I was going to ask whether or not and how many need to be kept back. A mate suggested because of the increased away allocation needed for cup games, the difference between default 3k away allocation for league games and that of increased cup allocation (estimated 4.5k) has to be kept back in order to ensure each season ticket holder can acquire a cup game ticket, whether in own seat or relocated.

That's odd as last time I didn't seem to have any problem getting tickets for friends who weren't even members! Ok so they may not have done the big matches but I remember them Coming to the Liverpool home match. I think if you buy tickets early on you should be fine as in within 3 days of going on sale. We have even more capacity now in the ground so you'd think it would be easier his time.
Don’t forget about about fan segregation,it amazes me how many seats we lose, reinforced perplex sheeting between rival fans would enable us to get a full stadium .
Last time we were up im sure some matches had just a row or 2 between Home and away fans.
Any idea when they’re sending the tickets out?
Good question above about selling tickets back to the club in advance so they can sell them on. Didn’t we do this last time?
Strange that a few weeks ago there were 10 pagers discussing attendances with different people blaming the rebrand and style of football etc for us ‘only’ averaging 20k last season.
Now it’s only june and fans of 50 years are worried they won’t be able to get in the ground at all!
So has Cardiff and it's surrounding areas suddenly become a hot bed of football in the last few weeks or are we experiencing what is to be expected, based on previous experience. from this part of the world when it comes to support levels for the local football club?
The latter, as was always the case. From a financial point of view, being in the PL can only help ease debt and cash flow for years to come. From an interest point of view, I'd prefer the Championship. Much more interested in playing the Jacks, Bristol City, Reading, Leeds, Villa, Baggies, Stoke, Forest home and away.
I think a lot of it is “new fans” but I also think the people who maybe pick and choose their games want to go to a lot more when we are in the premier league.
It’s the same for most clubs, I don’t know why people get quite so annoyed about it.
I imagine it’s because he’s mostly interested in Cardiff city and us having a chance of winning more games interests him more. Hardly difficult to understand why some people might prefer that.
Gave up our season tickets about 7 years ago as my son was playing football every Saturday and I needed the cash when my daughter got married, so we missed the Prem 1st time around but we’ve decided to get season tickets again this season. We were in the family stand but will now be top of the Ninian upper tier. Really looking forward to the climb.
Apart from Everton (daughter's other half is an ST holder) the other PL teams hold little interest. I'll go and watch the 'big' teams (and all the other PL teams) but could honestly take it or leave it. With the exception of Everton, I don't know anyone who supports any PL team so there is less emotional investment in terms of banter. That's part of supporting City as far as I'm concerned. Looking forward to Saturdays, the build up, the chat, the texting/piss taking/the "ok, we came second, but we should have had a penalty", the train or you driving? discussions, the "we'll see how you get on at our place then" discussions....... that part of supporting a team dies off quite a bit, for me, when we're in the PL. We need to stay up, financially, but as you can see, there are other teams I'd prefer to see us playing.
