Cardiff City have lost approx 18,000 season ticket holders in 2 years

I guess you have to take into account the fact that at BHA we do have a 12 month , interest free method of buying season tickets, which makes it far easier and spreads the cost. Cardiff may ask for money over 3 months with interest - so less attractive.

But take the point that a downward momentum is self fulfilling - unless stopped by injection of cash on better players. The longer the momentum, the more expensive it can be. So, take note TB

Yes that could be the case,but we also have overpriced season tickets unlike most clubs in this division.

It's football: The only way to avoid losing money is to lose money.

Or do a CP, Southampton and possibly Bournemouth very soon too, and get to the PL = huge cash inflows, accounting profits, with the financial insurance policy of parachute payments should you leave the PL club for a while.

If they was in the prem they'd sell out I bet

Exactly how many of the missing 12,000 season ticket holders do you reckon were members of the SC then?

That's pretty much a fact of the modern game though, isn't it? We'd do the same, as do most teams who go up.

Exactly. I've read this whole thread and yours is the only pertinent point on it. When they were in the Prem they sold out and had a waiting list. Now they're not they don't and they haven't. Not sure why people are struggling to grasp this and muddying the water by comparing clubs and chairmen.

Swansea must be laughing, they did promotion the right way, didn't really sell out their club, (unloaded all of their less than satisfactory players on us (except Orlandi of course), and what have they achieved? A record Premier league points haul, which is probably going to be beaten this season, a top ten finish, a league cup, a europa league campaign, and a good fan base.

"...clear that many season ticket holders have not been going to games." Which is also true in a very significant way this season at the Amex with new swathes of empty blue seats in the WSL, ES both tiers and SW corner. Giving a loss of catering and merchandise income.

Just wait till the 1901ers realise they've been sold a pup next year when their renewals are due.
There'll be a lot of £10.95 pie and powdered mash getting scraped in the bin.
