Do you think derby , Nottingham and Sheffield are full of millionaires?
no they are full of scumbags mate lol
LmfaoNo, not any more.
Yes even if the jacks did go down which looks very likely this year, they will again be one if the smallest clubs in the league. They could easily slip through again, maybe all the way back.
Population of Cardiff will be 400,000 soon, that’s a shocking average for supporting ccfc. Do 2% even go?? Got to be the worst local following in the UK.
The population of Leeds (a one club city like Cardiff) is 780,000 (est)
Their average home attendance this season is 32,210 - 4.13%
The population of Cardiff is 360,700 (est).
The average home attendance this season is 19.936 - 5.53%

For the size of population Leeds have a worse home following than Cardiff.
^^^^
Leeds metro has a population of 2.4m. When that's taken into account as well as their historic success their attendances aren't all that impressive
Perhaps pushing it a bit there, Leeds metro includes Bradford and Huddersfield and other towns that wouldn't necessarily have an affiliation with them, in fact are probably rivals.
Because they love egg and Swansea?
I know plenty who didn't go last night purely because it was Halloween. I'd put my neck out and say with it being half term if we'd played tonight we would of seen a bigger gate...as the trick or treating is over.
Plenty like myself won't take the kids to midweek games too due to school the next day.
What's the population of the UK divided by it's major clubs to give us a national average?
1.9%
As had been said here already, the crowd will increase if/when City return to the Premiership not because of some sudden desire by the “missing” 10,000 to watch Cardiff City, but rather the attraction of seeing their favourite Premiership players/teams who they watch week in, week out, on their Sky Sports channels from the comfort of their armchairs.
When City were promoted to the Premiership it left me completely nonplussed as I would have supported them even if had they gone down a division rather than up one. It is so difficult for newly promoted teams to survive in the Premiership that in a rather perverse way I was slightly dreading that season because I feared we would be cannon-fodder and go straight back down with the distinction of being the only club not to win a single game! Luckily that wasn’t the case but sadly we finished bottom of the table with only 7 wins out of 38 matches and a goal difference of -42. Does anyone realistically expect a different outcome if we go up this season?
Yes.
Why not? Have you seen Swansea play for starters and they are not even in the releagtion zone. Burnley , Bournemouth , Stoke , WBA , Southampton , Huddersfield. No reason why we cant compete with the lower half teams.
We may go straight back down but id say wed probably stay up.
Think we will miss out on promotion though.
So we're just above the average then. Good stuff. Can all stop moaning now.
Too many midweek games, too many televised games and matchday costs are the root of the problem.
Sky and BT, whilst offering top notch viewing, is slowly strangling the game.
Although I can’t see it happening, we need to go back to every game being a 3pm kick off on a Saturday, and do away with mid week games unless they are cup replays.
Champions Leage, init.
I wonder who the fairweathers will blame when Tan leaves?
I do believe we have to bring that ‘Grange End’ feeling back by switching ends and safe standing but I think I’m in the minority.
I'd love for that to happen. For me personally, watching City was never the same after we left Ninian. A club's ground (just like the colour of the shirt) is part of the club's identity and seeing us move into another soulless box like a number of other clubs took a chunk out of my soul. Not saying that's the reason for the poor attendances, but even when there was nothing to play for, I'd always be eager to see City play.
Even after we moved to the CCS, attendances were better and finally made the playoffs (3 times) before getting promoted. Maybe after the dream was realised and it went tits up, maybe some lost interest because all those years of yearning and dreaming came true, and it was all a bit of an anti-climax?
And Cardiff has only water to the south....
Above us, only sky.
Try to remember how you used to think when you were, say, ten or less. If, having endured Cardiff 0 Derby 0 and Cardiff 0 Millwall 0 on your last two visits to Cardiff City Stadium and your parents came up to you on Tuesday to ask you what would you prefer, going down the football again or going out "Halloweening", what would your answer have been?
It was a poor crowd for the Ipswich match, but I wasn't as disappointed and upset about it as I might have been, because I was half expecting it.
No. for me, the one that asked serious questions about the attitude of so many part time fans was the Derby game which was played four days after 27,000 watched us play superbly in beating top of the table Leeds 3-1. Of course, the cheaper tickets that night helped and, of course, there were those whose financial situation meant that they were only ever going to go to the one match even if we had won it 6-0 while playing absolutely brilliant football, but the fact that probably six or seven thousand Cardiff fans (once you allow for away fans) were still not persuaded to go to the next match despite having, presumably, thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the Leeds game was very poor in my book.
Apart from the final days at Ninian Park when the ground capacity was reduced below that figure, City have always been able to attract 20,000 plus crowds during the times I've supported them when they were realistic promotion contenders. Gates this season are thousands down on such seasons and are quite a bit lower than in our Championship winning season when we were playing in red - I don't get that.
Up until about two seasons ago, kids season tickets were free in the family stand and we sold about 4,000.I assume we have sold less that 1,000 this year. With season ticket sales of 14,000 this year, our crowds are fairly reflective.
Personally, I think the club should reinstate the free season tickets in the family stand, like a few championship and league 1 clubs.
Exactly. They are clutching at straws
What a load of bollocks. Have you been stuck in basement for 9 years?
Not at all. You'd be surprised at the number of people who still believe there's trouble at our home games. It takes time for the label to go and as I said, club should be shouting the truth from the rooftops. Several people in my street won't let their kids go to games... I've pointed out it's trouble free... but no...
