Season Ticket Boycott

Sun Apr 13, 2025 7:29 am

We need to stop renewing and buying season tickets enough is enough now . The club have made no effort to stay up results have gone our way and with a manager in place a real one and not this con man called Omer Riza I believe we would have pulled away. We will sink to league two with this board in charge and the way they are running the club. The only way to get them out is to stop giving them our money. It will be more powerful than any protest. It will be hard to stop going but I can’t see no other way.

I won’t be giving Tan another penny of my money , and with the obvious looking relegation I don’t think many others will either
Club is a joke corrupt and in free fall

We need to unite and stop giving them our money it’s the only way to get change at the club. What we are going to see is shit anyway we won’t miss it. Put the money towards a sky sports subscription.The disrespect we get from tan and his board they don’t deserve us there. Let’s not give them any more of our money.

I won’t be renewing if Riza is still here or another cheap manager.

I understand a lot will say they support the club not the manager etc, but I go to watch Cardiff for enjoyment. I’ve had enough of wasting money watching them ruin our club.

We all need to make a stand, so they react and start making the right choices for our club. We are a joke.

Agree it’s the only way we can protest really by not renewing or buying season tickets this is the only way to go.

I am torn.

Relegation and promotion is why our sport is the best in the world, its part of football, nobody is too big to go down, nobody too small to be promoted. Clubs get promoted/relegated not players or managers, so it's a reflection of your club. The club is its board; fans don't get a say, nor do managers or the players so this is all on them.

I made my decision not to renew months ago without the reality of relegation, i am just not enjoying the experiance anymore. Tan has chosen his path, and i can't see him changing it. He has enough money to forget about Cardiff City and offset his losses against his Berjaya Corporation profits (I am guessing there).

i'll do 3pm Saturday games, but as one if not the biggest club in L1 we'll have a lot of games moved for Sky. If he changes his tack and get a proper football structure in and just forgets about us, I'll probably renew after my hols in August, all the better if he sells up, but thats not happening soon.

So i won't be in their budgeting plans.

I’ve said before I don’t mind if we go down fighting but the way we are down was avoidable , that was a mess yesterday the players didn’t know where they were supposed to be . It was obvious months ago Riza should have gone. Too late now we need to boycott get our message across that enoughs enough.

Completely agree with this suggestion.
Been saying for ages that Tan and company may take more notice of an empty stadium than a march from Canton to the ground, then filling the stadium as if nothing happened.
Certainly no season ticket for me as I will pick and choose matches depending on previous performances.
However, the usual 'die-hards' will continue to fill Tan's pockets until we fade away!

We need to keep this topic going so that it’s seen , nothing is going to happen at the club until we take action , this will effect Tan way more than a protest , although I’m still up for a protest as well ,this will be my last two tickets to games until there is change.

Finally, people are waking up to the fact that Tan is destroying our club. This has been going on for years, I've not bought a season ticket since I sensed this happening and only attended the odd game. This season I have not been to the ground once as a final protest. People are entitled on their own approach and opinion but for me there is only one approach no matter the consequences. Tan must sell the club to a credible owner.

Be good if this could be a sticky, to see how many will/wont be renewing.

I know 7 of us who renew together every season won’t be, unless things change massively.

You’ve made the right decision this is the only way to go , as many people as possible need to stop supporting Tan and the board it’s unforgivable what they have done to us. We need to stop rewarding there bad management of our club, and stop buying season tickets . Maybe they will wake up .

That’s the way we need more of this , once we get respected and feel like it’s our club again we can come back.

Well said , Mehmet can stop us protesting but he has no power to force us to buy season tickets this is the only power us fans have. We need to hit them where it hurts.

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

Sun Apr 13, 2025 10:14 am

I believe it's a personal choice and not for a mass campaign or boycott.

We don't need any leaders, so they can be painted as bad actors. Just remember what Tan said in 2013 if the customers don't like it, leave, and we'll replace them.

I'll only ever support Cardiff City and Wales, so a spell from the sidelines is on the cards for me for a while. I have done the same before for various circumstances, time, finances or family, so i know I'll still feel involved, especially in today's digital world.

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

People have had 15 years to boycott because of the owner.

They didn't do it when we were red, they didn't do it when we were in the Premier League and they didn't do it when we were doing well in the Championship.

But now it's being suggested for next season, it makes me wonder if it's just a convenient excuse because they don't want to watch League One football.

By the way, a boycott makes absolutely no difference. It won't encourage the owner to sell and you need a huge amount to boycott for it to have a real impact - which is not going to happen.


So no thanks, I'll still support my club (not the owner) next season and will be getting my season ticket.

I don’t mind going down fighting but we are not if your happy with Riza still here that’s your choice as you said he’s taking us to the premier league I find that more funny than people boycotting. If we go down and Tans gone I’m getting a season ticket so it’s not because of league one.

But the point is it will make no difference.

Tan won't sell because a few thousand don't buy a season ticket.

In fact, it just gives him an excuse for the cost cutting he's going to do anyway.

I will support the club through thick and thin. Supported them in the Premier League and I'll support them next season in League One.

Not going to make an empty gesture that would hurt nobody but myself.

I just can’t see anyway to get our point across than this , that was heartbreaking yesterday , I spoke to elderly fans on the way out and they said they’ve seen some bad times but the feeling at the club now is the worst they have seen , 50 odd years a season ticket holder and he said he’s had enough. It’s clear to see Riza isn’t up to it they’ve let this happen.

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

Sun Apr 13, 2025 10:32 am

Im still undecided but I will still do away games in league 1 as I just find no enjoyment at home games at the moment and find myself having to drag myself to the ccs due to how shit the whole match day experience is due to a number of factors, however if the club show some genuine ambition to try and go back up then I'll probably renew my season ticket

There will be renewables next season and it will be around the 8000/10000. That will be enough for this regime to carry on after the cost cutting.

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

I don't agree. CCFC is my club, always will be, even if we're in the National League. Sounds like an easy excuse to boycott because we have a shit football team. I'll be there no matter what.

What we should be doing is protesting against the board and the owner. Regularly.

We have a voice. That won't be heard if we stop turning up.

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

Sun Apr 13, 2025 11:40 am

I 100% being renewing. It my club always has been always will be. As much as I want the board gone I won’t walk out on my club at the time they need my support most. Agree with Worcester probably an excuse for the glory hunting boys to jump ship. But saying that everyone is entitled to they decision if they staying true to themselves.

Great post ,and fair play to you . sadly I’m losing the fight it don’t feel like my club anymore with the current board .I don’t care what league we are in ,obviously gutted to go down as the board haven’t attempted to fix the problem that is Riza. I don’t want to see the Malaysia flag or anything to do with Tan anymore when I go to games it’s a constant reminder that it’s his club and not ours .

Re: Season Ticket Boycott

Mon Apr 14, 2025 10:11 am

Ill be renewing whatever League we are in, who ever owns us and who ever the manager is and players are. It is what it is I am afraid, protesting, booing players and team, burning flags is just not in my nature sorry.

Weve got what we have and are were we are, me not turning up is not going to change that one bit. :bluebird:

I put it as a suggestion it’s desperate times ,as we have no power. I’ve realised now we are powerless and have to let it happen and be quiet. Saturday was fking embarrassing loads of sad stunned faces as I walked home with the odd stoke fans celebrating and a few laughing in my face. Take this topic down please I am defeated.
