    Combine the above with the fact that the Premiership is a shit place to be if you are newly promoted, unless you like one-sided matches, and I think many people are struggling to find a motivation to go again.

    The dip after the euphoria was inevitable, and it taking a while for people to cotton onto the fact that we're generally entertaining to watch again, and I think our crowds are about right. It takes a long time to build people up from pick and choose supporters to ST holders but it'll come if we keep playing like this.
    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.
