It was incredibly busy down there but it was really well organised and it was good to be able to go into dressing rooms and tunnel area. My only complaint is 50 quid for a top for my 14 year old.

I feel yesterdays event was a total rip off.
As a season ticket holder for approx 20 years, I was told that a shirt had to be purchased, before you was able to have a photo with the Premier Keague trophy, this was a terrible PR decision, surly all fans should have been able to see the trophy, irrispective of purchasing a shirt or not. Seems to me it was just a way of selling new shirts & not looking after the true loyal fans.

I can’t see your point at all here, why would you go to the kit launch not to buy the new kit? I think it was a great PR decision by the club. And a great way of bringing revenue into the club and rewarding the people who are putting their hard earned cash into the club. I know you’ve bought a season ticket but it was a kit launch yesterday not a ST launch.

And I don't see your point
Yes it was a new kit launch
Maybe some just wanted to see the new kit
Surely you can go to a launch without having to make a purchase
I'm with bluebird-in- jack land on this one

I didn’t say you couldn’t go there without buying it. I said that if they say you get rewarded for buying it then that’s fine, you can’t knock the club for trying to reward people who are buying the kit on the kit launch day.

Regarding the price of the shirt, I’m happy with the price, the club needs to make money, if people don’t like the price simple don’t buy the top, but personally I think it’s worth every penny, might not get another chance to own a Cardiff City Prem league top after this season.

City Approximately took 60k in one day at the shop, don’t know what they did online but either way, that’s great going.

The fans and the club are finally coming back together and fair play to Adidas they’ve came up with the nicest looking Cardiff tops in many years.

Ordered a keepers top for my sons birthday at 9am on the dot yesterday with name and badges, just had an email from the club saying an "error" from the supplier of premier league badges so can't fulfill the order for two weeks! Surely they ordered enough premier league badges in advance !!!! Sorry sunshine looks as though you'll have nothing to open.

Im not moaning about the kit launch, of course thats a good idea, my point is why should anyone have to purchase a new shirt to view the Premier League Trophy.
Think back to the champions league final in Cardiff last year, anyone could view & have photo with trophy in Cardiff Bay, the Premier League tropy should have been open to all for photos, not just for people buying shirts

They could have charged a nominal fee for photos without making a purchase. The top is nice but the cost goes up every year - and it is every year. In years gone by it was every couple of years but shirt prices are going through the roof before you add in shorts and socks for the kids.

Common sense would see it cater for everybody. :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Where demand continued to be high regardless of cost increases, there’s no way that there’d be a price freeze. I don’t like it but it’s business I suppose.

£49.95 - RIP OFF for a piece of Polyester made in Indonesia by people who are paid peanuts to produce them. Adidas are taking the Piss.
