Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
thought we'd be looking at around 13,000 before the season starts
anyone on here not renewing this year ?
-
Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
I think the crowds will be quite similar to last year. If we’re around the top of the table even more than last year.

Obviously if we get off to a flying start the crowds will be decent up there with last season figures but I think away followings this season will be alot less . Think they will drop off pretty quickly if we don't
Fixtures out next week

Away followings will go through the roof !!!!!

I only went away to Bristol last season. This season I’m likely to go to more.
I grew up on smaller grounds so relishing the opportunity to visit some new ones and reacquaint myself with some others. The only problem is trying to get tickets due to the reduced allocations at these kind of grounds.

I think there’ll be a drop but I don’t think it might be as much as you suggest.
We’ve been a near constant in the Championship for the past 2 decades, most people that want to come here have been several times.
In League One most away fans won’t have been to Cardiff/CCS before or at least not for a long time

I disagree.
Take into account what fans have endured over the last 5 years or so, and you can’t help but be amazed that so many people are willing to hand over hard-earned cash, up front, for this season.
-
Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
I applaud the club for keeping the ticket prices at a comparatively low level once again.
There are some shocking prices elsewhere.
-
Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
To be fair these are fantastic figures.
On the flip side its no wonder we don't see any change.

What would be “good”?
11k is more than 20 out of 24 teams sold last season.

In league 1 ?
We are the 7th largest city in England and Wales , good would be around 15,000. Little old Barnsley have sold 8,500.
Bolton have sold 15,000 Huddersfield about the same , 11,000 is moderate.
Coventry for example, ok they are in a higher league, have sold 20,000.

Not disputing it but where did you get that from, as I find stuff like that fascinating.
I think 11,000 is very good tbh and more than I thought we would see.

Where have you seen those figures?

11,000 with a City of this size with and additional population 600,000 within catchment is poor

Bradford is certainly bigger than Cardiff and is missing from the list. Likewise Newcastle is a bigger city but statistically it’s skewed because they don’t include Gateshead in the population. St James’ Park to Gateshead is a 30min walk.

Last season 17 teams had average crowds of less than 10k. The next 3 had averages of less than 13k.
Assuming away fans and walk ups totalled more than 1.5k on average then only Birmingham, Bolton, Huddersfield and Charlton sold more than 11k STs.

Bradford is larger , but Newcastle is smaller according to ONS data

It’s irrelevant, as I’m sure we were talking about Cardiff’s population within England and Wales. It would be interesting to know how many people in Gateshead support Sunderland.
It’s cool though , if you think 11,000 is great numbers. Hopefully we will see a few more before the season starts, especially if new owners are installed :thumbup:

The population of Bradford includes all the towns around Bradford like Ilkley and Shipley. Cardiff is a bigger city than Bradford.

Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
Population data is pretty meaningless if it's based on local authorities. For example Newcastle ceases to be Newcastle when you cross the river. Same with Manchester. Nottingham Forest don't even play in Nottingham etc.

Have a play around with this. Within a 10km radius of the centre of Cardiff, there’s 442k people.
Coventry - 500k
Southampton - 529k
Leicester - 597k
Nottingham - 663k
Newcastle - 691k
Bradford - 715k
If you want to be properly nerdy place the centre point on each club’s stadium. I can’t be arsed however.
Regardless of what arbitrary boundaries on a map say, Cardiff is not a “big city”. It’s medium sized and growing.

Within a 10km radius of Bradford, you get half of Leeds :hehe:
I've lived in Leeds, trust me, Bradford is not a big city.

I was thinking the same , looking at the population figures for 2025 , Cardiff is the 8th or 9th biggest city in England and Wales, it’s growing rapidly, and is also the second largest city on the UK with one professional football club. 11,000 season ticket holders isn’t that big a deal.

Cardiff has a very large student population, the ages 18-22 are by far the biggest demographics in the city.
Many university towns are similar, but it is especially pronounced in Cardiff.
I don't think many of them end up going to watch the City.
There are also plenty of competing things to do - rugby, ice hockey, cricket etc that some other football towns don't have.
But the biggest thing is we had 20 years bumping around the bottom 2 divisions, in front of a few thousand fans, in a dilapidated old ground - in the middle of which the Premier league was formed and football underwent a massive increase in exposure and money - so there have been entire generations with far more liverpool and man u fans than Cardiff ones. In the towns and cities where they have very impressive attendances you just wou;dn't get a local kid being a ilverpool fan - you're from there, you support the local team. If that link ever existed in such a strong way in Cardiff it was certainly completely broken by the time I was in school.
It would probably take a decade of sustained success to significantly change that.

Change it to 5km then. Bradford still comes out on top.
346k compared to 249k.
The fact is, the number of people living within X distance of the CCS is not within the top 8 or 9 cities in the UK.

Re: 11,000 season tickets now sold
Attendances last season of this season L1 sides, with an average greater than 11k
Bolton 21k
Cardiff 19k
Huddersfield 18k
Bradford 17k
Plymouth 16k
Reading 12k
Barnsley 12k
Luton 11k
