Joint Statement From CCSC and CCST

JOINT STATEMENT FROM THE CARDIFF CITY SUPPORTERS' CLUB AND SUPPORTERS' TRUST

The supporters of Cardiff City were relieved to hear the club has been given a further 56 days by the High Court to clear its outstanding tax debts. However, fans were also alarmed to hear the Bluebirds described as "plainly insolvent" by the barrister representing Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

It is obvious that our football club is in a wretched financial state and yet there appears to have been none of the drastic cost-cutting measures we have seen at other clubs who have encountered similar problems. Instead, it seems the only remedies being offered by the Cardiff City board are hopes of substantial foreign investment or promotion to the Premiership.

Given the club's perilous position and our team's poor recent form, both solutions seem wildly optimistic. Consequently, these are very worrying times for Bluebirds fans.

Despite the club's increasingly desperate plight, its management and players have continued to collect their hefty wages, and there are suggestions that some of the major shareholders have ensured monies owing to them have been paid ahead of those owed to HMRC.

Meanwhile, supporters have been asked to dip into their pockets time and again, and they have done so. Within the space of the last twelve months, the club has benefited from record season ticket sales and its highest attendance levels since the early-Seventies, so the fans have clearly been playing their part.

At present, the feeling amongst the Bluebirds' support is that we are being badly let down by those who are in control of our club. We were led to believe the move to our new stadium was the dawn of a bright new era, but in recent months it has been developing into a nightmare and there are genuine fears that things will go from bad to worse in the near future.
The board of directors and major shareholders are the custodians of our proud football club and, as such, they have a very clear duty to safeguard its future. We therefore hope they acknowledge their responsibilities and start to act accordingly.

On behalf of Cardiff City's thousands of loyal supporters, we hereby call upon the directors, shareholders, management and players to set aside their personal interests and do what is right by our beloved football club during the critical weeks ahead.

too little too late...

I'll stick with Annis and the demos.

That is all fluff and bluster (and wank)

Good call from the supporters club and trust.

Good statement there TLG. However that fucker who sits in his gold chair, will kick back, read it then scrunch it up into a ball and see if he can chuck it in the bin from 40 yards while stroking his rather large ego! WE NEED ACTION but its a good start.

That told 'em.

So what next ??

A well worded statement, but what action will be taken?

A well worded statement, but what action will be taken?

NONE !! !! !!

like I said, stick with annis and the ppl off this forum.

Only way to get these blood sucking leeches out is with direct action. And that march was DEFINATELY direct action.

The very fact that PR is in hiding shows how much pressure he is under

i say lets picked his house ,me and my homeboys are down cowbridge tomorrow night we will go over his house after a nice curry at the balti house! house arrest for crimes against football

whats next?

well another sit down and a think of what next to write or type up!

The trust and supporters club, need to get behind the action now as well.

I will Support the team and demo. I will not support the way our club is run.

How about a Campaign ?, WHATS DOES THIS STATEMENT MEAN ?
TLG its you who should resign from the Trust.

ALL WORDS ONCE AGAIN .

Couldn't agree more a complete waste of time. On CCMB TLG described the Trust goals as a 'long term project'

F**king great idea that considering there is only 8 weeks to save the club

I knew that sort of statement would come out. As far as I'm concerned that is too political.

My message to the trust is come out with something more substanial like Ridsdale is going to put his salary on hold until this mess is sorted instead of this "we ask the board etc etc"

trust = talking shop
all mouth no action they will wait untill we go under like they have already, have the trust spoken to pete the penis this week about the clubs future or has tlg been arse licking for a job?

This Statement is what we already know and have known for over a year in MY OPINION.

TLG for over 7 days you fought against the March and then you make a statement about what you already know, WHAT ACTION ARE YOU DOING ?

At least Sign OUR Petition.

You would have thought at the VERY LEAST they would have encouraged all supporters to sign the petition in the statement?

The trouble is even that is too confrontational for the Trust. It is now a busted flush, should be ignored by us in the same way the club seems to be doing.

if you know where the fucker lives (cowbridge?),plaster the village with ridsdale out parafenalia,knowing that cowbridge has a high population of stuck up cunts will surely get him banned from the local swinging and dogging groups

TLG wouldnt do that because someone from this Forum like Carl started the Petition.

he alreay owes the local takeaway money

what can i say, not only does that statement let the trust down it lets the thousands of cardiff city fans down who have already payed next years ST

its time for action, and that time is now!!!!

I realise it's difficult for TLG to grasp, but the Trust and CCSC DO NOT represent thousands of loyal CCFC supporters.

They represent their members.

How dare TLG claim to speak of behalf of myself and the many others who reject their inactivity!

Care to explain why Baz?

Looking for a positive it does send a message to Ridsdale that ALL city fans are now onto him.Although this board did say that very thing over 2 months ago

Last week he may have thought f**k the D.A.M. (Direct Action Mob) they are a minority, I still have the Trust and the Supporters Club onside.

This message tells him that thats no longer the case and he now has the D.A.M., Trust and Supporters Club on his back.

However D.A.M. still had to keep going, getting in his face and pushing him that bit further till he cracks if no one else will.

D.A.M.!!
D.A.M.!!
D.A.M.!!
D.A.M.!!

because its all what we have known for months, its just a weak statement and it only represents the members of those organisations
