New Ninian Stand shop

Re: New Ninian Stand shop

It’s hardly a Cardiff problem though , how much do think Norwich City support comes from places like Yarmouth, Thetford , and other towns within the fourth largest county in England. Huddersfield Town , I know lots of support is from Wakefield, Stoke comes from the Potteries and the midlands , Nottingham etc , it happens everywhere.

Wtf are you talking about ?

No.

Say we get 18,000. How many are from Cardiff.. Half?

No wonder the shop was empty.

Huh , just to clarify, most clubs have a significant amount of support from outside the town they are from , particularly isolated teams , I know for a fact that the majority of Cardiff support comes from within the city itself.

That's means nothing

Man United have a majority of season ticket holders from the local area

Which is simple to understand as it's easy for locals to go to games than someone 45 minutes away by train

Well you are saying that Huddersfield......and Norwich ......and Stoke get support from outside the city .....in the same way ccfc get support from the valleys

And that's correct

But then you say that Cardiff get most of our support from the city of Cardiff....

Which is the opposite of what you are saying

We have a large valleys support , but outside support is not unique to Cardiff City as you suggest , almost daily.

Re: New Ninian Stand shop

I wonder if the support within the city of Cardiff would be better if the city was clustered amongst other large towns and cities. Would people become more parochial, more loyal towards the area they come from? Imagine towns like Ponty, Bridgend, Merthyr etc being a fair bit larger and having professional football teams, but Cardiff being the largest club and area. Would that create more of a footballing hotbed, actually somebody else to worry about and therefore, creating more identity, intensity? In short, do we suffer from not having any real local competition, making South Wales a bit sleepy in terms of local football support. I'm thinking Yorkshire, Lancashire and London, albeit on a much smaller scale.

P.s if you think that this post is just bollocks, please say so :hehe:

If I suggested that , daily or not then that might be worthy of debate

But that's not what I say

I don't actually know what you are saying and I don't think you do either

No it's interesting

Burnley , Preston , Blackburn , Bolton

Rotherham, Barnsley , Bradford , Doncaster , Huddersfield all have good support within the towns they represent

I personally think the percentage of locals following Burnley , Preston etc is far higher than it is with us

Now Newport are back in the league are locals from Risca, Cwmbran etc supporting County or do many of them still follow city ?

Re: New Ninian Stand shop

The shop in St Davids Centre was perfect for people doing a bit of Christmas shopping for their kids or grandkids. Just a pity that a lot of the stuff in there was red.

I am proud to stay I stuck an A4 'Back to Blue' poster on it's window once on a saturday afternoon. Was still there a couple of hours later :ayatollah:

Re: New Ninian Stand shop

I thought it was pretty obvious this was match day.
The shop in town was great but like others have said empty, the cost of rent, utilities, rates, staff in st David’s 7 days a week was likely totally unviable.
Selling merchandise there on match days makes complete sense
