More than half of its support comes from outside of the city. Valleys, Barry, Bridgend.etc
So how much are the local areas such as Grangetown, Canton and Riverside supporting their local club? I would suggest not enough. The demographic of residents on these areas has changed massively in the last 20/30 years so it’s bound to have an impact.
If the stadium was in another part of Cardiff, one where the residents can walk up to the ground, and don’t have to catch any transport, would it attract more supporters than the residents near the CCS now?
Makes no odds to me I would have to catch a train, or drive / get a lift down regardless, but what do the people of Cardiff think? Those who actually live in the City? In other areas of the City perhaps?
For those getting their knickers in a twist I’m not suggesting for one minute we build a new stadium that ain’t gonna happen. Just interested as to why there’s not a great deal of people from Cardiff who support their local club?
All too easy to blame the valleys for supporting your Liverpool and your Man Us but it’s obvious the football fans of Cardiff don’t all support the City.
