Ridsdale will claim the credit for the extra sales.

His CV now reads
Got Cardiff to FA Cup Final, built stadium, got club to highest league position for 40 yrs, highest average attendance and highest number of season tickets sold on a day in may.

He can put whatever he likes on his CV provided the words "employed at Cardiff City from March 2005 to May 2010 appear."

I was one of those 1,100 yesterday afternoon :ayatollah:

I think a lot of people were in the same boat, I'd still have gone to every match, but did not want to risk losing £400 over it!

True, but not the main factor (in my opinion).

This season I was not a season ticket holder, as I wanted the full allocation of paper tickets for our first season in the CCS.

I still attended every single home game (31 so far) and paid over £800 to do so, which is twice as much money put back into the club than if I'd bought a season ticket.

However I could see a situation where I could probably get a ticket for the semi-final if I waited in the queue for tickets for several hours, but Wembley (if we get there) I couldn't risk. ;)

So I guess my reasons were 2 fold, chance of administration and losing my money gone, and yes chance of guaranteed Wembley ticket if we get there.

Still dissappointed that I will no longer be able to collect tickets though :(

:lol:

as soon as that fat prick walks out of the doors never to return again ill be straight down to get my season ticket :ayatollah:

im hoping that sense will prevail and that current ST holders will be given the chance to renew or not in the close season.

If one current ST holder decides NOT to renew then that seat becomes available

As is the norm in the football world....

Hence a lot of big/well supported clubs have waiting lists, makes sense.
