Championship attendances this weekend

Re: Championship attendances this weekend

Well let's hope so

I am surprised at Ipswichs home and away support

Ipswich is a small place and they are out on a limb but fair play to them

Nothing else to do there though.

Both Ipswich and Norwich. Perhaps there's not much else to do there, but I've always thought that the clubs are a huge part of their communities. Both sides have also had more success than us over the last few decades.

Hadn't read this but again we agree, what's going on

They took 3200 or so.

If that's the case Wednesdays support is even more impressive

I shudder to think what our crowds would be if ccfc had not won until November ish time

Given that more season tickets were sold this season than last, despite a relegation battle last season, I reckon your 15k prediction is a load of bollocks, like all of your attendance predictions where Cardiff are concerned.

Even if you take the Swansea game out of the equation, we're getting better crowds than we did when we were last promoted. That's after 2 really dire seasons. I think that's pretty good going.

There was a reason for that though, but you are spot on.

Even non league are getting record attendances but I guess that’s helped by a few fairly big former league clubs who are now playing outside of the league structure.

Re: Championship attendances this weekend

The last full decade Ipswich averaged about 18000 so they are clearly a town full of plastics who only come out when they are winning

Please give yourself a head wobble

If CCFC were without a win as Wednesday were then the crowds for the Swansea and Bristol City games would have been a lot lower and we would have the ridiculous situation of a crowd of 16000 being announced and there being barely 14000 in the ground

I was very happy with the Swansea and Bristol attendances but if were were struggling and without a win like Wednesday we simply wouldn't get the crowds

It's always been our problem and it always will be . Our loyal fans are great . The reality is there just isn't enough of them .

Norwich maybe, with their premiership seasons. But Ipswich last 20 years are nowhere near us in achievement Eric. They have not played in top flight and we reached two major domestic cup finals to their none.
