    Re: Over 10,000 season tickets sold

    We've sold more season tickets than there are seats at 7 of next season's opponents grounds

    I think those who are planning on us taking big numbers around the league will be disappointed, there isn't the room!

    Quicker to reach 10k sales this season than last season I believe

    Really don't understand why we're so keen to reward Tan for his failure in running the club, but hey-ho.

    You don't understand why Cardiff City fans are buying Cardiff City season tickets?

    I should imagine like myself, they try to put Tan out of their mind as much as they can. We support the team not the owners.

    Personally I love the club far more than I dislike Tan. That should be the benchmark for any Bluebird and I clear answer to your question

    Plus if you ignore the football it's terrific value!!

    We haven't renewed ours yet, wanted to move seats and couldn't be bothered contacting the club so just waiting for them to come back onto sale.

    I wonder how many more are likely to be sold. At this stage i'd imagine any competent manager might actually have a slight bump given it kind of feels like the club has forgotten atm.

    I moved seats. Went to the ticket office today. Very helpful and easily moved seats.

    First dibs for away tickets next season is going to have to be ST holder plus 10 aways last season, at a guess. Looking at away capacities, many "new" grounds are around 1200/1500 in the away end. Might be why ST sales are higher than last year. 11 new grounds for me (and only 7 league aways). Would not suprise me if first dibs goes to something like 10 aways last season and, depending when the fixture comes up, plus 3 aways this season. Stevenage....Wimbledon. What delights beckon?

    What reward? These sales amount to no more than ~£3.5m.

    Tan spends far more than that every year. If I recall he puts in something to the tune of £12m each season of his own money. Tan himself won’t see a penny of this money.

    Really impressive sales considering the state of the club.

    No. The seat map has been taken down off the website. Either visit the ticket office (where they can show you the live map of available seats) or do it over the phone.

    we just like going to watch our football team with our friends/family mate, there's bigger things to worry about in the world than a relegation and an owner you don't like

    Bollocks…most of that is of his own doing hiring and firing, wasting millions….how much does he was on Dalman and choo, and the interest on loans to Dalman? Millions?

    12 of them, apparently.

    Which is my point. We’re not rewarding Tan by renewing, as the money won’t be going anywhere near his pocket. It won’t even cover the squad’s wages for the season, let alone every other cost associated with owning a football club.

    It was tough work on the phone today! Not possible on line, only by phone. I tried 9 times before I got through and was waiting for about 45 minutes when I did. The hold music was tortuous!

    They’ll just have to move the venue then! 15,000 to Stevenage on a wet Tuesday night

    Joking aside Birmingham probably took their full allocation at every ground last season.

    What grounds are you thinking of with us tiny away ends?

    Stevenage 1,400
    Wimbledon 1,500
    Orient 1,000

    Then the likes of Wigan give 4k

    Might be a struggle sometimes but I think requiring 10 aways is a bit of a stretch.

    Probably start at 3/4 from last season IÂ’d say
