Really?


How convenient your capacity is though. No doubt you think that you only get less than Man Utd as they have a bigger stadium :roll:


Well there are two sentences that take some beating on the ridiculous scale fair play.

We've sold out every single home game since reaching this level. That is far from convenient.

How can you brag about selling out under 20,000? It ent hard. We pull 20,000 and we are in a lower league than you. Says a lot.

Convenient for your boasts though as it can't be proved otherwise. You may as well say you would get crowds of 100,000 - if only you had the seats. Once the novelty wears off your poxy ground will prove more than adequate.

TBH I thought Barnet's report was very credible. Are you saying you have evidence to disprove it?

Or perhaps you lot should come up with some sort of credible argument.

Although that appears unlikely.

Re: Swansea fan (mate of mine) never going to watch them aga

A credible retort is only worthy of a credible initial post, however -

The evidence has already been posted.

In order to get a ticket to watch Swansea vs anyone you must either be a season ticket holder or have accrued enough points by going to see the majority of the swans games in order to get the 10% released by FA regulations. In order to get a season ticket however you also have to go through the point scheme with the highest points getting first choice and so on... It really isn't difficult to understand.

I am going to reach out to my own network via G chat, some of whom are sadly jacks, to see what they have to report about the plastics infiltrating their own ranks.

I will let you all know.

Sounds like heresay to me jack, what's to stop the plastics doing that?

And your argument is what? You haven't got one as its just conjecture.

Re: Swansea fan (mate of mine) never going to watch them aga

One of my jack friend's confirmed Barnet's credible report, but said he didn't mind the plastics paying to attend too much because of the jacks' current financial predicament.

Heresay? It's how most premier league teams sell their tickets. Their website also confirms this. Try to buy a ticket for their next match, post the confirmation on here and I will refund you plus buy you a Cardiff jersey, it's impossible.

What's to stop them doing what? Getting season tickets? The point scheme obviously.

That means they would have had to have been following them nearly every game anyway, which by definition doesn't make them a plastic.

This is the most ridiculous wind up thread created on here in a while. It's like saying everyone in England is actually Scottish, it's clearly not true :lol:

I agree that it is puzzling jack, but the plastics are typically very diligent so will think nothing of buying a season ticket just to see one match featuring the team they love.

Barnet's report merely proves something I've long suspected.

They wouldn't have enough points to buy a season ticket, is the case in point.

The points scheme does not seem very vigorous to me jack. How is it enforced?

so when you went from 8,000 to 16,000 was this points system in place then?

All explained online. If you want a ticket then you need the points simple as that.

Like I said, hardly vigorous and easy to infiltrate for the committed plastic.

It is a credible argument. We beat your attendances, despite being in the league below you & despite a controversial rebranding scheme which has alienated fans.

We have more ST holders than you and have consistently had bigger attendances than you(except one season when you had a new stadium) , especially when in the same division.

Do I really need to point out, that in the SAME division, during YOUR promotion season, CCFC had 8,000 average more fans than you?

Infact, some games you only got 11k... You only ever sold out one game a season (guess who that was :lol:) & yet you say your support isn't plastic?
