' CARDIFF CITY ARE NOW GETTING FED UP '

Cardiff fans planned months ago for the pre-season tour of Holland, many paid and it was to late to cancel
City are playing tonight and fans can attend after finally getting an opponent

But City's game on Friday was the big one, and the game was put behind closed doors with a limited number of City fans being able to attend, But now that has been changed once again to another location, but this time No one is allowed to know, you just could not make it up.

City fans who are over there are not amused and have contacted Ken Choo, who has said they can attend one training session to be announced.

I am so pleased I have not gone, in the past I would not have missed this, I just feel sorry for those that have travelled.

MAYBE NEXT SEASON CITY WILL BE MORE ORGANISED & PROFFESIONAL, PLUS THINK OF OUR FABS FIRST :ayatollah:

Hope we can identify the location and pending travel distance, turn up.

We would be better off inside watching than outside kicking up a (verbal) protest.

Afraid the people in charge may be successful businessmen but they seem to struggle with running a football club. They also do not seem to realise that quality customer service is important in this part of the world. The club appears not to value it's fans, and have done nothing to make me think that we have much to look forward to this season. Between what is happening on their current tour, and the calling off of a friendly due to lack of fit players, we are looking more like a local league outfit rather than a Championship team. Just does'nt inspire me with confidence at the moment.

Silly mistakes like this seem to be happening to much from our club. We have done things right all summer with the kit, season ticket sales and being sensible with player arrivals and departures and then we do this. Sort it out city! :sladein:

Me and the Mrs were also keen to go but pulled out once we realised that all wasn't going ahead as planned.

I said on a post ages ago that the initial planning was amateurish at best. At the time I was slated by another poster for wanting to know what was happening.

Just another sign for me that this season will be a struggle again.

I'm desperately hoping that we at least get away from the crap football we saw last season.

We're not the only club to have experienced pre-season problems.

Prob not, but ours have been nearly every season now for years.

We were better organised in the Ninian Park days, 2 Scottish tours,2 Irish tours,Sweden,Denmark,Algarve, all successful pre-season tours,I attended them all and so did hundreds of happy City fans :thumbright: :ayatollah:

They were organised professionally and fans kept updated in them days :ayatollah:

The pre-season tour to the Algarve a few seasons back went down well. I don't understand why they didn't just do that again? Strange.

I don't know any details but it's possible that the police are the ones making it awkward

Holland is always an awkward one, its not the police there that have the power but the local Mayor, I know we (Swansea) had a game called off almost at the last minute because of the Mayor who saw the fixture for potential trouble, luckily at the time, we rearranged with Sparta Rottedam.

We also had trouble this year in America where the promoter promised the world but couldn't deliver.

Where does it say Cardiff fans are fed up ?
I thought we were great once the kit was announced and all that ?
One mistake from a pre season tour and bam can't wait to slate the club ..
Don't get me wrong id be abit annoyed if I went but I don't go .. Don't see the point . Fair enough if I was on holiday and they happened to be there .
Love how some says it going to be a struggle because of a mistake at pre season . Laughable to say the least
We ain't only club I'm sure who has problems on tour
Get on with it

If you were a City fan and had organised a coach etc and fans had paid a lot of money to go,would you not be fed up?

Because I've spoken to the organisers of groups over there and they certainly are fed up of what's happened regarding the pre-season tour.

They should organise proper preseason tour what's wrong with going to scotland or Ireland then the fans can organise decent trips even spain
