Some comments quite offend me I have missed three games all season and I'm not a season ticket holder, I can't afford one I earn just short of £300 a week with 2 kids does that make me less committed than a sth ?

not really a relevant idea is it?
i work till 8 in the week so never get to any mid week games, people can be too busy in mid week to go to games, that's why im glad i dont work weekends!

on that note, works slow anyone want a review of thier life insurance? haha

I aint having a go at all but I dont get this, you could have had an interest free season ticket over 5 months.
My season ticket is in the premium section of the Ninian stand so cheaper seats are certainly available. That totals just under £80 a month for just 5 months, if I didnt have a season ticket Id have spent much more than £80 a month on tickets alone. Not sure if you take your kids but the offers in the family stand at the start of the season are exceptional.

The fact that you have been to a lot of games and may not get a ticket is a shame and there will be other like you who deserve one who may not but in fairness the club stated this at the start of the season and its been the same for years.

My dad hasnt been to any cup games all season but has a season ticket and will certainly be going to this game if he wishes, its his right.

thanks for that bit of info didnt realise that u could do that.
i dont mind sth's getting priority it was more against the opinion that the sth's put more into the club financially and are more committed than anyone else.

how do u go about paying for a st in instalments?

So i've been to the Huddersfield, Leicester, Burnley and Blackburn game. All apart from round 1 so does that mean I should get the same priority as someone who has only been to the Blackburn game or only been to the Huddersfield game? NO.
Stupid idea really, season ticket holders should be first priority.
Rant Over. :lol: :lol:

Sadly cant for a half season. Start of the season though you can though (assuming they do it again which im sure they will).

Its through another company (I forget the name) but via Cardiff City, you fill out a form that they will have at the ticket office when they are put on sale. You fill it out and then they just take 5 equal payments off you over 5 months but with no interest. Its a lot simpler than ive made it sound :lol:

They also do a longer one over say 12 months but they charge interest on top of that one. I would guess still a lot cheaper than buying match day tickets though.

Now that wouldn't be fair.

It wont start until the season tickets go on sale, check back on here and ill make sure it posted up. Its also mentioned on the official website.

This is an old link back to PR days http://www.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/page/New ... 91,00.html
but the basis of it is still correct but anyone can take up the offer to do it interest free I believe.
