Carls was having the same prob, but thankfully its money or no booking with Carl now.


If thats true then its understandable that he's upset. Probably best to get money up front and only ask for the extra tickets once you actually know the tickets will bet taken.

We should sell out for Everton but like many I can't afford to go. Also if we were still in blue more fans would care but seeing as Vince knew about the rebrand before rest of us he is a fine one to talk about fan loyalty.

That's my point where is the proof otherwise it's just idle gossip, and let's be honest there is way to much of that

Not sure if this carries any weight, but I know loads of old fans
(The old always type) who do not go away anymore.

All the upheaval has lost the spark for them.

This may be part of the reason. As a different type of fan is going or cherry picking now.

I'm working or would be there.

Have struggled to make aways as don't know if I can go until close to game.
By then tickets/bus have gone.

All my always this season, apart from hull have been on train. (Those being cup games and Fulham.) it's been expensive.

Vince ..,, hmmmm

Nice bloke , couldn't trust him but nice enough .

Bit dramatic , seems out of reality to be fair.

Recession , fans pissed off with red tan and at the end of day ain't a big club.


He's swung left right and centre , heart in right place , brain? Different matter.

Gets sucked in too often In my book

Re: Vince Alm Cardiff Supporters Club "Its Shocking & embarr

Fri Mar 14, 2014 9:23 pm

He knew about the rebrand

He supported it to keep close to the masters within.

Hence why Borley Red praises him.

As ive said countless times, you need to stop thinking you are a big club. It is insanely delusional. 2000 are going which was half both our HOME attendances in the late 90's, be happy.

The fact many will take that as an insult says it all.

we average 27,000 which is the 13th highest in the EPL.......considering EVERY one of the 12 clubs with bigger averages have won a trophy or 20 since we last won one, and have all spent at least 20 years playing top flight football while we scratched around in the lower leagues over the last 40 years..id say we are getting there.............

Re: Vince Alm Cardiff Supporters Club "Its Shocking & embarr

Fri Mar 14, 2014 10:56 pm

I don't see the problem , 2,500 is a very good number for any club in the country to take away to any ground .
Not everybody can afford every game , some have to pick and choose .

My understanding is you provisionally book a place weeks before , if circumstances change between then and the time you confirm and you can no longer make the trip tough shit , that's life . People who run these trips know the score and they take the gamble . Don't moan afterwards if random people you hardly know let you down .

A lot of other clubs do the trips through the club officially not separate organisations , maybe it's time for that to happen with us as well to stop this .

Cardiff are a big club we are just not a huge club 2000 plus is a good number , if our so called supporter leaders overestimated demand for this fixture that is there fault . If I ran the bus I would want The money as and when they book .

Cardiff are not a huge club, clubs like Everton are huge, they sell there whole away allocation to every away match, even to somewhere like Southampton on a Tuesday night on live tv, and then they could still sell more. Problem with Cardiff is the club itself, they make it hard for their own fans to buy away tickets. I wanted 3 more tickets for Everton for none season ticket holders or members a week ago, I was refused these tickets, these 3 fans have now made alternate arrangements for tomorrow, our club is badly run and still in the dark ages of lower league football when it comes to ticket sales and merchandise etc, unfortunately we are destined to return to the lower leagues soon, good luck next season putting restrictions on Leyton orient away :ayatollah: :old: :ayatollah:

do you really think you can ring Everton and just get 4 tickets to an away game with no membership?

what has that got to do with anything? Some of the clubs below you in the "attendance charts" simply cant fit any more in. It has nothing to do with attendances anyway. You are not a big club.

i do keep asking that, and yet to have a reply.

Why write that? Because its true. You have been in the top flight once in the last 50 years. Its obvious and even cardiff fans have highlighted that on this very thread. Stop getting your knickers in a twist.

It is this delusion of being a big club that gets you into such messes as Tan being able to rebrand you, as you sold out to everyone who stoked the ego.

Yes it is def pay on the day, City have had to pay for all 3,000 tickets, so they of course want their money back. :thumbup:


Stupid question from somebody who hasn't seen a match in England before: We are 3 norwegians who are in Liverpool tomorrow and want to support our fellow countrymen. Is possible for us to get tickets in the Cardiff section?

I agree it is wrong and unfair for people to cancel when they have booked,

However his FB status' just irritate me and me me feel like crap, as a final year student who is unemployed I put all my money into away games and if i could I would go every week, however I do not have a money tree to take away games from.

I have been travelling with CCSC to away games for over 4 years and have gone to as many as I can each season (usually 10-16) And to be told I should miss WBA away just because I can't afford Everton is insulting and damn right childish from a man I previously respected!

Who the f**k does he think he is telling people like me what games I should be going to? After years and hundreds if not thousands of pounds spent on away games in the past I will choose what prem games I want to go to thank you very much, and for the f*cking record the only 'big games' i've gone to are United and Swansea
