Renew?

So many views about this when the answer is very simple.

If you are a supporter of Cardiff City football club, you renew.
If you can think of a reason not to, and want to think of a reason not to, you can think of a reason not to.

If you were really worried about the Rebrand, you would not have renewed last year. Or the year before. If you want to join the moral majority (I think there are three of them) who spout on interminably in their own way about the "history and culture" of the club, which never existed apart from, of course, the history, then you are somewhat belated.

The fact is we have a useless manager and we are cutting cloth. This season has been utterly depressing in a football sense. Slade is a hoofball man.

However, those of us who are real fans (I have to include myself in this) have seen so much garbage over the many years that we know that supporting is just what it says. We just support Cardiff City, come what may. Not a single one of us has had any discernible effect on the people who run our club. Ever. This age of entitlement does not work in football. Why some who lived with this for years now seem to make a moral argument for not going is beyond me.

Neither, for we real fans, is it an option not to go. However, season tickets for thousands of fans are a relatively recent concept. Not long ago 10,000 at Ninian was a big crowd. So not having a season ticket in a massive stadium which isn't going to be full is not such a big issue. Buying a season ticket is simply a financial consideration.
Unless. Of course, you have one in a seat you like and are a real fan.

Because we are a club which is quite capable of making another charge for the Premier League at some point in the near future. Capital City, super stadium, decent recent history which shows we can get there for goodness sake, things could change here in a whipstitch.

So I will be renewing. I think it would be short-sighted not to do so. (Anyway, I'll always do it!)
