Against Modern Football

The season ticket fiasco with block 117 , earlier the club released a statement that the area of block 117 season ticket holders would have to moved due to the higher away allocation for the premiership teams visiting Cardiff and the segregation needed. Ok we would have to move, only 100 season tickets holders involved and these needed to call the ticket office. If the others have encountered the issues that I've experienced they would know that I would have to move from 5 blocks from my seats in 117 if I wanted to sit with my son and daughter. No provisions made for the 100 that would have to move from the club, no consultation no period of time given to us to see if any seats available all seasons tickets put on general sale to anybody.
My general opinion about the club rebrand is indifferent I'm a Cardiff City fan,I can see both sides of the debate on this, but the above situation has finally bought the realisation that we have been taken over by money men who don't care about the fans.
All these people running our club care about is money and after watching the bluebirds for 32 years and my son and daughter for the past 12 years, next year fingers crossed I will see us playing in the premiership but I'm afraid that next season will be my last at the club, we have fallen into the genre of soulless stadiums,fans who don't travel and stadium management who try to destroy any attempt to create atmosphere.
Is this Modern Football because if it is I'm against it.
Just to make my opinion of the club any worse they will offer 20,000 red scarves out to anyone that turns up but can't organise 100 people to move in the stadium who I'm sure have offered their loyalty over the time that we moved from Ninian Park.

I'm in exactly the same position as you mate.
Didn't mind moving at all but as you would've thought they would at least consider us before selling the rest on general sale, considering we have been there all the time. They should've sorted the current season ticket holders out who have supported the club first before selling season tickets to the new comers, but as you said we are seen as just more income not fans.
Can happily organise giving away 20,000 free red scarfs but somehow can't organise and consider 100 season ticket holders.
