Would love to see a City shop in the centre of town somewhere.
Regular adverts in the Echo promoting it and of course selling tickets.
It would raise the profile of the club big time.
I know we had the Joma one near the station but that was obviously out of the clubs control.
The club could do no worse than to salary (handsomely) Billy Badge and sell the clubs merchandise. :D :D :D :D :D :D
The club could make a fortune. ;)

i agree plus there's loads to be done, but they all got the IQ of a brussel sprout down there and would never think of anything!

SHIP OUT ALL THE DEAD WOOD, get people in who want to work and promote the club

Of course they do! Why the efforts should be doubled....tripled. To make sure a fiasco doesnt happen! I think thats the point people are making, how many time's have we signed a world class player? C'MON they should be pulling out all the stops. "No expense spared" Etc! Were the talk of the world cash in, before the novelty wear's off.


We are NOT Man City!!!!




No we are CARDIFF CITY. Marketing should be top priority IMO.

It would have looked incredible if they had the budget to do this on the castle walls:

shirt sales have rocketed more season tickets have been sold theres a near enough sell out for a game that would normally be lucky to hit the 20k mark!!so i really dont know how you can argue against this.there is one problem the players need to put in a performance and get a win to keep the ball rolling!!
