It looks as if there is a growing number of supporters who are seriously considering not renewing season tickets. If you are 100% committed to trying to get this club to return to it's traditional blue, this may be your last chance, and even now there will be no guarantees. It is important that everyone is doing this for the right reasons, ie. they value the history and heritage of this club, and not simply because performances and results have been disappointing.
Some people will say that season ticket sales only account for a small percentage of Tan's income, and that is true. If supporters are not attending matches, it is not only ticket sales income that will disappear. There are all the extras to take into account as well, things like food and drink, merchandise etc. Will sponsors be so ready to give their cash to a club that is in so much turmoil that half their supporters vanish overnight.
I've not been to watch them for a couple of years, and my Saturdays are nowhere near as much fun without my fix of football. If enough people are serious enough to take the action that is now being discussed, perhaps my self imposed exile may be closer to an end than I thought just a week or so back.
The consolation for me during the last two years is that I believe that the team you are all watching at the minute is Cardiff City in name only. They could be called anything as far as I am concerned, because they are not the Cardiff City I recognise from the time I started supporting them in the days of Jimmy Scoular.
I think it's a shame that someone from the other side of the world has come and bought our club, and destroyed over 100 years of tradition almost overnight. The club might not mean much to Tan, but it means a huge amount to me and many other long standing and loyal supporters. I will attend marches etc. but will never help to line Tan's pockets until he realises this club is nicknamed the Bluebirds for a reason.

Chanting, flag waving, marching not doing any good. Keep doing same things and you keep getting same results. Need something different, but with fan base split not sure what will work best.
