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?

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 consideringOriginally Posted by Barry Shitpeas
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.
So why are the crowds poor and how many fans short are we?
Blame that omission on alcohol.....
It's a real mystery innit
I don't think that plan is feasible, especially because ST holders don't like people having a sustained period of watching games for a lower price than they paid. Quite rightly too.
It was a bit rainy today.
Yeah, I think that's it :thunbup:
In the glory years from 1975 to 2000 we averaged less than 10,000 per game.
What's your point?
I think they should give it a whirl. I'm a ST holder and I don't mind fans watching a game for a cut-price fiver - mainly 'cos I pay less than most anyway.
BTW during our last promo season the average crowd was almost 22.3K. At 16,000, we have lost more than 20% of our fans in five years.
Can someone just say its because Tan is a **** and he ****** everything up and now everything is ****
We could have Mr Shirt satisfied and wrap this up in no time.
But I also want to know how many fans we are short.
It's a well-known fact that Cardiff and its surrounding area is economically bereft - and will be even worse off after Brexit. As to your second point, the Welsh have always been on the short side, as a visit to St Fagans will confirm

A couple of big away followings in that figure (Villa, Wednesday). Leeds and Derby at home next, and I'll be surprised if the crowds are still below 20,000 for those two games.
I think Tan is brilliant for the club, and I think you should be a bit more grateful to him.
Me too. For the benefit of those who bleat about low attendances and don't actually go themselves, CC have introduced a new 'Reward' scheme. At halftime, ST fans are randomly picked, their details are flashed up and they are rewarded with special offers, like match shirts and complimentary tickets. Today, 500 fans received four complimentary tickets for the Leeds game.
See, already the crowd is up to 18,000 home fans.
And you need to factor in the Leeds contingent of course....
Millennium Stadium?
Where's that then?
