I still have people today talk to me about the club is a hooligan club, and people wouldn't attend games because of that. Friends of mine are often shocked that when i say of over 20 years of football i have been caught up in more trouble just having a night out in Cardiff.

Whilst some might say it was our hooligan element that kept us going, and then attracted like minded individuals to the club, that number is hugely offset by the number that stayed away. You get into going to live football from going the first time and enjoying that experience. If you are hearing constant rumors about violence then you will never experience your first hit.

I would say the club is still held back a little by its reputation. However its very much a different beast today. Its very welcoming towards families, I feel as that reputation increases so will attendances.
