Carl, always good to read your updates and encouraging to get the impression that the club continues to become more and more professional off the pitch. Good to see.

One thing that really irkes me though is the televisions in the concourse.

Are we the only club which cannot / does not show Sky Sports News at half time so that we can see the HT's around the country. Most will have done a football bet and then can't see the HT's. Tell someone in authority, I really don't care that Ceri is 7 today......leave that for the telly's in the Family Stand if they want.

Why is this a problem?

I would have thought this is something the trust could take up along with the scandelous prices we supporters are being asked to pay at the bars around the stadium. They have been toothless up to now perhaps this is something they can get their teeth into ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Ah yes, let's show football scores to aid the overwhelming majority putting bets on.

Let's ignore things that actually generate revenue for the club, like greetings, advertisements, promoting club facilities such as CC Player.

Nerd....aptly named.

It's about the football experience. Some may want to know the scores for bets, some may want to know how Rochdale are getting on coz they were born there, some may have Brentford as their second team, some...........

The kids birthday greetings can be played in the family stand and are indeed shown on our screen in the ground.

Once upon a time (TO GENERATE MORE INCOME), the club advertised 'why not watch the lunchtime KO matches on our new tellys in the concourse)....now they can't be arsed to turn the fecking half times on!

Agree with the first post - who gives a f**k about cardiff city world subscriptions / cc player. Load of shit. Vast majority want scores from around the grounds.

Personal abuse. How quaint. Always the sign of a winning argument, sunshine.

So, you restrict say birthday greetings to kids only sat in the Family Stand. Yup, that'll work on addressing our debts.

If the club want to run advertising, greetings, all of which generate money for the club, that's the club's perogative to do so. Demanding half time scores be shown because you're plastic enough to also support Brentford or you've put a bet on raise precisely zero for the club.
