Away Fans at Cardiff

[Packerman]

Following on from the Burnley thread,, most away fans you've seen at Cardiff
For me was Man Utd followed by Sunderland then the Jacks in the Buchanan game
Biggest mob I've seen at Cardiff was Chelsea early 80s?
Leeds Villa and Everton on the old Bob bank also brought more than a few

Newcastle by a mile, they brought a boat load about 5 years ago, around 8000 if I recall. Hard to see that being beaten anytime soon.

Don't think it was as many as that was it? They just had the overflow from the away end which is about 5k. Same amount we gave Villa when we beat them under Warnock and Man City in the FA Cup in the same season.

Ah yes you are in fact right, it appears we made 8000 available - what crap support not selling out the full allocation!


Looked more than Villa and Man City from memory but there we are.

Everton in the cup in 1977 was a lot. Not a Cardiff game but Scotland in the 1975 Home Internationals was one of the most I remember. That was the 2-2 draw with the great Brian Flynn goal. The noise they made was incredible.

Sheffield Weds mid 80s. Think Gary Bannister scored 2.

Easily Man Utd 1974-75. They gave them the whole of the bob bank and they damn near filled it.

Crystal Palace had a huge allocation in the 2nd leg of the League Cup semi final and took it up I reckon.

No, they had about a third of it next to the Grange End. I was stood next to them on the Bob and was Grange End side of the TV gantry.

Sunderland 1980 was the biggest in my time. Easily about 11k of them. The JAcks in the 3-3 game was the next biggest IMO.

They made a lot of noise too in fairness to them.

Not a City game.

Scotland in 85, the Jock Stein game. I've got it in my head there were at least 12000 jocks here?

I was fourteen at the time and their presence left an impression on me.
