of 51,127 was the highest for a non top flight City league game since April 1960 when 52,364 saw us beat Aston Villa to clinch promotion to Division 1. Highest second tier away attendance for us since December 1949 when 59,780 saw us lose 2-0 at Tottenham. Some of you might be interested.

They were once fickle too. From 1978 to 1994 Newcastle didn't have an average season's attendance above 30,000. Their average was 16,000 in 1991.Quote:

Chelsea are another club that are look at as giants now, but sub 10,000 crowds at Stamford Bridge were recorded at Stamford Bridge in the 80s - yes, we are a fickle bunch, but it's far from being a characteristic unique to Cardiff.
We got that crowd for Real Madrid but Newcastle got their bumper crowd for us!Quote:

Sadly I'll never see it.
It really I should phenomenal up here- a religion, every other Saturday is like International day in Cardiff.
People showing pride in their region.
I'm so jealous- and sad that the supposed proud Welsh can't do the same.
