Do you feel that the club should have a discount system for.

A million percent yes.

I like the bit about past members too , but how can we prove it ? That said CCFC needs as much cash as they can at the mo but something for the future maybe ?

No

When you leave the Forces, you get issued with a record of service book (Mine's a red plastic Army one).

You also get monthly pay statements, just like being in Civvie Street, so either method would prove you were Ex Forces!

Not sure I agree with either current or Ex Servicemen (Of which I'm one), being allowed discounted tickets, otherwise we may well have to look at Emergency Services Personnel etc., getting discounts as well.

Whilst the Emergency Services do a worthwhile job as well, they are all on very good wages, unlike some of the lower ranks in the Army for example!

How the feck can people say no?

They can prove it by having the Royal British Legion to help them out too. Surely it would benefit income rather than reduce it as that person will hardly come to a game on their own. So their friends and family will be paying full price which will hopefully generate new supporters.

This idea has some merit in my opinion!

Perhaps the club could allow Service Personnel discounted tickets, if they attended with a certain amount of full paying customers with them!

I agree but on the other hand I served for 12 years and watched CCFC at the same time without any discounts , plus the Forces pay very good salaries to their personnel !

I did 316 more days than you!

You're right in the main Martyn, but I'm not sure that the Junior Ranks get paid so well though, especially in The Army!

How the feck can people say no?

Why should they? Because they do a job deemed more worthy than others for a pretty decent salary?

Should nurses get a discount? What about teachers? Ambulance drivers?

I didnt say NO but I said I watched CCFC for 12 years without any discount , if 1 had been offered then ofcourse I would have taken it !

I am not even going to be commenting back to this ridiculous answer.

Please do, I'd like to know your reasoning.

They risk their lives every day and you dont think they deserve discount? Prehaps you should join them for a month and when you come back lets see if your opinion has changed then.

They risk their lives every day yes. They chose to join the army though, and their reasons would have been many and varied.
I bet none of those reasons would have been discounted entry into football matches though.

Just seen your facebook page, you appear to be 12, ho hum. See how you feel when your youthful sense of entitlement wares off.

12? 16, am I too young too realise that the army deserve maximum respect and treating them too football matches on when they are on leave isn't too much to much to ask?

Yes you are. You are also assuming that because you enjoy football so should they. What about people in the forces that don't like football, what should you provide for them?

Don't answer that though, this argument must end!

plus its now gone from Armed Forces to Army , I sense a hidden agenda here Mr Fish ?

Football is there as an option to them as it is too us, its not compulsory for any human being. It would be down to other business' such as theatre for example to provide discount. I would like to know how old you are, because you seem more childish than me?

We're talking about what CARDIFF CITY FOOTBALL CLUB can do for the Armed Forces, not all sports, you absolute f*cking tool.

I'm 37 and I believe in paying our armed forces a wage that fairly rewards them for the work they do. They should then be free to spend that money on whatever they like.

As my original argument went, where do we go from there, nurses, doctors etc...

1 season I bought a season ticket and I got posted to the outer reaches of the Scottish Hebrides Islands so I wrote to CCFC and they refunded me my ticket , they didnt have to but they did ! This was 1987 mind

You talk about pay then mention Doctors? Please don't contradict yourself.

As for nurses, the city have already started offering deals to the "999" staff as they put it, meaning policemen, firemen and the ambulance service. I've no doubt this will expand in due course.

If you believe that 16k a year is fair pay for somebody who is out in Afghanistan, I urge you to look again. Please. For my sanity.

They have given 999 free tickets to emergency services, I guess this is wrong too?

Even small tokens like this are good. If they wanted to they could've been really stingy about it! Granted, it was in the 80's though

No, I was talking about "worthy" professions, not how much they earn. I've no idea how much a soldier in Afghanistan gets paid but if it is 16k then it probably relates to about 25k for anyone who is not worthy of this discount with their bed and board paid for.

Also there's only 999 tickets for emergency staff, once those are gone, they're gone. A nice bit of cheap advertising for the club.

what about free tickets or cheap tickets to schools for the nights when only 18,000 will turn up at the CCS ?

They do a fantastic job, no one will ever deny that but it was their chosen profession. I also think Nurses, Doctors, Fireman and the Police do a good job and so should they get a discount??

That's exactly what I said and got called a "f*cking tool" for it. Funny old world isn't it.
