It's not the stadium mate. It's the fans. The issues are as I see it are:

There are too many new fans who don't sing.
These many new fans are spread throughout the stadium meaning that it dilutes the atmosphere generated by those of us that do sing.
It's an all seater and those who may have been drawn towards a noisy section during the terracing days cannot anymore.
Some of our fans who used to sing can no longer be bothered and are using the new stadium as an excuse.

If you think new stadiums remove atmosphere then go to the Britannia and listen!

It's down to the genuine life long fans to get it going, to introduce the new fans to it and encourage them to sing. I remember going down there when I was a kid and it's quite daunting when you've never done it before.

Why don't you move to the Canton Stand Ely? There is a better atmosphere there and you can stand and sing all you want.
Don't just give up fella.

If you are already in the Canton, then you're screwed ;) :lol:

Saturday was the worst i have seen but there was mitigating circumstances. But the Canton does sound to be rocking. But keep the faith chief.

Yes come to the Canton mate, in my eyes if everyone did this then we would have all the singers together which i think will improve the atmosphere. :D

I sit in 118 at Ninian and went to ticket office saturday and they don't have spare seats in the niddle near the back in the canton

Re: Refund on season ticket

Tue Sep 13, 2011 5:09 pm

I'm in the canton row dd few from back..... And it's shit in there.... The days where we have good atmosphere have gone.... You get an odd song every 10 mins and done people think that's great..... I love Cardiff city and I always will.... But slowly I'm losing interest in going down every week.... I've had a season ticket now for 8 seasons I've it would've been 11 but got banned :oops: for 3.... I've started plating football again now on Saturday's... So my season ticket is in the bedroom unless my match is off :lol:

Football is shit these days.. cant be arsed in new stadium.. i always sing but its getting worse, the atmosphere is almost gone... not the fans its new stadium, layout, accoustics and being half a mile away from away support, lising banter..

The exact problem, fans using the stadium as an excuse so just don't bother. The stadium has been rocking for certain games so it has to be down to fans.

I believe they do refunds but I don't think they should. You can't wear a jumper for a few weeks then decide to return it.

Re: Refund on season ticket

Tue Sep 13, 2011 7:49 pm

I posted about 2-3 years ago saying you would find that when you moved into your new stadium
it would change for the worse.
Granted, football has to move on from the old ground days pissy toilets stinking seats etc,,
but health @ safety has killed the atmosphere.
Power trip wannabe police- stewards who don't give a flying f**k for the team
which you've followed through thick & thin for the cause,just coz they failed the ob test
and got bullied at school they think that being a steward it's the next best thing.
(& they know cctv has their back covered.)
If people want to stand & sing then so be it-
I for 1 get carried away down the liberty and no doubt make a tw*t of myself shouting and singing but
all my intention is getting my beloved team on the pitch to a victory, spurring them on.
My attitude is where were they in the old days of crowds of 3000 yes 3000 when the owners & team were crying
out for fans like me who had passion, s if they don't like what i got to say f**k off and watch rugby. :old:
The old days were the best but time has moved on, don't let these new plastic prawn sarny brigade
grind you down.
We are the real fans who have made football, paid their wages so that entitles us to our say in todays game.
Get up and sing no matter where you are sitting after a while they'll all start joining in
and the buzz will be back mushes,trust me. :lol:

There must be something wrong with me, because I love it in the Ninian Stand at the CSS, used to really enjoy the Bob Bank at the old stadium as well, match days are still something special to me after all these years, away days are also great to be a part of with this Forum too, hope to get back into the away mode next month, when I've sorted out my hectic family life. :old:

Love the new stadium as well nobber. Ninian died years before we left.

Re: Refund on season ticket

Tue Sep 13, 2011 7:59 pm

This will go on and on. Times have changed wether we like it or not. The only thing is now thou, is that same feeling that we used to get at home we now have to go away to feel anything like it. :cry: :cry:

So i understand totally where Elyboy is coming from. :ayatollah:

I agree with both of you I love going to CCS just as much as I did Ninian Park. It is possible to create a great atmosphere there if there is the will to do so.

People conveniently forget how quiet Ninian was most of the time.
