Fair play to the club I say......still can't believe that no one knew any of them or seen anything on the day. Club should put the CCTV footage on Cardiff TV for everyone to see and maybe recognize a few of them.

Shouldn’t be up to fans to self-police drunken idiots. That’s what the police and stewards are paid for.
This is collective punishment - punishing everyone for the criminal actions of a few. The club is wrong to do this..
Spot on. Why aren't my grandkids allowed to take a bottle of pop to games - because a few idiots thought is was fun to throw bottles onto the pitch i.e. we are all punished for the antics of a few. I suggested in another thread that it would be a good gesture if supporters voluntarily send a few quid to the club towards the cost of the vandalism but, let's say, there was less than an enthusiastic response! I believe this would have preempted any moves by the club such as we now see.
This is a rubbish take. It shouldn’t be on fans too self police a bunch of fans intent on causing criminal damage. Where do you draw the line? Fans on a train? Fans kicking off in a town centre?
The club should employ plain clothed stewards to alert police etc if they are concerned. A plain clothed steward (or even one in full gear) would have been able to stop that just by being there. Instead they were all stood outside having a chat. It’s not their fault, they’re told what to do - but it’s common sense to spread them around rather than have them outside chatting to fans who are coming in.
What?
Are you seriously suggesting that the alternative option to the club levying a £1 away ticket surcharge is a total ban on Cardiff away fans by the EFL or other Championship clubs?
That Cardiff City imposing collective punishment on its own away fans will deter rivals and the EFL from taking more drastic action?
These are not two sides of an either/or equation!
If fans are having to pay for this damage then aren't they entitled to see how much the work will cost? Isn't that only fair? I'm sure that the club could provide a 'supporters rep' with a breakdown of the costs. This is piss poor from the club, ican't believe that they sat around a table and agreed to this, and will this be the norm with other incidents?
If the people in charge have agreed to this extra charge no wonder we can’t make a decent footballing decision. I don’t think even the smallest business would make such a stupid PR move.
No surprise to see DML supporting this. The club could chop his cock off and he’d find a way to justify it.
The consultation was the Supporters Trust and the Supporters Club were sent an embargoed press release which was a statement of intent as to what the club intended to do. In effect they were being asked to comment on a fait accompli. No-one from the club rang in advance to say that this is what we are thinking of doing, what do you think ? The club are obviously determined to recover their outlay and it is likely to be the innocent footing the bill with families who travel being hit the hardest.
its a quid, what's that, 1/2 a line of Charlie ? ? ?

Barnsley FC also put up a statement today condemning anti-social behaviour - this time from their fans at Oakwell during and after their last match against Bournemouth:

Trust statement on club statement and decision to charge a £1 supplement on away tickets:

From what Enoch said above, neither the Trust nor the Supporters Club were really consulted on the decision - just given an opportunity to comment on an advance draft of the press statement.
