That's poor for a new stadium to have restricted view seats , it does look that way though

I have been saying this for a while,the end row of seats are at best dead in line with the goal line!!

considering only the middle aisle's are open this season, it wont be a problem! the aim of the expansion is to expand it all the way around, so once it is completed all the way round, there will be no restricted views!

Each end of the stand stretches beyond the goal line.

Looking at pictures on google of the pitch from last season. The one goal line is just to the left of the 'C' on the aisle and the other is midway through the small block to the right of the 'F'.

This is the mock up.

you're probably right, I just knew it was all going to be expanded, just didn't know how!

Awful, anyone who thinks that belongs in a Cardiff City stadium needs a long hard look at themselves.

I disagree and think you should be the one taking a look. Seriously so negative all the time

exactly, seats can be changed. i for one am happy that we are expanding.

it seems some want us to go back to 3k crowds in div3

I have to be honest. I hate the rebrand and hated the thought of red seats but the more I see it the more im starting to like it. If we didnt have red shirts nobody would have cared what colour the seats are. So long as the old seats remain blue it should grow on us.
the whole ground really does look the part now. Try and stay positiv guys, we have to make the most of this because theres nowt we can do about it.

Negative about red Bristol City seats being put in a Cardiff City BLUE stadium on the whim of some foreigner who has money. Please forgive me.

We have come so far since my dad first took me down there. Now we have a club to be damn proud of even contemplating a stadium extension. Reality check I think from where we were to where we are

I'm not proud at all. The rebrand is spoiling pretty much everything to do with the club.

There wont be enough sitting there to fill the corners. So everyone will get a good view sitting in the middle.Looking forward to the view when we play the german side, we now have a stadium to be proud of.

Will be good to see it full for the Super Cup game in August.

Your comments are not negative mate, your spot on, a red stand at the home of Cardiff City, The BLUEirds. Makes a whole lot of sense. :?

is winging on a message board about the colour of seats really "fighting for your identity" though?

i think at best you're preaching to the choir and at worst you look like some knob complaining about seats inside a stadium you don't visit.

if you think that will change anything then your wrong mate...and thats coming from someone who hates the rebrand

What else can I do? I've boycotted since West Ham away in the playoffs, I've attended all but one of the protests, I need to keep the fight going somehow as, sadly, in another two or three years of Vincent Tan I think the red will have become the norm.

I'll continue to fight, complain and try to get the horrendous rebrand changed as much as I possibly can.

I haven't told you to do otherwise...

My comment wasn't aimed just at you...


My love for Cardiff and this club isn't defined by a particular colour.
But to each their own.
But I won't blame other fans for this,or make petty comments about what fans choose to wear.
They're paying customers,That gives them the right to support their club how they deem worthy.
You've chosen to Boycott. Your decision.

But we've been here before haven't we ?

Hence my initial comment. :thumbup: :bluescarf:
