You think crowds of 18000 for us ......a far bigger city , far more populated catchment area........v them , crowds of 16000 ......makes us a bigger club ?
2 or 3 thousand bigger gates ?
24 , 25 thousand I would give you a prize
Re: There’s only one team in Wales
People who stumble across this thread (and board generally) would be forgiven for thinking that this was a Swansea City forum. The amount of abuse the owner, board, manager and team get here is far greater than anything the Swansea media and fans throw at us. It is disgraceful really. We will never be a ‘big club’ with people like that ‘supporting’ us.

18,000 > 16,000. So yes.

Even you have to admit that Swansea have been better run and more successful than City over the last 15 years.
Just looking at their list of managers compared to ours is an embarrassment.

So Cardiff with a far bigger local population and a huge metropolitan area gets just a few thousand more than Swansea.......which is far smaller and has a smaller metropolitan population ......and that means it's a bigger club ?
Sort yourself out , our attendances are almost exactly the same

It's not just about population size is it - there will be lots of the Cardiff population that have no connection with Cardiff or its football club let alone interested in football.
It is what it is re attendances - we are not a sleeping giant and never have been - we have punched above our weight for the last 10-12 years and are probably finding our level now the real debt inducing investment has stopped

Swansea has a large student population , people living there from abroad , rugger buggers
Our crowds are not substantially bigger than Swanseas ......and they should be

Cardiff have large student population and people who stay after graduating, large influx of non Cardiff born residents and not sure what rugger buggers are if I'm honest?
We are not a big club and never have been

No. They're not. we get 18,000, they get 16,000. The difference is 2,000. If they got 32,000 and we got 34,000 the difference would still NOT be the same.

Well, when you're the only one left at the ground supporting us at least you'll be able to say 'I told you so!'
