No doubt the vast majority of fans will carry on supporting the club regardless of recent events, but for some of us there is a principle at stake here. Cardiff City’s Malaysian owners have clearly demonstrated they are content to ignore the supporters and trample on the club’s traditions. Consequently, they will not be getting another penny from me."
However, while the position is still technically a point of principle, the truth of the matter is that I simply haven't had the desire to buy a ticket at any stage since the rebrand was reversed and my personal boycott effectively ended in January 2015. I get offered spare tickets on a regular basis on account of the fact that I have plenty of friends who are season ticket holders. If I have nothing else on my agenda, I take those tickets as I still love football, still enjoy watching the games, still enjoy the days out and very much enjoy catching up with everyone. But I also regularly turn down the offer of tickets as I'm either busy doing other things or I just don't fancy it for whatever reason.
If I genuinely felt inclined to buy a ticket I'd bite the bullet and do so, but so far I haven't felt that way. The occasional games have been enough.
