A huge amount of our fan base, indeed I would say the majority feel exactly the same as above I know I do.

However, in the eyes of some we would be branded as 'sell outs' and only interested in Premiership glory.

To that allegation I would plead GUILTY as charged because I am a sell out and I want Premiership glory, as a fan why wouldn't I want success for my team?

I've got a couple of friends who have boycotted. I don't agree with them but totally understand their viewpoint and respect that. If we are"glory hunters"and"sell outs"then I've been one of those for the last 25 seasons - because all I've ever wanted was to see Cardiff City FC play at the highest level. I get the counter claims which I've read thousands of threads on. I'd rather see us in blue, but that's not happening for the time being. When we win the title this year as Gwyn says above let's make it a sea of BLUE. Ironically that will be as much of a statement of protest as anything the stay aways have managed

im happy to get mine again but just wish the club would put out other things that they are going to do next season,they could have put ideas in the programmes this year so at least we know what is expected ,i can see them wanting everyone to renew and then hit us with more rebranding news again.

I think the away supporters will spread into the Community Seating between away fans and the Family Stand.

I would hazards a guess that if we are still on course when the tickets go on general sale there will be queues overnight for the 1,000 extra ST's plus anymore that are not renewed.

Why are clubs not allowed to sell out their stadium with ST's?

The away support will take part of he community section and part of the Ninian Stand.

Clubs can sell season tickets to every seat apparently.


Carl, myself and the boys are in section 123 next to the away supporters do you thing we will have to move? and to where??

i will be renewing as i have for the past 45 years, but i think it would be respectful of the club to inform its fans if there is going to be any further rebranding of OUR club :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

What happens if we have to move from our seats in the Family/Ninian? As the club won't know about that in February we can't do that till the end of the season, but will that mean we get only the seats no-one else wants? Seems unfair to be selling to new ST holders before existing loyal ones who go to every game have the chance to choose new seats. Our seats are great but if we have to move and if they sell new STs in Feb/March we will probably only have the corner stands and the rubbish seats to choose from. Seems unfair to be bottom of the list when my kids and I have missed only three games since we moved to the new stadium. Any ideas?

Re: " SEASON TICKETS GOING ON SALE SOON "

Mon Jan 21, 2013 5:42 pm

I'm currently in block 123. Is it likely I'll have to move seats? Me and my kid go and we are a few rows back and stay dry. Don't really want to be moved to a different part of the ground where the STs may cost more and we might be in a row that gets wet when it rains

How often do I post a thread regarding the re-brand then ?

Not saying you personally, but it seems that when things go quiet on this subject, someone pops this in to stir things up

Very much how I feel and I will be renewing whatever. That said I can understand how some fans might feel about the rebrand and after the way it was implimented last year then every fan I suppose has a right to question before committing.

If we were a company in say manufacturing,the owners would rebrand the product to increase sales, the shop floor would not like what is happening but could not do anything about it, you could protest, but it would fall on deaf ears.
At the end of the day management will manage has they feel fit, at this moment in time everything is turning out perfect for VT and and his management team, we are top of the league and are looking in a really strong position for promotion to the PL, and we all know the riches that await our club, global exposure for Cardiff as a club and our Capital City, also the advertising opportunities that will be seen globally, everything is now falling into place, I like many who have supported this club for a long time, through thick and thin, can see past what has happened with the colour and badge change, and now look forward to playing at the highest level to realise the potential of this great club.

Will you be renewing or hoping to buy regardless or will you want to know if the re-branding is going any further before you commit to purchasing and do you think the club should inform supporters of any more radical changes, if there are indeed any ?


Do you know the date that they go on sale?

Probably 25th, could be 27th though :lol:


25th or 27th of feb? :old:

I support Cardiff city full stop rebrand or not blue or red or even all pink

Re: " SEASON TICKETS GOING ON SALE SOON "

Tue Jan 22, 2013 10:36 am

I am looking for a bit of advice please...Does anyone know if there is a waiting list for season tickets? The ticket office wouldn't give me much info. I am living overseas and my lad has become a very big City fan since I took him to his 1st game back in 2001 against Bournemouth 2-2 draw to the extent that he is considering going to Uni in Cardiff next year so that he can follow City every weekend rather than joining his friends in Uni's in the country we are living.

We do not get across as much as we would like, I just would like to give him a season ticket as a present!

Re: " SEASON TICKETS GOING ON SALE SOON "

Thu Jan 24, 2013 8:00 pm

The main thing i want to know is will i get moved and where will i get moved to when we get go up. We have 6 season tickets (2 adults 4 kids) in the family end from seat 1 right next to the away end. will they be able to find us 6 together elsewhere seeing that they will probably sell out in most area's of season tickets before we are officialy up, or is there an area ring fenced for this and if so when can we start selecting where we want to move to?
