Losing fans by the day...

We seem to be losing more and more fans by the day with all these changes. Yes we are gaining thousands of extra fans due to our premier league status, but wer will all these fans be if we get relegated, which is very possible. All the loyal fans over the years who have had a fucfull will not come back, leavin the stadium empty during games. We only have a 3k waiting list compared to spurs 35k so i hope cardiff city dont piss to many people off coz trust me we wont have 3 people on the waiting list if we get relegated

Most people renewed their season tickets and only a handful of people didn't.

oooops

Believe it or not - we have lost 1000,s - these were not ST holders either.

I only got an ST at CCS due to the match day ticket prices (did it again for this season) although i've supported CCFC for 28 years home and away.

Ask people and they will all now at least 5 or 10 who dont bother anymore.

What has replaced them?
I really dunno - they could be future diehards or spineless glory fans????

I really need to think things over - I think this may be the final insult.

I'd rather pay my money for something I enjoy, where I feel wanted and included -
i need to think things over - im fed up to fuk.

good post. lets hope this tan era, dont come and bite the club on the ass

I just dont want to see any more loyal (die hard) fans leave, like you said thousands already have and thousands may follow, i just fear for cardiff if things go tits up and these plastics go bac to supporting liverpool, manu etc and wer left with an empty stadium

Yep

I know a few who have stopped.

I also know a few who dont go as much

I also know a few who have started going to County and Wrexham games.

So this poster's thread has some substance.

Well if they weren't ST holder or regulars they weren't that bothered in the first place.

I cant say id go watch newport or wrexham if i didnt watch cardiff anymore, id just knock going to games on the head and just watch games on tv.

I disagree on the loyalty of an ST holder versus loyal fans who just didn't
Do STs.
Through my 20s and 30s I never really thought about getting a ST.
We'd have a core of about 20 of us. Some would get home from working away on a friday -wed just walk up and go in (Now its 3) we spend loads going up and down the country watchin the mighty bluebirds
To be honest - I've missed more home games as an ST than when I didn't have one!

Now we have no walk up and most STs do it as its cheaper -not because they are more loyal

I just dont want to see any more loyal (die hard) fans leave, like you said thousands already have and thousands may follow, i just fear for cardiff if things go tits up and these plastics go bac to supporting liverpool, manu etc and wer left with an empty stadium

should we go down. how many people will want season tickets, we got a queue now for 3500?

But they can't be LOYAL fans (a loyalist is a person who is loyal especially when others revolt) if they have deserted the club. I agree that traditionalists or DIEHARDS (a very conservative or stubborn person) may have decided a change of colour was simply too much to stomach and they have walked away from the club but i think to suggest these people have left in their thousands is exaggerating things just a touch. You also can't possibly suggest that all new fans City will attract from playing Premiership football will be plastic. Many will get the bug and fall in love with the club as you and I once did and yes there may well be some plastic fans who will desert the club if things go tits up but I am confident that the number of new fans retained would more than compensate for the fans lost

i think fans will find better things to spend there money on, i know a lot of fans will be wanking over watching the manures, chelseas, liverpools , but when the 1 season wonders have gone, will the real city fans come back?

Very possible and equally likely whether we were wearing red or blue. What we are talking about here though is how many fans have truly stopped going to watch Cardiff City (possibly a couple of hundred if that) against how many will have caught the bug and continue to watch no matter what. The poster is simply exaggerating the likely effect that the horrible dark red shorts will have on our club

Exactly right fans will still buy the new kit in their 1000's

I think you will find that it will take a bit more than an awful kit design to turn significant numbers away. Premiership or not, success is a desire the majority of us share and a change of shirt colour and badge is something the majority of us have accepted. I can indeed imagine small crowds at Ninian buying into Tan's dream just as they bought into Sam's dream (remember the change of badge).
