Supporters club have their say

"Cardiff City Supporters club (CCSC) are aware of the recent issues highlighted on social media by the Cardiff City Supporters Trust and of the football clubs response. CCSC are unaware of the details surrounding these issues and therefore are unable to make any direct comment.

However as an organisation, CCSC has always had a healthy working relationship with the football club which has been cemented over the years by regular meetings with board members and senior staff at the club. These meetings have always facilitated honest, frank and respectful exchanges of views from both parties. The football club has provided us with regular opportunities to convey the views and concerns of both our members and fans in general, and we believe that they have where possible, taken these views into account.

As an organisation we have no issues with the current level of communication and relationship between ourselves and Cardiff City football Club"

Re: Trust..CCFC big row brewing

Surely the question re what the trust has done is the wrong question. The question should be what could be the trust be?

Maybe the club aren't so worried about what the trust has done but at what it could be and what it could expose?

Or who the trust are in bed with

Re: Trust..CCFC big row brewing

Yeah but apart from all that what have they done ?

Re: Trust..CCFC big row brewing

Am I right in thinking the Trust has been given access to a room under the Ninian stand for several seasons?
Never many folk there, as I recall - but presumably the Club has continued to provide this facility (however small).

Re: Trust..CCFC big row brewing

It’s true though.

It’s not true at all. It’s absolute nonsense. Football supporters are not even close to being on a par with cinema goers.

Nobody ‘supports’ a cinema. Nobody travels all over the country (or Europe) supporting their local cinema while it competes with rival cinemas. Nobody buys cinema merchandise. Nobody joins a cinema supporters club. Nobody wears a replica cinema shirt. There are no cinema league tables, no cinema championships, no cinema play-offs, no cinema cup competitions. Nobody cares who manages a cinema or who works in a cinema. Nobody debates the merits or otherwise of cinemas on tv shows, radio shows, websites, podcasts, in newspapers, in magazines, in fanzines, etc, etc, etc.

Don’t tell me an intelligent guy like you ever really thought that football supporters are just like cinema goers?

You’re right to suggest that Cardiff City supporters are considered to be no more than customers by the current regime, but that’s certainly not been the case throughout the club’s history and it’s not the case at most professional football clubs either.

Can anyone recall CCSC ever making any public criticism of the football club or any of the club’s owners or officials?

Re: Trust..CCFC big row brewing

Trust's letter seemed entirely reasonable to me and in no way "self-serving". Pathetic response from the club.

I don't think it's pathetic at all. The "Trust" just got ****ing schooled.

It's quite strange to see the club address something so swiftly and with such aplomb.

Totally agree with you. I read the verbose, self righteous ‘trust’ thing and squirmed. I was more surprised the club even deigned it with a response.

Supporting a football (other sports too) club is definitely a unique situation.
