Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

No difference to Ninian Park for the majority of my time watching City.

I remember the 'Jock Stein' game which had an attendance of 40000. Next City game which was Bristol City attracted(?) about 4000 which was a decent crowd for that season.

What's your point here?

My point is most of the time the place doesn't look very good

Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

But if we ever had a decent owner like the jacks did and stayed up for 7 years it would be full every week.
Let’s face it, I’m staggered that 18-20,000 people actually give up their Saturday to watch the current shite on offer.
Yiu recall the mid to late 80’s sludge? 3/4000 beleaguered souls in a 40,000 capacity stadium.

We needed to move but the place looks terrible with 18000 people in a 33 k capacity

Plenty of other clubs have quite a lot of empty seats knocking about when I watch highlights on the TV.

Stoke, Wednesday, Coventry, Birmingham, Swansea and a few more all in stadiums too big for their current attendances.

As for it not looking good, I'm more concerned about some of the dross being churned out on the pitch thsn an empty blue seat.

If the football improves perhaps the seat will get used?

Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

I remember the night City beat Spurs in their double season 61/62 there was almost a full house, next home game against Villa there were 12,000, almost 40k difference. Got to say it though the Spurs game was without doubt the best atmosphere I’ve ever known at a City game.

60/61. 45,463. Took City to 6th in 1st Division after 32 games ! Next game H v Blackpool, 19,754. City lost next 5 games, on the beach probably. [Butlins Minehead..]

Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

Name the red seats the Ninian Premier Stand, and discount them to fiddle the figures, only count them IF we ever get back there. It's effectively closed anyway.


Also, discount the massive gaps between away supporters that can't be used either.


Wrexham want 50,000

Saturday night game, straight after a rugby international in town. People from all over looking for a sporting day out. The Swansea game was a great atmosphere on a Saturday night this season, the win helped mind. Perhaps the City are a Saturday night team, the well oiled fans are certainly up for it

Re: Attendance as a Percentage of Capacity

Let’s be honest the average attendance this season on 21,506 isn’t bad at all. If we were in the Premier League we would sell out most games just like every other championship club, so the stadium is a perfect fit.

If the figures I was looking at earlier are correct, City were 14th in the Championship average attendance rankings this season.

I'd love to know how many people actually attended each game, though. The physical attendance for a good percentage of matches looked way below the official attendance figures. Same for a number of other Championship clubs I'm sure, but the differences this season looked significant at the CCS.

I’m sure the fact that a significant portion of our support ( from Neath , through to the Gwent valleys and beyond) reside in areas where there are no trains or buses back to where they live for night games and on Saturday matches, the rail/ bus network is almost certainly worse than it would be for a significant number of championship clubs.

This isn't the first time I have heard you make this spurious claim

It is of course complete nonsense

How many times have you jumped ship ?

You are like a jack in the box you soppy tart
