Cardiff City 2009-2010 season

I am sure you are all capable of surfing this yourself, but here we go

BBC Cardiff City Supporters Trust is to hold an open meeting after being left unsatisfied by chairman Peter Ridsdale's apology for misleading fans.

He accepted the club had led fans to believe money raised from advance season tickets would buy new players when in fact it will now settle debts.

Cardiff City owes £2.7m in tax and faces a winding up order.

The trust says the club should have settled bills ahead of other payments, including fees to Ridsdale himself.

An investigation by the Sport Wales programme, to be broadcast on BBC TWO Wales on Friday at 2200 GMT, has learnt the trust intends to press ahead with calls for an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) at which it will demand the club's board gives a full picture of Cardiff's finances.

The trust, which has 700 members after less than a year in existence, will first hold an open meeting on Monday. It would need 5% of shareholders to be in agreement before an EGM could be forced.

BBC (again)Cardiff City director Steve Borley says supporters will get their wish for an extraordinary general meeting to give a full picture of the club's finances.

He also told BBC Sport Wales that Peter Ridsdale staying on as chairman is the "best option in place".

And he says the club would have been put into administration if the board did not believe a £2.7m tax bill could be paid by the 10 February court date.

Well I got my ticket.

Row 17 upper tier.

People earlier had like row 25 and later row 7.

So they doing the usual trick of selling the worst tickets first and saving the best tickets so that late comers aren't put off by crap seats.
 
That's the second time I've had a hissy fit when I've been out thinking Cardiff had blown it, only to find the mighty mighty Blues had done the business late in the day.

This is the kind of stuff that promotions are made of!

:D
 
We were lucky. We bossed the first half and should have been three or four up, but second half was completely different, it was as if we were scared to go near them. Only in the last five minutes did we turn it on again.

I am pleased to report, all songs/chants during the game were football related. Got out of dodge straight after, so no idea if any 'protest' materialised.

Massive protest after! NOT

All of 200, and thats being generous!!

What exactly were they trying to achieve anyway? Let Ridsdale know he wasn't liked? I think he might have known that anyway.

Another thing. Had we lost today they would be calling for DJ's head, yet Chopra should have had a hat tricj by half time and missed two goledn chances, Jay missed when it would have been easier to score and McC hit the post.

This was a massive massive 3 points - we could have been 6-0 up at half time (conservative estimate), totally froze in the second half,and yet had the bollocks to see it through in the 92nd minute.

Still think second spot is a possibility, but we are (touches wood) nailed on for play-offs, and I sincerely believe that this team have the class, and more importantly, the bottle to go all the way...
 
Atmosphere was awesome yesterday, and when they started singing "Please don't take my Cardiff away" it was enough to bring a tear to the eye.
 
We are slowly getting the old mentality of trying cheer our guys to victory instead of getting on their backs when things aren't going the way we'd like. It made a difference yesterday.

One guy in front of me started singing 'where's the money gone?' almost as soon as they had scored. :facepalm:

He was roundly turned upon by all around him :D
 
So who's going to Chelsea, who has got tickets or access to them and who might be looking? I've got mine, but know someone who is guaranteed tickets but MAY not be using them, Will do my best as I always do for those who wont get tickets.

I dont think there will be many, if any left by then. If i were you i would try and tap up an ambassador that is not going for their number... i would offer mine, but i am going.

I would not pay too much attention to the talk of card checks at the stadium.

what ever happens, good luck mate

Cheers pal. Everyone i know who could get me a ticket is going. Still hoping there'll be a few going on general sale next Monday. I seem to remember the Arsenal tickets last season didn't fly off the shelves as quickly as was expected. Fingers are officially crossed. :)

See post above. I'm sure there are worthier cases than me though!
