I should imagine you can see the goal, might not see the corner flag though.... this a major engineering fÜ$K up... The stand should be at least as long as the pitch

It could be to allow for the further expansion around the Ninian and grange if it is ever needed. The club are only guilty of looking forward however optimistic that may be.

The chances the seats would be mostly red have been apparent for some time and it was always going to be another contentious issue with our club. Don't agree with some posts on this thread about people endorsing the re brand by what colour seat their in but understand the frustration that with the upturn in protests last year there's yet more red for this season. Badge and colour for me are the most important, the seats are of less aggravation to me buts that just personal opinion

Oh here we go again.

The pitch is longer than it actually needs to be. The goal line is NOT where the pitch ends. As I have explained previously, there is no restricted view seats. The goal line will be in line with the end of the stands, therfore no probs, simples.

Other than the red seats, it looks great, but the red seats totally ruin it for me. At least they can easily be changed so it's not exactly 'permanent'.

Noticed they're adding the seats back in the bottom tier, looks better now that the 'F' isn't half cut off.

That stand will look awesome full of Cardiff fans decked out in blue.

Only about 10% of the stand has been sold for next season though, so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Don't have to support Cardiff do you ?


I might stop going to home games. Going to away games, it still feels we are all supporting our club, dressed in blue, singing blue songs, the fans passionately uniting together as one. Home games in contrast feels like supporting a completely different club with completely different fans who I struggle to connect with. I have no respect for any fan sitting in that new stand as they are endorsing Tan's red seats and are willingly allowing the tradition and identity of our football club to die.

So because fans want a better view in a new stand, they're endorsing the rebrand? Not really, they're just paying for a ticket like the rest of us


Rubbish. There's not a bad view in the CCS, so any fan choosing to sit in a red seat instead of the tens of thousands of blue seats giving perfectly good enough views are endorsing the rebrand; and I will not respect these fans.


Tonteg, thats the most ridiculous post ive ever read, you think you are a better fan for paying VT for your blue seat than Joe Bloggs for his red one.......im speechless


Red seat, red scarf, red shirt, red anything. Fans associating theirselves with red inside the CCS are showing their support for Tan's rebrand. For you to think otherwise is absolutely baffling.



If a Cardiff City fan chooses to pay a little extra of his or her hard earned money to get a better view of the team they love then so be it, it doesnt mean that they are 'PRO RED' or anything else for that matter, this is what you've got to get over, its an individual choice, and a choice you should not judge people on.


I disagree 100%. We will be red forever with fans like yourself accepting Tan's red rebrand. It doesn't surprise me mind and this is why I'm seriously considering giving up the home games. This is my final season of the price freeze and then I will have to seriously consider what to do the following season.


if you are at a game then you are endorsing tans rebrand end of.

seriously, we don't need fans in the stands having a go at other fans for where they sit or what they wear, city fans no matter what their stance on the rebrand should be united once we get through those turnstiles. so i'd even consider stopping going to home games this season. if you could then that'd be just great cheers

the plans for extending the canton and grange do not include the corners.......so that is not the reason.....if true that super cup tickets are being sold there with restricted view is a class A f**k up.........

Have you read the previous posts? There are no restricted views. The goal line is in line with the end of the stand. The people who harp on about the pitch sight lines are clearly being distracted by the length of the pitch, and not the actual playing surface. Ive been down there in the flesh, the seats on the end of the new stands will have restricted views.....of the other stands, not the action.

Wrong. I go to games to endorse Cardiff City Football Club. I wear blue at games to protest against Tan's rebrand.

Who the hell do you think you are telling me to stop going to games? That's typical of fans like you, every plastic has the "if you don't like the red, support another club in blue" attitude and that comment alone shows you plastics will never know how it feels being a proper football supporter.

Honestly, if that's your attitude, I would consider keeping your red loving propaganda away from our blue club.

f**k off sonny! i hate the red. but i choose to go to games and i'd never have a go at another city fan for what they wear or where they sit or what they do.

It doesn't come across you hate the red with your posts. But for the record, during the games I support the team, wear blue, sing blue songs and sing Cardiff City songs. Outside of the game, I will give my opinion on the reds killing our club, including give my opinion on this forum.

all very well and good but if i were tan and i saw fans attacking each other instead of uniting to attack him i'd be pissing myself and thinking "this divide and conquer shit is way easier than i expected!"
