Cutbacks for the good of the club

Cardiff City will limit the number of stands that are open for the League cup game against Bournemouth. As well as the Canton Stand it has now been decided the upper tier of the Ninian Stand will not be open to supporters.

Vincent Tan has decided to cost cutting exercises and a meeting to discuss options involved not opening parts of the ground for cup games with expected low crowds.

Less stewarding equals less costs.

The hope is that as well as cost saving, it will help with the atmosphere that fans are congregated in one area and not dispersed around different parts of the stadium.

Various cutbacks behind the scenes are also taking place. The match will also be a police free game.

Ticket sales for the match against the Cherries have been slow to date.

Makes sense.

He's looking to cut costs and losses, but he's losing money due to the rebrand..?

Makes sense.

Very True Ned,but I also totally agree with Cal

somebody always has to get the rebrand issue in
At least the club are trying to save money and not just spend money we didn't have. Hmm.

Makes complete sense to me as 3rd round games in previous season, like 2011/12 when we made the final, attract around 8,000 so keeping matchday costs as low as possible is good business practice.

You have to laugh at the suggestion that VT is making these decisions though, it's not like there is a management structure in place to deal with this sort of stuff.

Sorry mate, but just stating a point that the club is losing money on the rebrand!

Everything has to have a Tan 'decided' lately?

What the bloody hell have we got senior staff and board members for, these should be proactive decisions by them!

I'll guess that it feels better for them not have fans abuse them for decision making but it is common sense to have only a few parts of the ground open given the game and expected crowd.

Don't close the stands, get rid of the CEO and other large costs if Tan makes the decisions, then we can have a normal ground open!!

So where will those who usually go in the Canton go for this game? Don't really want to be sat down all game

Pub, it's cheaper and there's Champions legaue football on - where else?

Makes sense to me

Annis as you know Ive spoken to the club before about using agency staff across the board as it would save thousands but then certain people left the club and nothing come of it. Things like this should have been done years ago

If Vinny T is making these sort of decisions, he should cut further costs by making the stadium managers position redundant.....

no cutbacks on the season ticket prices though

penny wise, pound foolish.

Then you would make the 1000s

would be a drop in the ocean compared to what we found their savings would be

Seems petty when he cant even keep an eye on his outgoings i.e transfers last season but makes sense

You have Adam and I agree,But I suppose as the saying goes, better late than never

Thats the thing yes cut back close stands when needed thats common sence to most people but lets over spend millions on transfers that he didnt know about untill he added it up tan goes from one end of the extreme to the other with storys in the media over time

It would only be lumped on in a loan by tan anyway brownie

It was just before Tan got really involved. TG/Ridsdale and Alan Whitely were at the club at the time. During the Blackpool playoff season

When will that dopey tw*t Tan get it into his stubborn head that the way to enhance the atmosphere in the ground'is to go back to our proper colour BLUE.And get rid of that crap beer mat badge.Then maybe the club might make a few bob on shirt sales.

And losing a lot of money on shirt sales due to the REBRAND.Tan cant have the penny and the bun.The club is losing money because of it.
