BE HONEST, WILL YOU RENEW

Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:01 am

I have heard it time and time again on here about all the new fans Cardiff City has now got,just cos were in the prem .
My question is to all the so called new fans ,will you be renewing your season tickets if he drop back into the championship ?

As a long time City fan I would say, if we do take the drop, we will need you as much as every old time fan, to help us get back up again.
Ok you may see some real bad performances ,but that goes with every team even Manu. So I would say keep backing the Bluebirds and get your season ticket and help your team, cos even though you may be a new fan ,you count as much as the long time fans and we do need you. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Putting ticket prices up when we are currently total shit is suicide.

They haven't got a leg to stand on if we go down, especially as we are increasing the stadium size.

Asking for an extra £100 off AOPs is soooooooooooooo tighttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt.

Haven't done it yet, bit short of money but will do.

I was planning on just picking games next year and still doing away if we were under MM but under Ole I will happily renew. :ole:

Yes, it's in the blood.

Will always renew regardless of what's happening down there. You've got to take the rough with the smooth.

agree fully.............my gripe is why should i pay £110 more than others for the same product..i am renewing but the fact i have to subsidise others bugs me.

Yes,I'm renewing Friday,anyway if we do go down it won't be the end of the world I quite like the championship ,I enjoyed being top of it rather than bottom of the prem :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

^^^^^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^^ :thumbup:

Cardiff City FC in my blood and in my heart, no matter who is in charge at the top :ayatollah:

As for 'prices rises', we are probably still under where we would have been had the 'freeze' not been in place and the majority of supporters still have one more year on that ;) :ayatollah:

Re: BE HONEST, WILL YOU RENEW

As part of the price freeze, sure, but I can understand some choosing not to if they have to splurge an additional £150 with the club potentially being relegated.

Not really, fella, as those currently on the 'freeze' were those that were there when the club were in the mire and committed to 5 years of support. Others since have, to some extent, also been subsidised by the club in an effort to attract crowds

Our current (relative) success was not on the horizon in real terms at that time; indeed, we might not have had a club to support at all (and almost certainly not in the Premier League)

If anyone genuinely thinks prices have been set to 'claw back' lost money from those season tickets at the expense of the 'new' fans, then they are (IMHO) deluded, as simple maths will show that the average price rise over those 5 years (including a promotion to the Premier League) amounts to about 6-7% per annum, which in my book is just about acceptable for a team whose status and profile has risen so sharply

What will hurt is that ALL attending fans (either this year or next) will be playing 'catch up' on those natural price rises in one big lump and (as already being shown) and it needs to be put into perspective

Great while it lasted, but time to come back into the real world, I'm afraid ;) :ayatollah:

Disagree with you here Sven.

At the time of the offer of the freeze we were pushing for promotion. Simple as that.

However it was always a risk that their would be an exodus of fans once the freeze was over. it will be very interesting next season to see what happens and what type of support the club will end up with.

:thumbup:

The purpose of the 'price freeze' was to generate much-needed cash at a time when (despite pushing for promotion under DJ) with an incentive for fans (new and old) to commit to the club in the immediate future

It was good while it lasted but, as you rightly say, it will be very interesting next season to see what happens and what type of support the club will end up with next season; although, as usual, I think the club have played a blinder (for their own purposes) by selling next year's season tickets well before the outcome of THIS season is truly known

Stay in the Premier League...good deal TBH, as we should build on this season's lesons

Back to the Championship...not so good a deal, and a lot of empty seats for a lot of game (particularly midweek)

Interesting times indeed :ayatollah:

There close to no value for money with season tickets now. Extremely high prices yet tickets will be so easy to come by. Plus we're likely to be in the Championship. When the price freeze end I can see so many people stopping, especially if we aren't Premier League

That is what I was thinking. My £689 season ticket works out to 36 quid a game. Which is a huge ripoff, especially for crap games against Stoke, Hull and basically anyone in the lower half.
