" Vince Alm makes a statement on City fans being Negative "

Fri Dec 12, 2014 9:57 pm

Vince Alm " looking like good news on the new season ticket front! "

Also Vince put out a statement

The club are damned if they do damned if they don't! 90% of supporters I have spoken to have said what a great deal for the Brentford game for season ticket holders who want to bring family and friends to the game at this time of year, also reaching out to past season tickets holders to try and fill the stadium, yet there are supporters who are slagging the club off for trying to do something positive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

These deals are being put together by club staff who care about the cluband have worked there for years. Like us they want to see the stadium full bouncing and are trying to do something about it. This has nothing to do with Tan he is never in the country and it appears all he wants to do is get the club back in the premier league and sell it whether the ground is empty or not.


The football isn't great I know but since slade has taken over he is averaging two points a game which is promotion form despite having a squad short of pace and energy. The players are giving it a go but know when they play against teams like watford, Rotherham, Bournemouth, Brentford who have young energetic teams with pace we have to batten the hatches down and nick a goal if we can.

The players were not prepared for the rigours of the championship and some of the players bought are not suited for this division, we all know a mixture of experience hard working players mixed with young pacey ambitious lower league players with potential and plenty of desire get you out of this division, and so does Slade.

The press built us up at favourites not the fans or the punters pre-season; they look at star names and money spent and assumed we would walk it how many times did that happen with Dave Jones!

negativity breeds Negativity its not pretty and its not good at the moment but for god sake give the team a chance they are trying and not far off the top. Also give the people down the club who care enough to try and make a difference by coming up with ideas to fill the stadium you are whinging about and get behind the team and support them. Tan is nowhere to be seen and I am doubtful we will see him at all this season.

Sorry if I am to positive for you negative brigade but I tired of listening to you moan and moan and moan and moan; and those who are positive frightened of saying anything against they are bullied by the keyboard warriors.

Cmon support the boys you will probably get your wish if we get promoted

'Players giving it a go'?!!
'Batten down the hatches & get a goal if we can'?!!

Against teams like Rotherham?!!

What utter nonsense.

They want the ground full and bouncing ? Hang on a minute they change the Club beyond all recognition. They then destroy the atmosphere and they have deliberately done this making sure the family stand is next to the away fans. Making sure the old A blockers are not sat together. Bullying tactics by the stewards to make sure everyone is sat down. Now they say they want a bouncing CCS !! Bullshit. The Fans has lost its soul and that's down to the Club.
Now on my part I don't care if we are in the Prem the Championship or the 1st division, if it's still the price freeze or a reduction by £200 if we are red next season I will not be there.
Damned if they do damned if they don't sorry but that as well is bullshit. Please don't act dumb as fook you know the reasons why we are pissed off and the boring shitty football ain't one of them or the price of tickets.

How would that work for people who have bought in the last 5 years and not on the original pistol Pete offer?

Totally agree... We have proven international players but we should have 18 yr olds with bags of energy? What a load of bollocks... Batten down the hatches against a team costing 300k to put together? If that's not negativity on negativity I don't what is......

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Fri Dec 12, 2014 11:45 pm

Lets hope they do come up with a good offer on the season tkt front as we will be down to crowds of 10-15k otherwise...

Well said Vince - bit too positive for this forum though

"The players are giving it a go but know when they play against teams like watford, Rotherham, Bournemouth, Brentford who have young energetic teams with pace we have to batten the hatches down and nick a goal if we can"

This is one of the saddest comments I've ever read about a cardiff team in the championship. So we are ok unless the opposition have energy? I thought we had the best squad in the division? And to top it all some on here think vince was being positive :roll:

What a joke

Its Rotherham FFS

:shock:

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Sorry Vince, there is only one option for city fans now and that is the colour BLUE. I am not accepting your positivity, although I will be there come thick or thin, but for the majority of city fans, it's crunch time.

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Top post Vince ,but the normal club bashers will have a good moan at you on this forum they can't help them selfs

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Sat Dec 13, 2014 7:53 am

Well said Vince. I agree 100%. Just about to get up ready for today. Our lot are going to have a brilliant day. For anyone that's going, you will have a laugh when you see us too. Have a great day all that are travelling

I'm all for being positive and like to feel my posts are more reflective of footballing topics. One point from your post though Vince about the energy and fitness, I said a long time ago that Slade was wrong to criticise the squads fitness under Ole and I still stand by that. Ole played at Man Utd when they were wiping the floor with teams in the second half of games, winning loads in the final minutes, so he will know how to get and keep players fit. Slade said he would whip the squad into shape. If that's the case how come we have to cower down when teams have 'more energy'. If that was really the case he's had more than enough time and competitive games for our players to have reached peak fitness by now.

If we're all to remain positive, how about a modicum of that same positivity from the manager and our players. Just to make Saturdays a little more entertaining!

I like the positivity from Vince, but I am with Nukes 100%. :bluescarf:

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Sat Dec 13, 2014 8:26 am

Some major flaws in some of these points, if Tan is nowhere to be see, doesn't care and only wants to sell up asap why doesn't he change the kit back to blue? It's the only way the atmosphere will become positive again and have a chance of promotion and getting his cash back. Sounds like he doesn't plan to come back as he knows he is deeply unpopular due to his lack of respect for tradition.
Tan is only half to blame mind for the stadium atmosphere, he wasn't responsible for what nukes talks about above, the club staff were. Bouncing?? :lol:

I had to miss the Reading game, but couldn't find anyone who wanted a free ticket. If this is anything to go by, we will struggle to attract occasional supporters never mind increase our fan base :bluescarf:

Are they free for next season?

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

The only good news for me on the season ticket front, would be if they gave me a refund on the four I've already got !

Have you asked for a refund then?

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Sat Dec 13, 2014 10:21 pm

the truth is . if they were free , it still wouldnt be a sell out :roll:

Unfortunately it looks as if the club are loosing many fans weekly particularly with the dire football on top of the rebrand. Unless there is a sudden change of direction I think the club will loose a lot of ST holders next season and the crowds will be low.

Re: " looking like good news on the new season ticket front!

Sat Dec 13, 2014 11:26 pm

Well said Vince. The reason I don't go to away games this season is the chants against Tan, and I would most prob get attacked by idiots for wearing my beloved red shirt that my players play in. The moaners here on this site have NOT posted my views anymore, it's not democratic, but bluecratic. I supported the rebrand, I still do. What about the ones that ran on the pitch in their red scarves when we got promoted???? Makes me sick..and who started this "we'll always be blue" thing??

Post this. Give me a voice even if you don't agree with me.
