Absolute joke,give us 15000 and we would sell them- CITY RECEIVE LIMITED CARDIFF ALLOCATION City have been allocated just 1,481 tickets for the Severnside derby fixture at Cardiff City. The Sky Bet Championship fixture will be played at the Cardiff City Stadium on Sunday, February 25th (12noon kick-off). A club spokesman said: “The decision to reduce the ticket allocation was as a result of request from South Wales Police to hold an extraordinary SAG Meeting. “In that meeting they produced evidence of recent disorder and asked for our allocation to be cut by 50 per cent. “The result of this was 1,481 tickets being allocated, albeit without any restrictions placed on the travel of our fans. “The club is extremely disappointed with the actions to date and believe it unfairly disadvantages our supporters and also our club for a key fixture. “We will continue to challenge this legally, working with the EFL, Football Safety Officers Association and Sports Grounds Safety Authority, in a bid to receive more tickets for our supporters.” Subsequently, with the game not being shown on Sky Sports, the club has requested a beamback. This will take place in the Sports Bar & Pizzeria at Ashton Gate, with full details to follow.
Nonsense, we can give them 3,000 + but they do this to us, can't say I'm surprised really, the minority always spoil it for the rest of us
We’ve 300 going tonight but you think we will sell 15,000 in Cardiff. Well done RR you’ve exceeded your last daft comment
32300.?? This is the fault of your 12 year old fans who think they are hard and smash pubs. Saying that it was probably fat middle aged men with the brain of 8 year olds who think they are hard. Police decision because of your so called hard boys. 15,000
Your league attendances are barely above 20,000 , the day trippers figures against Man City are irrelevant.
Bristol City fans paying the price for Cardiff City ticket 'shambles' Bristol City supporter James Porter Hunt gives his view on the ticket situation ahead of the Severnside Derby Tickets for Bristol City’s away fixture with Cardiff went on sale for season ticket holders today, fourteen days before general release. However, availability is expected to be extremely limited and less than a couple hundred remain. With an extremely limited ticket availability available to the travelling fans, many will face disappointment in obtaining a ticket with just 1,481 made accessible. Following an event safety meeting held by the South Wales Police and Cardiff City Football Club there was evidence produced that included “recent disorder”. A game that was vastly entertaining for both sets of fans is now set to be ruined for thousands that are set to miss out on watching the game. Cardiff were granted more than 3,068 away tickets at Ashton Gate. More than DOUBLING the allocation that has been given to fans travelling to the Welsh capital for the fixture later this month. Despite the actions of reducing the ticket allocation by 50% there are no travel restrictions for the away fans. Either way, whatever’s classed as ‘recent disorder’ isn’t something that we haven’t seen before. Bristol City kitman and former player noted the called the decision “shambles”. The fact of the matter continues, at a stadium that’s hosted competitions such as; European Super Cup, Premier League and International matches attempt in an attempt make the stadium safer. If this is going to be the case then it’s time to ban individuals from these games not the masses. However, Bristol City aren’t willing to sit quiet about the situation. And rightly so. Earlier this week the club published a statement regarding the clubs view of the situation saying: “We will continue to challenge this legally, working with the EFL, Football Safety Officers Association and Sports Grounds Safety Authority, in a bid to receive more tickets for our supporters”. With the fixture important for both teams in the push towards promotion Bristol City revealed their frustration saying that the club is: “disappointed” and “unfairly disadvantages our supporters”. Admittedly, the Cardiff City Stadium is by no means one of the worst in the division. But the support certainly attracts more negatives than positives. Neil Warnock must be wondering what he has got to do to gain a higher attendance at home this season, with the club enduring one of its most successful seasons since their fall from the Premier League. With the average attendance for the Bluebirds this season coming in at just over 19,000 there’s certainly lots of blue seats on show. However, one thing that does get the crowd going in Cardiff is Lee Johnson. There was a home crowd of 23,000 in Warnock’s first game, against Bristol City. In the season where they’d just been averaging over 16,000. A lot has changed since then and the Severnside derby is a fixture that when it comes around, may give us an idea of where both teams will finish come the end of the season. It's just a shame that more Bristol City fans can't witness it in person. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-city-tickets-cardiff-city-1169543

Sold out already,hope the legal beagles can get more tickets for this game.Pathetic by Cardiff and their police.
I bet the police never even requested this.. its just another cheating game by a club that just always plays that way..
Disappointing, but if SWP didn’t demand this and its a Cardiff tactic to minimise the support from our fans then the FA should get involved. Having said that I wouldn’t go there - the JPT final vs Carlisle was the last time I sampled the Welsh hospitality - with my wife and son (7 years old at the time) - and cardiff weren’t even bloody well in the final! I also went to Uni over there and experienced some ‘treatment’ that if meeted out by the English would be classed as racist, fascist - or at best ‘strong nationalism’. Never anything really serious but an underlying rumbling of hostility. Wouldn’t be allowed in England. When challenged about it, they just giggle and shrug their shoulders. Not saying we are saints - anything but. I just didn’t like the experience and won’t go there for football ever again.
For those of you who want to see what Cardiff supporters actually think about it but don't bother with the forum, here's Red Robin's thread over there...... https://www.not606.com/threads/bristol-city.358070/#post-11426077
