    Re: Crowds

    A quick point I’d like to make about the missing 1,000’s
    Mate of mine who is city through and through
    Been going down Through all the dross yet this season He’s only been down no more than 5 times home and away , I don’t get it
    Yesterday for example I was out with aload of my mates who are rugby boys. We went to the blues game and were out all day watching rugby with Llanelli scarlets after the blues game
    I tried my best to get them to come down the city with me but they were having none of it saying it’s on the telly anyway and we’ll watch it in the pub. That fact it was on the telly on a Saturday night would have had an effect on our crowd but With the noise we made you wouldn’t have thought it
    **** em anyway
    If you don’t go down yourself then don’t come on here moaning about our crowds

    Fortunately few give your bile the audience it doesn't merit.

    What with being 6 point away form the worlds richest league and having broken the stadium record for a Cardiff City match both in the league and cup in recent months, it's really great that there is at least one voice of reason on here, you should be very proud of yourself. You don't sound like a complete knob at all.

    After all you probably only do it, selflessly, out of your honourable deep concerns for the way the club is heading and to try and save us foolish enough to give our continued support from the disastrous long term effects of VT's reign..

    I think it's difficult for us sellout fans to see past the success sometimes and realise how much better it would be, even if we had to battle in the lower leagues for sometime and await, maybe forever, a local hero benefactor such as what Swansea once had.. At least we'd have the truly passionate and principled people such as yourself at the ground week in, week out... We really seem to be going to hell in a handbasket right now, I mean, we'd be doing so much better right now without the likes of VT, right?

    Or maybe your'e just a c unt..?
    What a post

    I know several long term Jack fans who throughout their school years were Jack fans but switched allegiance.

    One I had known for years and hated Cardiff. I was stunned when I saw down the CCS.

    Ive asked one why and they said it was a better laugh hanging around with Cardiff. This was pre-Jack promotion mind so they may be regretting it.

Now that is piss poor for a big London team playing such good football and chasing automatic promotion who havent lost for 22 games. How about having a go at them instead ?. Their home support each week must be 17000 max.
    I thought the Brentford crowd looked piss poor.

    If you and others dont want to come along to watch then fair enough but dont keep coming on here regurgitating the same old rubbish because it doesnt wash any more. Its your loss.
    Some quick points:

    Whether people like you care to admit it or not, one of the most significant effects of the re-brand was that it caused many long-term, previously diehard fans to view the club and its fanbase in a totally different light. The upshot is that Cardiff City is simply nowhere near as important to many supporters as it once was and this no doubt has a negative effect on attendances, as the figures continually demonstrate.

    As for the re-brand being over and done with, the fact is that the man responsible still owns the club, his personal choice of symbol adorns the badge and his motto is plastered all over the shirts and the stadium. Given the damage that was previously done, that's more than enough to keep some people away.

    You do indeed have a team to be proud of that is punching above its weight, but if you're not a diehard supporter and winning matches isn't the only thing that is important to you, then I can assure you that watching City games this season has been a tedious experience more often than not. As far as most casual football fans (and even some staunch City supporters) are concerned, the style of play is mostly unattractive and uninspiring and I believe that's the most significant factor when examining the current level of attendances. Personally, I think Warnock and his staff have done an absolutely incredible job to get this squad to the verge of promotion, but if you think they're exciting or interesting to watch you're deluding yourself.

    Just over a decade ago, I shared a car to a friendly in Stockport with the man whose message you responded to. There were three of us in the car that day. All of us boycotted the club during the re-brand era. Only one goes regularly now. He sent me a text from the ground at half-time last night, saying: "There's not an ounce of football on display from City. It's almost legal cheating."

    Me too. There didn't look to be more than around 800 there at best. I was surprised how few they took considering the small distance involved.

    You can't look at the 'long term effects' whilst placing no emphasis whatsoever on the position we were in when Tan took over and also the position we could have been in now if he didn't.

    The most important long term effect I see is that we are still around and competing.

I get the impression that even if the ground was full every week and we were playing like Fulham or Wolves, BIS and others would still be spouting off about some other issues and blaming it all on the rebrand. I enjoy watching City, however they play, Even when playing poorly we have scored some excellent goals and won 26 games - more than when we went up under Mackay. How we play at this time of the season is irrelevent as long as we pick up points. Surely you should have learnt that from your time following City all those years ago. If you think that the football was more enjoyable then than now then you are the one who is deluded.

    The fact is City have been playing like this for the majority of the season. After the early fireworks, the football has generally been a poor spectacle. It hasn't changed significantly in recent weeks. It's just as it has been for months.

    How the team plays is irrelevant to you and other diehard supporters like you. I fully understand that. I used to be just like you in that respect. But when you're not a diehard City supporter, as is the case for the vast majority of the population of South Wales, then how the team plays is relevant. Football is a form of entertainment and unfortunately the current side simply doesn't entertain on any kind of a regular basis. The players are organised, strong, committed and have great spirit, but the team has very little flair and is generally tedious to watch. That, in my opinion, is the single biggest factor behind the current level of attendances.

    I remember Boxing Day 1998 whenjohn Williams tripped up stumbled and somehow forced the ball over the line on an extremely pissy day.

    It was up there with Carlos Alberto’s goal
    In the 1970 World Cup final😂😂😂

    The point being is that anyone who says the standard of football being played is particularly dreadful and a reason to stay away from previous years is talking Shite when we’ve been a lower league club for so many years.

    The rebrand was utter nonsense but we survived it and here we are now.

    The crowds must be poor for some other reason, then. Maybe it's the weather?

    If you have no interest in the subject, why don't you move on as opposed to telling other people what they can and can't post about? There are loads of threads on this board. Why choose this one to contribute to?????????????????

    Maybe its because a bunch of grown men are still crying over another man making a mistake by changing a football club's shirt colour for two years?

    Out of interest, how often do you attend City games these days?
