Whitts

Re: Whitts

Zero thought from the club, but that doesn’t surprise me.

Basically a fitness exercise football match for two teams Whitts played for, to keep the current players of those teams ticking over whilst the World Cup is on.

This was an opportunity to get the band back together - Bothroyd, Chopra, Super Kev, etc etc to remember Whitts but instead his name is just being used to push a fitness friendly. Absolute joke from the club.

How do you know that any of that isn't happening. As usual you have jumped the gun and just assumed the worst. The game isn't for 3 months for goodness sake. I would think that ex players of both clubs will be falling over themselves to come back and play a part.

Re: Whitts

Is it?

Seems quite lazy to me. A glorified friendly in the winter break, on a Tuesday night in the cold and rain.

It should’ve been a celebration with former teammates and old players having a game that would’ve attracted a decent crowd, I think the attendance for this will be quite disappointing.

The attendance would be crap if everyone took the same attitude as you. Luckily not everyone will and will be happy to go along and pay their respects to a club legend. Villa will bring a good crowd as well.

Re: Whitts

Not so much a fit, more a genuine disappointment, if this is the only way you can buy them.

It will eliminate a lot of people straight away

You all missed the bit that says you can buy tickets on the gate on the night then. Or is that ‘too much trouble’ as well.

Massively unnecessary to get so confrontational about it- some (most) people like to buy their tickets in advance.

Re: Whitts

Odd. On the ticketing website they're only selling every other row. Can't wrap my head around how that makes any sense?

I’d have just got back from Qatar so if I want to make a donation to the foundation directly instead I’ll do so thanks for your input :thumbup:

Re: Whitts

I would imagine a lot of city fans will still be out in the middle east following Wales. This game is the day after the Wales v England game. If we get through i am staying out there, as i think many will, if we get knocked out, I doubt many will be able to get back in time. Hope he gets a great turnout, but i will not be able to make it.

Just like the Super Kev testimonial timing, you have to wonder who the **** at the club is responsible for making these decisions? Utterly incompetent.

Agreed.

Re: Whitts

It does seem like the club make some really strange decisions at times. I always bang on about explaining “the why” behind decisions in work. It’s something that we don’t seem to do well as a club so people just start assuming a lot.

So your criticism of the event was based solely on your personal circumstances and your lack of ability to get down to Cardiff. Very remiss of City to arrange the event on a day when you weren't available. Perhaps next time you should give them your diary in advance, so that they can arrange it for a day you are available.

And you are just a miserable old git who has nothing good to say about anything. How you have the cheek to accuse someone else of being a troll is laughable. I have been posting under the same user name for over seven years now and only have one account, unlike you - what other user names do you think I go under then ? Come on, enlighten everyone.

I do have some sympathy for you, as you appear to have only been posting for a fairly short time on here. Unfortunately you are already being dragged in to the general negativity of this site. What you have to understand is that this board is dominated by a small number of posters, quite a few of which either support other teams, don't like Cardiff City at all (or anything to do with it) or deliberately post things to wind people up, as they have nothing better to do. They think that this board is here for their benefit and no one else’s. I started posting in 2015 because I was fed up with the negativity around and criticism of everything the club, board, manager and players did by these people and decided to try to call them out and challenge what they say. As you can see, some of them don't like this at all. There are quite a few genuine posters as well but they do also tend to get caught up in the general negative attitude and positive things about what is going on rarely, if ever, surface any more. This has led to the situation in this thread, where the clubs attempt to honour an ex player who tragically died and raise funds in his memory for his charities, is being pilloried left right and centre for no good reason. I actually enjoy supporting Cardiff City and try to see the positive in what is going on. I have been accused of being a troll, multi account holder, outright liar, sworn at and vile comments made about me and my family, plus various other things on a regular basis but I will never give in to these ‘keyboard warriors’, who would like nothing better but to be left to wallow in their own self importance. Good luck and don’t let the bas****s grind you down.
