Tickets are definitely overpriced especially when there are billions of pounds being pumped into football but nothing coming back to the fans.
Most season ticket holders miss a few games per season so there are no perks now to being a season ticket holder. You could just turn up on the day and save money over the season and sit where you want.
Its the atmosphere and pricing for me.
I agree the atmosphere hasn't been good at City games but I don't think you can blame the stadium , it's been rocking in there for Wales games and the Super Cup Final . It's the fans not making the atmosphere at City , I think if we played more attacking football than defensive football
These are important points. You simply can't blame the stadium when there have been times when the CCS atmosphere has surpassed the Ninian Park experience.
Were you there for Leicester when we held out for a win with 10 men ? What about Chops 2 against the Jacks, Man City, Forest in the promotion year, Charlton,etc in promotion year, and I could go on.
If the atmosphere can be good on those occasions then it clearly can't be the fault of the stadium when it's poor. Atmosphere is, and will always, be down to the fans who are there.

None of his points are valid, you can stand all game in the Canton no hassle, tickets are well priced for championship level, most of the team are on sensible wages bar 1 or 2 exceptions and 8 of the starting 11 v huddersfield were from the UK/Ireland.
I just love reading everyones excuses for not going.
Same here - laughable.
The latest one being the lack of welsh players![]()
Did not seem to matter in previous years - any old excuse will do though - until we start looking good for the Prem and then they will forget all that

I have always had a "thing" for welsh/local representation in our squad, in fact all of club football. thats just my personal wish that adds extra to connection to our players for me, its worse than previous years right now, an ignored declan john, we could have got jonny williams in on loan to give us someting different behind the strikers, still didnt stop me renewing, just means that we have the best welsh squad for years with no cardiff players in it, loads of us taking city flags to welsh games makes me feel quite sad in a way!!!!! Oh and singing anti english songs when our team included 8 english players last night thats another conversation! Everybody has different reasons, lifestyle commitments, criterias for commiting to their team, we should really stop slagging off our fans that havent renewed or are ocassional visitors to ccs, as for plastics, we are the plastic capital, yet i think so called plastic fans can always get the bug like i did in 1998 when we played torquay!!!
