A question about improving support

Re: A question about improving support

We should never have expanded the stadium, 28k would be fine now and would've been fine in the Premier League

Absolutely

Our fans sometimes talk us up it's daft

Build a new stadium and the fans will come !

28 k would have been perfect

When Coventry got their new ground I would look at the stands from the way end when we were up there and it looked terrible , totally desolate

Ours looks just as bad these days

Re: A question about improving support

The disappointing thing is that this thread has been done countless times and many of the excellent suggestions on here have been raised many times before.

I acknowledge that some things such as better transport connections and switching the family and Canton are expensive and logistically difficult, but simple things like seating under the concourse, more decor, free tickets for schools, etc should be something the club can sort out in a few days.

Even something as simple as getting Hey Jude back on the tannoy took years of asking. Why on earth the club thought playing Fatboy Slim and Motörhead would get the fans singing is beyond me.

Just shows how disconnected the club is, not just from the city in it’s in, but it’s own fan base. You don’t have to switch the ends either, just move the families up to the red and let singing/standing happen in the Ninian…as for transport don’t worry about about it, the Metro is coming, whatever that means….the WAG will have it nicely sorted.:hehe:

We had crowds of over 30k for almost all of our home games the last time we were in the Premier League. About half of them were over 32k, which is pretty much a sell-out for the CCS.

We have been in the top flight for 2 seasons since its formation in 1993

If we were a club with a history of big support a 33 k capacity stadium would have made sense

It's a white elephant as it is

28 k would have been fine and generated a good atmosphere with 20 k crowds in it

We averaged over 31,000 in the Premier League

Is having 3000 extra in during the PL season worth having an extra 4,000 seats empty for every season outside of the PL? Not for me !

Yes, far better for the club to turn away 3,000 fans a week during a season when they can charge the most.

Well you must be so happy to sit in a half empty stadium every weekend knowing that IF we are good enough to get promoted .......twice in the 30 years of the Premier leagues existence ......it will all be worth it because we can sell a few tickets to fans that will vanish if we get relegated

You are a typical dreamland Cardiff City fan

Absolutely not

We are a laughing stock

Re: A question about improving support

I disagree it was worth it, not a price worth paying for the occasional PL campaign to fit an extra 3000 fans in - which most weeks there wasn't - average boosted by games against the top 6 and sell out away ends

Agreed !

You reckon clubs around the UK are laughing at our stadium? Really? What have you been smoking today?

You look at the forums of other clubs and the away days photos and Cardiff City get the piss taken out of them for poor home and away support and the empty seats in our ground, it looks terrible

And they are right

If Cardiff City and the supporters groups were NOT concerned about the level of attendance both home and away why do you think it's been brought up at meetings held between CCFC and the fans ?

You are in complete denial and always have been on this matter
