Sludge has a very valid point. Large population in Cardiff, large catchment area. That needs to be factored in.Quote:

I was talking to one of the lads from the supporters club who is a steward on one of the coaches
He said we need people supporting us now , not when we get to the premiership
Last night's crowd was an embarrassment , it's as simple as that
Not great, not pathetic.Quote:

That applies to every football club yet we are the ones getting shocking gates at the top of the championshipQuote:

Leeds played Sheff Utd , 30k rocked up .
If we go up current season ticket holders should be given a loyalty discount and new season ticket holders pay for that discount on top of there ticket price .
Last night probaly cost us a thousand fans , wiv yer ,trick n treating .
Apologies for not being psychic. However, the same thing applies. Someone has made a decision that you don't like but it's their choice, old fruit.Quote:

If you don't think that crowd was poor or pathetic you must be on some good acid or pissed out of your mind or just a wind up merchant
That's it from me nick
I agree with most of what your saying but I really couldnt give a sh!t what they think.Quote:

The dull feckers are having a demo Saturday. They are totally deluded. Think they should have kicked on. 4th from bottom is a brilliant achievement every season for them.
They would be getting bigger gates than us if they had greater capacity , no doubt about itQuote:

I agree Sludge but bollox to The Jacks. Their fall is coming soon. They are sh!tting themselves.Quote:

I think that's something worth worrying about , don't you ?
How's the bird ? The feathered one ?
And their stadium capacity is?Quote:

Thats expensive. But I believe it was £30 for a family of 4 in the Family Stand last night.Quote:

Leeds game was a big attendance but you got to factor in that they had a couple of thousand odd in that attendance so take that off then add in what Ipswich brought few hundred? It's probably around 2k off attendance so 8k down from Leeds game,was Halloween, tickets were a quid for kids but most trick or treating, price was full price for adults not a fiver like it was for Leeds.
I personally think that crowds are down because we have already achieved prem football and the novelty of the thrill of the chase (to prem) has gone. I don't think the red has hardly anything to do with it as we had bigger crowds when we were in red (unless new fans from prem are upset we got rid of the red they only ever seen us wearing in the prem and are not happy being in blue).
I think Slade era had a factor we were openly saying we weren't spending money on big names anymore,the football was god awful to watch, and Slade was not a inspired choice of a manager for us.
Fans are slowly coming back now as we are playing better football and have a good manager and are near top. If we are around this position January crowds will increase to around 20k at least
So, there are many wealthy people in Cardiff and the valleys then?Quote:
