Re: Yesterday's attendance - some facts and figures
the rebrand fiasco put paid to many fans returning, some of the stayaways will only return occasionally, many wont bother at all. going back to blue was an afterthought, the damage was already done by then.
if cardiff had maintained premier league status, you would still be playing in red now, and many would have carried on buying into tans vision. the consequent aftermath is your gates have dropped significantly from a couple of seasons ago, and unless cardiff return to the premier league in the near future, your gates will remain pretty much the same as they are now. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/thumbup.gif

Five pages of debate about why the attendance was so much lower than last season, when anyone who was actually at the game, will surely agree that the number of people actually in the ground was probably the same as most games last season. The only real difference here is that the number that was announced was lower because last season's announced number included a large number of season ticket holders who weren't actually inside the ground.

Think our side has a more settled look now , back line looks stable, midfield needs some work , and a good goal poacher up front , which might be Doyle/ Mason alongside a bigger man ?

No idea, all I'm saying is that last Season's attendance announcements were usually met with guffaws- Saturday the ground seemed no less empty than most of last season. I wasn't at the Blackpool game but I'd imagine Blackpool brought a fair number with them

For the first time in ages for a league game, the announced crowd on Saturday sounded about right to me - it looked to me like a normal crowd for the second half of last season.

I remember you writing in your blog in January that the crowd announced for the Fulham 'back to blue' game was the first for a while which looked about right, or words to that effect. That attendance for that game was listed as 22,500 or thereabouts. Do you reckon it was overestimated in retrospect or have around 7,000 supporters stopped attending (at least regularly) since then?

Yes, probably - I'd say that Fulham match was exceptional for the second half of last season in that it was only match where the announced crowd was close to the actual figure and my memory is that there definitely seemed to be more there than there were for that Blackpool match which was supposed to have been watched by around 4,000 more people.

I remember you writing in your blog in January that the crowd announced for the Fulham 'back to blue' game was the first for a while which looked about right, or words to that effect. That attendance for that game was listed as 22,500 or thereabouts. Do you reckon it was overestimated in retrospect or have around 7,000 supporters stopped attending (at least regularly) since then?

The drop from the Premiership definitely hit our support, a lot of s/t holders would have renewed whilst we were in the Prem hoping we would survive, when we didn't the support dropped off last season but we have a history of fickle supporters.

I am glad we dropped out of the premier league as it contributed to us getting back to blue .....

As it happens, I'm definitely a good deal more interested in the fortunes of the team itself and related issues such as attendances this season than I have been since 2012, but nowhere near enough to go to a game. That's still a long way off I reckon.

Re: Yesterday's attendance - some facts and figures
in many of the games last season at cardiff, the attendance figures were much higher, than the amount of fans that actually turned up, it became a running joke for most of the season. this time around they are sticking to the actual figures who do attend.
you cannot keep adding 5,6,7,000 fans to the gate and expect people not to notice the difference. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/hehe.gif

I agree Jim but the decreasing numbers had something to do with that as Vincent Tan had said pre season we would never return to blue under him.

The penny hasn't dropped with you butt has it. The figures were quoted on paid customers, if s/t holders were not turning up it didn't mean they hadn't paid did it?
