    Another sub 20,000 crowd

    I appreciate Tan has done a lot of really great things since he came to the club, and I'm wondering why the public aren't turning up in droves to back his brilliance?

    While you were away, this was already discussed 4,768 times.

    About 19,000 people fancied watching us play today. It's as simple as that.

    Do you think that the club would have had a few more thousands a few years ago? It's a pretty dismal attendance considering
    a) Tan is a genius
    b) Warnock is a tactical mastermind
    c) Cardiff were second
    d) Tickets were being sold when the club boasted a 100% record.
    e) Sheffield Wednesday are a potential promotion challenger.

    I wonder what the break-even figure is these days? I'm sure Since62 has asked the question.

    How many fans are we down and why?

    Take out the Wednesday fans and only around 16,000 Cardiff supporters rocked up.

    The best plan to put bums on seats is for the club to give ST so many seats each for a fiver. If that is a success (doubtful), it is proof positive that City fans are simply cheapskates.

    I've seen the ticket prices. They're actually very very good. In fact, I don't think anyone can claim that Cardiff are expensive to follow in comparison to other Championship and, even, League 1 clubs.

    It's slightly more dismal if your point that there were over 2,000 away fans at the game is correct. I wasn't there, so will wait to see if others agree. If your point is correct, though, 16,000 fans for a clash such as this must have the very brilliant Vincent Tan scratching his head wondering why crowds are so poor.

    Re: Another sub 20,000 crowd

    In the glory years from 1975 to 2000 we averaged less than 10,000 per game.
    What's your point?

    I think Tan is brilliant for the club, and I think you should be a bit more grateful to him.

    OK feller, I'm not exactly a big Tan fan as it goes, but we move on eh...
    So, seeing as your magic wand is bent, your font of all knowledge is dry, and your time machine is in for a service, I'll give that a go and soldier on - fool that I am.

    19000 minus 2000 is 17000

    If youse guys think Wednesday brought a paltry 2,000, couldn't have been at the game. I reckon nearer 4,000 - hence my earlier comment

    We must've lost a good 20k when we sold Toshack talking to people in pubs and taxi drivers.

    So that would be a 39k average right there.

    If it were sold out we'd move on to moaning about plastics.
