I wonder how many of those wanting their season ticket money back, intend to continue subscribing to sky sports. The setting up of the premier league and all the money at the top of the game from sky is the reason why clubs these days need such wealthy backers. The match ticket sales money no longer comes close to paying for a competitive team. All that money from sky has done far more to change the game away from the old days, they wish to return too. In days gone by fans would use the argument, we pay the wages, but that’s so clearly no longer true. Effectively VT was subsidising our ticket sales last year to the tune of 12 million. Why stop supporting the club now, when none of that season ticket money is going into VT’s pocket, it’s all going into the club we support. It amazes me some fans seem to think we could of run with the squad we had last season, never mind the extra investment. I am sure many of those wanting season ticket money back, were complaining we didn’t sign any players in the last January transfer window. Where do they think the money comes from!

Leave them be. Give them the satisfaction of being martyrs in their own minds at least. At least they won't be amongst those protesting and will have undermined their own cause.

Anyone who returns their season ticket to spend on a Sky Sports subscription is an idiot and they know it. Rather than putting money into the club they're supporting every premiership team because thats who gets the split from Sky due to tv coverage.

I'll never pay for Sky unless Cardiff are in the Premiership. Until then I see no real point. By that time I'll probably be living back home anyway so will be able to go to every game anyway at the stadium unless I do a year abroad after university.

Who needs Sky when we are guided through the year under the tutelage of Steve McClaridge on the amazing Football League Show?

I feel sorry for the people who backed themselves into corners, they will look a bit silly if they ever show up at CCS.

The more sensible line is, I don't like it, but I love my club ...
