Premier Lounge?

Sat Apr 23, 2022 2:36 pm

I’ve had a season ticket for years now, but been thinking about trying the Premier Lounge next season.
Can anyone share their experiences of it please?

Is that the small second tier in the grandstand? I’ve been to that one a few times but not the posh seats at the back of the bottom tier.

I have been in the Rioch level 3 for a number of years, great view and comfort especially in the cold Winter days. I would say however the atmosphere is lacking. Most don’t shout and you feel it is library, and they would like you to just watch. I notice the difference when I go to away games when the atmosphere is much better. I would go to level 4 but my wife finds the height too much for her. Tried the Captains lounge last week. Great atmosphere and good to listen to Gary Bell with a meal. Seats down by the players seats. Fine as long as it does not rain! I was surprised how quiet the Manager and staff were, compared to the Luton camp. Also saw some of the players on their phones. I would like more intensity on our bench, next season.

Disappointed but sadly not surprised to read about the players on their phones

Shows where their priorities lie though; and that reflects on the whole club when people refer to 'those [Cardiff City] players' rather than individuals

Chris unfortunately its modern society and that includes players ..... you see it at every game on tv players interested only in their fones not what's happening on pitch? As for morison he is nearly always in conflict with someone today it was s member of their staff..a bouncer had to keep walking up and down to stop an altercation and it's not 1st time with morison.. but he doesnt appear to show same aggression/passion towards players when they're performing badly....

He may or may not show aggression as you say, but I don't recall any other City manager hooking players first half or half time as much as he does, because they haven't followed his instructions.

Unfortunately us fans don't see what happens in changing rooms but we do see the touchline.... and that's what we're referring too.
