You very often read, when clubs have success, that everyone, even down to the ‘tea lady’, has played their part. Cardiff City seem to drop their ‘tea ladies’ like a shit house seat. That’s indefensible.
Surely that's not what this thread was about though? You slammed the club for 'doing it's utmost to put obstacles in people's way' and mocked DML for defending the indefensible. Now it's been pointed out to you that there was a well advertised timetable for this process, that we're doing broadly the same as other clubs and that the ticket office was open all last week you've moved the goalposts and are now trying to make out it was all about something else. Which, judging by your use of the word seem in the last paragraph, you're not sure about anyway.

I totally agree with you about funding the ticket office by the way, you'd think it would be a drop in the ocean compared with player's wages, and it hurts my head to think about how a football club operates it's budget in general (imagine how many minimum wage staff we could've employed if we hadn't signed Isaac Vassell, for example) but other clubs seem to be going the same way and, like I said, I don't think it's what this thread was about.

You're one of the best posters on here, TOBW the same. I've no interest in arguing with either of you but the endless anger and club bashing on here is exhausting enough as it is so it's a bit sad to see the pair of you piling in without any apparent justification. There's always things to criticise, of course, and I don't want a board full of DMLs but hammering the club for expecting the majority of people to be able to use the internet in 2022 is pretty toe-curling.
