If we renew then we're not being true to ourselves and we are selling out. If we don't renew then we are turning our backs on the club. For me, personally, I only need to stay true to myself. I know my feelings, I know my reasons and I respect those of others. I have no time for anyone slating my decision because it's not their decision to make.
Ely Boy, I said earlier, I agree with you on your feelings and in a way I am in a similar position. I will always support Cardiff and wish them well but I cannot justify being a season ticket holder and giving my money to a man who has shown no respect to the fans or the tradition of the club. I wish people would stop assuming that if you're not a season ticket holder, you're not a real fan.

Depends what that matter is though.
No matter what means no matter what.
So if Cardiff City change their name?

I can appreciate that position but tonnes of those who are saying this are saying they don't care any more, that their feelings for the club are gone. I find that incredible over just a colour change.

For me personally, and I think it will be the same with others, it is more than the colour change. It is the lack of respect the owners are showing for the fans, the club and its traditions. My patience was tested with the colour change but I put up with it because I wanted to carry on going to every game and thought I should suck it up for the good of the club.
However, Vincent Tan's chat and actions have been nothing short of disrespectful and obnoxious. The red scarf bribery was embarrassing and really hit me harder than I thought it would. I think I always felt that beneath the thousands of season ticket holders that there was an underbelly of discontented fans who were tolerating the colour change but then to see all those scarves... I just died a bit inside to be honest. It felt like all those people I thought who felt how I felt didn't feel that way.
There's plenty of other reasons and things that have made me decide not to renew but it's different for each person. I just wish fans who have renewed would stop berating those that haven't. It's a personal decision and no need for aggro. I totally understand why people haven't renewed but I also understand why people are sticking with the club. It's all subjective.

I ain''t going to mock them leaving the club for a bit or whatever.
I ain't going to be gutted if they leaving though.. its their choice.
I will continue to support the club..I don't like it but Football has changed and some people haven't realised that it has happened to other clubs with all the advertisining in other countrys.. some people need to realise Football ent how it was back in the day.

Each to their own, but we are still Cardiff City whatever you say and one day we will be back in blue.
