Incredible support something we will never see or even get close to.
us or 99% of the football leagueOriginally Posted by Tandy
us as in CCFC. Not interested in the other 99% (bar Charlton)
Not true - I saw a crowd around that size when we played Real Madrid. I'd argue it was actually larger as many of the crowd nipped over the back walls in those days.
We will always get the big one off crowd for a special game but we will never come close to the likes of Newcastle. They are there week in week out.
They were once fickle too. From 1978 to 1994 Newcastle didn't have an average season's attendance above 30,000. Their average was 16,000 in 1991.
^ this. It takes sustained success to rid a city of it's legions of plastic Liverpool and Man Utd fans. If we got promoted this season and spent the next 25 years in the top tier then we would have a far bigger fanbase.
So true, here's their crowds for that 90/91 season with just 10.004 bothering to turn up for a game with Oxford in April - this was the season after Gazza's antics in the 1990 World Cup had made football cool for the first time in ages.

Chelsea are another club that are look at as giants now, but sub 10,000 crowds at Stamford Bridge were recorded at Stamford Bridge in the 80s - yes, we are a fickle bunch, but it's far from being a characteristic unique to Cardiff.
We already beat it in 1960.
