Had a quick look and sales seem pretty decent. Canton Stand sold out and middle 3 blocks of the Ninian nearly sold out.
I think estimates are Peterborough will bring 1,000 so could be looking at ~19k. Maybe shift a few more if the weather is decent.

I'm going 17,501. What does the closest guesser win again?
You get to join the 4th consortium interested in taking us over.Quote:

Cracking prize. Yeah my guess is 17,501. Or 17505 if my brunch meeting at Celtic Manor with the owners of the NY Yankees goes well on Saturday morning.Quote:

Bring on League One
Season ticket holders are counted, even if they are not there, so that’s 11,600 + approximately 1,000 from Posh, that’s 12,600
Walk up, ???????, 4000, so 16,600
BUT ACTUAL ATTENDANCE, 14,300
There’s a chance to join the fourth consortium here, you can’t have two goes.Quote:

And why anybody would prefer to watch the British Lions on TV when Cardiff are kicking off a new season on your doorstep is beyond me.
Agreed, I’m a big Lions fan but Cardiff is my priority. Test series already won, get down and support the team.Quote:

I'm going for 15,319
I'd love to bag that place in a potential 4th consortium if the truth be told.
17,357
16,270
Slightly larger than Bolton's but only if you count the red bit, that probably won't be used.Quote:

Club's post on instagram says 13,000+ season tickets soldQuote:

Does anyone think that early kick-offs affect attendance (up or down)?
Well in that case, they have sold 1400 in the 2 weeks since our FLO meetingQuote:

18,500 according to Corkey
Not bad, did he mention what the score was?Quote:

Similar to what we had v Wycombe opening day last time we landed in this league, 2002/3 was it? I thought we were massive but then reality sunk in….be down to 10,000 come winter, which is still remarkable considering what the fans have to put up withQuote:

It'll depend on results. City winning will see people in the ground especially after Christmas if there's a sniff of success.Quote:

I'll add City have managed to maintain a larger amount of regular supporters than in the last 10 years than in previous decades.
I do wonder if a few seasons in League One would reduce that mind.
City's support for me has always been fickle.
higher than anyone on this thread predictedQuote:

The Alibaba group also owns Guangzhou Football Club in Guangdong Province (Canton) and there’s likely to be a partnership type arrangement with them, I.e. loaning of players/increasing exposure in China etc. I know for a FACT that Cardiff have already been invited to play in next year’s Guangdon-Hong Kong cup - as part of our pre-season programme - where Guangzhou FC will also play.
All they’re waiting for is the sign-off from Tan, then they will immediately sack Darren Purse!

Season ticket sales are apparently higher than the first game last season according to Corky which are over 13,000.Quote:

We had the highest attendance in the division yesterday. 11 more than Bradford.
