Theyve got these pr!cks on camera why arent they paying.
Totally, totally, wrong !!!!!!
Punishing the innocent, not the guilty.
Terrible PR from the club
How the **** does that make sense? So I need to pay and extra £1 because some coked up dork can’t be trusted to go to a football match without smashing up the bogs.
At a time when costs are rising and wages are stagnating this seems a bit of a PR blunder.
Stick your hand in your pocket Vinny you tight prick.
So you shouldnt pay an extra quid because you wasn't involved but Vinny has to pay for it all?Originally Posted by Croesy Blue
Was Tan one of those in the toilets wearing an hoodie?
For the record i think it's wrong the fans have to pay a quid for something they didn't do
Wayne Nash's idea?
The statement says the decision to put a £1 supplement on away tickets to cover the compensation costs was done after consultation with 'Cardiff City Supporter Bodies'.
Which supporter bodies? What sort of consultation (on the specific £1 supplement proposal)?
It does look like a bad call.
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.
Weird decision. We really must be skint.
The club is owned by a billionaire (and just sold a striker for at least £3 million) and hasn’t been worth watching for about 3 years so their answer to this is to charge the die hard supporters who already have to put up with shit football more money for something that had nothing to do with them.
The club really are a PR disaster.
Same principle of if you have a few naughty kids, you keep the whole class in for detention perhaps?
Trying to get the fans to self-police themselves?
At our lowest ebb, in nearly 20 years, when we need fans, players and staff at the CCS, pulling together, to try to save the club from relegation, someone comes up with this beauty
UNBELIEVABLE !!!!
Any reps from the supportes bodies who have allegedly agreed this on this site. ?I find this hard to believe.
If there are any, they won't own up now!
Tell the club to shove the tickets.
That was my first thought. Used to work a treat in the army.
Then again it's Choo and Dalman, so maybe we're giving them too much credit.
What's the point of having supporters grops etc if they are going to agree to things on behalf of an entire fan base without even asking the question to the wider fans? If of course, they have indeed consulted any supporter group reps.
Just about to say similar
No one is trying to stop chavs smashing stuff up because of an extra quid though.
Like booking fees, admin fees, no more city cash it's just another very small and minor thing that all adds up to wind up the non toilet smashing element of our fan base.
How does insurance work in stadiums, I'd have though criminal damage would be covered?
Also you'd want to see the exact numbers, as it says it'll start with Millwall. I'd also ask for an independent audit, don't want Bristol getting in Martyn Lawrence Bullard for the refit!

That's pretty piss poor from the club tbh.
Not sure how much the repairs will cost, but this will raise around £10k-£15k between now and the end of the season, and will come from the pockets of our most loyal fans, not the brain dead imbeciles who managed to get hold of a ticket through a mate for Ashton Gate.
What will happen if there's a repeat at Anfield on Sunday? Another £1 on top?
Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Somehow I don't think even a fiver would stop them .
I hope the supporters groups respond to this.
Really poor. The booking system is already a rip off with a group booking of 6 tickets costing £6 instead of £1. Now it would cost £12 for the foreseeable.
Just don’t get how this will solve anything bar asking the fans who did nothing and had to put up with toilets being shut at Bristol to fork up. About 500 will go to Huddersfield in a few weeks on a Tuesday evening and they’ll have to pay extra for the privilege because a few idiots did that, stupid logic.
