Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

As almost certainly one of the younger posters on the board (another reason ccmb won’t exist in 20 years time) I’d have to say the reputation of the club has been dealt irreparable damage over the years.

There’s either idiots thinking we’re the same club that takes 2000 to Scunthorpe in a cost of living crisis or that we should have 17000 at the CCS.

Cardiff isn’t a big city, and the city itself has absolutely no football history outside of an FA Cup win nearly a century ago.

I’d bet nearly all if not every single one of the posters on here with over 15000 posts are over 50 years old.

You all live in a fantasy land, the club is shit, we are run like shit, and we get crowds that resemble a shit club, which we are.

Mate, give up on stats. There are a few who aren't intelligent enough to know what they mean.

The point remains a we’re a one club city, no nearby rivals and a large population to tap in to. Yet the people of Cardiff don’t follow en masse

What reason have they had over the last 50 years to do so?

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

I’m sick of reading some old ****ers debating why we don’t get bigger crowds.

We don’t get ‘big’ because we are shit, and it’s about as simple as that.

Cardiff is a great city, and anyone this board suggesting otherwise has either never lived in Cardiff or never lived in a city.

But as far as football goes, the City are shite, and we almost certainly always will be.

Get over it. Get over the perceived lower crowds. We’re crap, and that’s the biggest sell for tickets.

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

Some mental statements there fair play. I’ll leave you to talk to yourself on the positives of Cardiff

There are teams who are utter shit who have bigger crowds in lower leagues. Logically it doesn’t add up. Derby for example have massive crowds, with James Collins playing up top.

The city of Cardiff should be more engaged with the club and they aren’t. No idea why

What’s the reason lads from Barry, Bridgend, Porthcawl and the Valleys make the journey down then? Yet Cardiffians proportionately are not arsed?

Are you seriously using Derby as a example? Shows how ignorant you are about football history. End of debate.

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

Derby, for example, won the first division.


Cardiff, for example, have not.

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

Genuine question, why does it bother some of the older folk on here that we aren’t ‘well’ supported?

I’m 27 and honestly couldn’t care less. I support the team of my home city passionately, but I’m also fully aware that we are a dross football club that will provide me with very little excitement for my investment.

The majority of you reading this message will be over 50, it isn’t a surprise to anyone yet you all argue like we are a dying big club.

Get over it, we’re an average sized shit football club. It is what it is.

Cardiff, for example, have not.

They were last in premier league over 13 years ago since then have been relegated, embargoed and almost lost their stadium. With an owner arguably worse than Tan

You and others can’t eloquently articulate reasons why the people of Cardiff don’t follow the club. Yet people further afield do

Re: Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

You sound like you been hoovering gear.

Are we massive no? Should a city and surrounding area of Cardiff be producing bigger crowds yes

Cardiff, for example, have not.

Derby Have won it twice.

Not entirely sure what your point is?

That smaller clubs have entered the premier league since Derby’s drop off?

Or that people who live 150+ miles travel to Cardiff games regularly?

Football clubs of any stature will always attract people from miles away for a variety of reasons. I live in Streatham with a season ticket and try to get back to at least 15 games a season. My Dad grew up in Germany on an Army camp but supported city.

I’m not criticising our supporters, I’m criticising the idiots that suggest we should have a bigger fanbase just because.


We are a shite football club, it’s as simple as that.

I worked in Streatham, Telford Avenue, House bashing, and in Tooting. Used to go to The Bedford pub in Balham. They had a little comedy club at the back and red stripe on tap
