CARDIFF CITY Going to lose a lot of fans

Wed Feb 19, 2014 6:34 pm

In the premier seating my seat has gone up £500 they have got to be joking, Me and three mates have cancelled and today bought season tickets in the new upper tier ninian stand and they are £370 cheaper than what we paid this season., many more not renewing 30% increase no thanks.

And the finance option is not guaranteed which I feel will also stop a lot of fans obtaining a season ticket

Attendances are going to be dreadful next season, although we're still in with a chance, the club will never ever be able to regroup from this, the Jacks will have bigger attendances than us for years, we will have to hope they dwindle too and get relegated soon as they will snap up the younger generation of fans. We are royally fucked

Not only have they gone up 30%, they have cancelled all our long standing contracts and put everyone on 1 year rolling contracts. Don't understand how they can do it but they have. I can see court action looming .

It's the only way I can see it, our prices are gonna be expensive in a lower league, fans will pay a high price to see the elite, we need to be successful next season to keep some of our fans on board, we can't accept anything less. This would be the same in blue although it's harder for people to renew when we're in red.(I am not entirely bothered by the re-brand) but it's hard for us to gain some fans without success. We are losing long term fans and losing potential fans with the price in play and the way things are being portrayed at the club

Long standing contracs were cancelled two years ago, but everyone was given the oportunity to stay on the 5 year contract till it ran out, nearly everyrone decided to go on the rolling contract with a drop in price of £200 little did we know Julian Jenkings told us don't worry we would be stupid to put it up again :laughing6:

Premier club contracts weren't worth the paper they were written on

The club reneged on every aspect of what was originally (contractually) offered at the beginning and the club have changed terms and conditions almost every year.

The atmosphere is poor, the bar areas are packed due to lay out with hardly any seating. You can only get to sit down if you get in the ground almost 2 hours before kick off to get a seat . The beer, wines and spirits are overpriced - not to mention the food.

Oh yes and don't try and enjoy yourself with singing and cheering either , that's frowned upon although Gary Bells jokes have been one of the only high points ...and the odd free programme .. That's if they haven't run out by the time you get there!

£1299 or £1199 for championship football next year - I don't think so :wave:
