couple of weeks. He'll add in a couple of caveats, such as hospital admissions, bit with nothing changing in England for 3 weeks there'll be pressure on Drakeford to come into line with Westminster.

Where does this leave season ticket holders? Will Cardiff City F.C offer a refund pro rata for the games missed?

Probably something in the t's and c's already that covers that possibility.

I hope so for them, this is no longer acceptable is my view

No longer 'acceptable' in which way regarding Cardiff City FC's uncontrolled position?

Oddly enough, for the club and season ticket holders, we are all in this together and without choice

Morning Sven, I am thinking the business of Cardiff City F.C. How many other businesses could temporarily move 100 miles+ and still maintain the support of it's fans/customers. It is possible, and therefore not 'uncontrolled' the decision to LOCK FANS OUT, to move temporarily put fans first. I don't want the club rewarded for closing the turnstiles, that's my taxes funding it.

I know some history on defiance in the football world. Newport 'exiled' to play home games in England on a matter of principle. They refused the FAW mandate that they join WPL.

Where are these heroic stances based on principle gone? Where are our heroes?

I want to to remember times when clubs were brave and would defy pathetic orders from authority, now clubs and authority in cahoots, both got hold on the whip.

Oh well, we're locked out, let's just buy a TV package, pop down the Club store instead, wait for our masters to allow us to be allowed back in

Cardiff City f.c, Newport County, Wrexham, Swansea agree that fans should be banned from games and that's a fact.

On season ticket holders, it's 2 interrupted seasons and the club hasn't done anything about it, made no contingency measures so why even bother getting one.

Season ticket holders are fans of LIVE sport, mingling before and after the event, having a laugh with friends. If I got offered a TV pass i'd refuse and get money back from Club on this principle and stream it anyway. They are not supporting season ticket holders.

I disagree locking fans out didn't come with any other choice. I disagree this is some kind of war and that we're all in this together. I personally feel outraged about any restriction to my liberty, there lies a fundamental difference in this debate.

Locked out until March at least.
City should consider moving games to England..
A relegation battle without fans.
Wales health minister quoted as, saying in regards to the six nations
"We'll see what happens. It's early days. The fact is this variant is moving very quickly. What we're hoping is we'll reach the peak and come down very quickly after that. I believe two of the matches are due to played in March so we'll see if we are out of the woods by then..
Fcuk me what happened to the covid passport.

100% we should move games, not just to have fans there but also financially it would be better.
Even if a 10,000 seater just over the bridge, would provide vital supporter and financial support.

Not an overnight solution but if enough people sign this it could bring Drakeford and his looney left cronies to heel.

Nearest ground for us would be Bristol City or Rovers (dont want to give the slave traders any of our money though). So maybe we could try Swindon's ground.

It just goes to show what an ill thought out policy this was by Mark Drakeford. You cant go and watch your team in their home ground but you can go and watch them play in England.

Drakeford starting to make himself look even more foolish - didnt think that was possible

Logistically it's harder for Cardiff than it would be for Newport who avg gate around the 3k mark. Also tribalism is still a thing so we could perhaps rule Bristol out on that basis. Our best agreeable venues..swindon, saints, reading

Would an English rugby ground work if convertible?

Near ones to border are:

Kingsholm Stadium 16,115 Gloucester
Recreation Ground 14,500 Bath
Sixways Stadium 12,024 Worcester

Too much standing probably.

How about the Ricoh? Coventry?

No changes in Wales.

Forest Green Rovers closest. 5500. Every game a sell out.

popped into asda in coryton this evening and saw a sign at the entrance stating that this store can accommodate 880 people under current covid restrictions , that would mean under the current rate of infection you would have 44 people with covid in a cofined space, what a laugh i would'nt feel safe in there with a 100 people. Just shows what a mess the WAG have made to say you can't sit out doors in a reduced capacity stadium.

You wouldn't feel safe?! Ha

This is the mass hysteria the media and Government have created. Not feeling 'safe' in a f*cking supermarket.

I wouldn't feel safe in the centre of Kabul, I wouldn't feel safe walking through a dodgy estate in London in the dark, I wouldn't feel safe standing on top of the Severn bridge with no harness! ... In Asda, doing my weekly shop, with a few other people and a cold floating around. I think I'd take my chances!!

my thoughts exactly...Drakeford has totally overreacted to the new strain which the south africans told us before it hit us here was "similar to the common cold & was very mild"...am no fan of boris but at least in England they waited until the south african evidence had been confirmed by our own experience which of course has now been seen many times over
Drakeford on the other hand choose to ignore the fact ..ignoring evidence from south Africa that it was very mild & little more than the common cold and once again impose draconian restrictions on our way of life.
Its much more than not being able to watch the city..or any other sport for that matter.
This "virus" is going to be with us for many years to come if not forever, weve got to learn to live with it as we do with the flu..which kills 20k plus every year far far less than omnicron

Wouldn't surprise me if we get an announcement sooner rather than later that Sporting events with spectators will resume in a couple of weeks. He'll add in a couple of caveats, such as hospital admissions, bit with nothing changing in England for 3 weeks there'll be pressure on Drakeford to come into line with Westminster.

Hi ThomasC, I don't disagree with large amounts of that

But my point was that this cannot possibly be laid at Tan's feet and surely, like the WRU, they are just 'playing the game' by agreeing with the inept bunch (WAG) that sadly, as we have seen, hold an almost perverse 'power' over all things Wales right now, including open air sporting events that have worked without raising the Covid rates directly to date

Wales currently has the fastest rising rate of infection in the UK, despite the ban on open air events, so there is (as even many politicians accept) no real reason for enforcing the outside sporting events

Hi Sven, I am asking too much of the club. The practicalities of moving are obvs not that simple. I can make that known this isn't the Club or Tan's fault. More frustration and wishful thinking on my part. Have a great day

Yes and it would make Drakeford look stupid that his rules would cause more of a problem with people travelling further and greater risk of spread, he would have to cave in.
