All getting a bit cringeworthy now

All getting a bit cringeworthy now

Have to agree.

I'm happy they are really trying to make an effort for us, even if it is out of sheer desperation for the damage they have caused.

Honestly though, who's guna stand in the ground and pay £3.50 a pint for 2.5 hours before the game when there are pubs in canton?

Try £4.00 a pint

Haha really!?... I very rarely drink the piss they serve up there to be fair I save it for the pub!

Yeah, it's just all a big effort out of pure desperation. They've fucked shit up royally

It's no good opening the bar s early unless the prices come down 2.50 a pint is decent enough if they could do it

Correct Wez

The usual 15 plus of us will be staying in the Sand Martin as usual, cheaper drink,better food and 100% more comfort and relaxing.
I will be arriving at 245pm as usual

City can't believe that the fans will rush back with this statement.

We are acting like a franchise club and would not be out of place in America,we want football stadium with an atmosphere

Nash and stewards to treat fans better that would be a start

I thought you could only drink in the Sand Martin if you also bought a meal ? If that's the case that's a hell of an expensive pint or two

The club was criticised for getting in this mess, quite rightly. Let's not dismiss these attempts to rectify the problem they now admit they created, arguably this is just as important to get right as the kit colour

I think you have actually raised a very important point in your post,perhaps without realising it.

The club, and in particular it's owner, have NEVER admitted they got it wrong.

Where in any club statement have you seen acknowledgement that they got the rebrand,which has alienated so many fans and contributed to the current financial crisis of greatly reduced attendances, badly wrong and apologised for it? I cannot recall seeing anywhere the owner or one of the directors saying something along the lines of " sorry,we got that badly wrong,we have learned from our mistakes which won't be repeated , now will the fans work with us to help repair the damage we have caused as quickly as possible"

It is all very well and good ( and to be applauded) that efforts are now being made to treat fans with a bit of respect rather than contempt,but where is the apology? I have made this point before but if someone who has been giving you a good kicking without any reason for a long time then stops, you are hardly likely to regard him as a mate for ages, if ever. Particularly when that person won't even admit what he did was wrong or apologise.

Correct, £1.80 in the Ivor Davies or strongbow or lager or beer in the Corporation for £2.04 and live football on the TVs.

Only takes one match to burn a1000 trees.

Exactly, in a nice warm pub with seats and a good atmosphere.

The only way the club will get people to the ground early is if they build a supporters bar inside the ground (like alot of clubs do, Brighton included because I snuck in last time) and offer reasonable pints and a decent bar.

The only one thing that will bring them back is Promotion.
In the meantime we have a opportunity to build our fan base for the future by targeting schools with free tickets.

All I can say is it's going to be very very interesting how it all goes.

Cardiff City's designer??? NO THANKS
The same clueless experts who gave us the beer mat badge and then a worm instead of a dragon.

Chinese cheap and tacky comes to mind where they are concerned.

I always assumed Barrie was the one who came up with the badge... the new one at least anyway? Left the club now.

None of this will ever happen.

The real healing of all this is for Tan to go.
