    If we end up in the running for promotion, our end of season crowds will eclipse yesterday's.

    Well let's hope so

    I am surprised at Ipswichs home and away support

    Ipswich is a small place and they are out on a limb but fair play to them

    Both Ipswich and Norwich. Perhaps there's not much else to do there, but I've always thought that the clubs are a huge part of their communities. Both sides have also had more success than us over the last few decades.

    Norwich maybe, with their premiership seasons. But Ipswich last 20 years are nowhere near us in achievement Eric. They have not played in top flight and we reached two major domestic cup finals to their none.

    That doesn't apply to Ipswich. They haven't been in the Premier League since 2002. spent the last four seasons before this in League One. Average Championship league position 2002-2019 (17 seasons) was 11.3. Cardiff City in the same period never went into League One, got to the Premier League twice and spent 18 seasons in Championship with an average league position of 9.6. Clearly a better record for City in the last two decades.

    Go back 30 years before that too

    Nothing else to do there though.

    Watford and QPR pretty much sold out too. Only Blackburn with what may be considered a poor crowd (13000)

    QPR regularly have good crowds, but that's down to their capacity as much as anything.

    If that's the case Wednesdays support is even more impressive

    Re: Championship attendances this weekend

    We have played top flight football twice in the past 60 years or so. Spent 20 years dying on our arses in a decaying stadium, better known for for football related violence that what happened on the playing field. Since going up to the championship we've been half decent, and apart from Dave Jones' sides (sporadically) and Warnocks for about 3-4 months, the football has been pretty shit. Another important factor is how a community is formed, and how a football club becomes the pivot within that Community, Cardiff have never been that. An interesting study would be why some football clubs get such fantastic support when they haven't been that successful, but it seems that the club is entwined within the culture of the Town or City.

    Given that more season tickets were sold this season than last, despite a relegation battle last season, I reckon your 15k prediction is a load of bollocks, like all of your attendance predictions where Cardiff are concerned.
