No. I’d describe you as a lunatic 😂

Re: How many fans do we have?

The other day got me thinking. 30,000 Cardiff fans in the stadium cheering us on. Maybe about 1-2k neutrals with absolute no affiliation either way in amongst that 30,000 but the vast majority would have been people that have a slight affiliation to the club at the very least. And there would have been more who werenÂ’t there with similar affiliation at the very least but how many?

Hypothetical Question

If we had a play-off final at the Principality Stadium next season to get to the Premier League and the oppositions fans were banned allowing us to have as many tickets as we wanted - do you think we would sell the stadium out?

I'd guess that of the 30k home fans, almost all would have seen us at least once this season. We need to get them coming back regularly and hopefully the way we played, the atmosphere, might just do that.

Next home match is v Exeter on Boxing day. A good result at Lincoln and we really should be getting 25k for Exeter

Re: How many fans do we have?

I’ve always thought a fan is a person who either lives in Cardiff, or who’s lived in Cardiff and moved away, or has an affiliation through parents, family etc, who takes a passing interest and looks out for our results every week. A fair weather fan is a person who attends games every now and then.
A supporter is a person who actually attends home games regularly, financially supporting the club. I’d describe a “real” City fan (if we’re using these terms) as a supporter who attends home and away games regularly. Only my opinion though.

Not a bad definition, I would argue that calling someone who regularly goes to home game but not away not a "real" City fan is a bit harsh though because presumably you're including season ticket holders in that category

Agree. Although it wasn’t me who originally used the term “real” fan in this thread. Let’s swap real for die hard. That should keep most on here happy 😃

Re: How many fans do we have?

City fans have always been fickle city v Spurs 3-2 to City and the year Spurs did the double just under 50k in the ground next game against Villa and under 12k attending.
