Unless I have missed something, people are unable to be in two places at once when they are on holiday. You should know this more than most, as you are in Merthyr and the team you are supposed to support but rarely watch are in Leeds - whats your excuse ?. Also our ground holds 33200, so was at 92% capacity. Leeds attendance today was 33669, with a capacity of 37890 i.e. 89% capacity - not good for the best supported team in Europe is it ?.Originally Posted by chris
it was your first home game back in the premier league in years , it should have been packed to the rafters , regardless of it been televised ,
you might as well given the newcastle fans the ground and stuck the cardiff fans in the away end .
i am not from merthyr fella and your support is laughable people on holiday etc,if leeds were playing at home in the premier league for the first time in years , you would not get a ticket for love nor money . .
its apathy fella, because many fans know that you will be fighting a relegation battle from day one , i do actually hope you stay up, but the passion for football in south wales is nothing like the passion for rugby
That would be the same Newcastle who failed to sell out their allocation by 400 seats!it was your first home game back in the premier league in years , it should have been packed to the rafters , regardless of it been televised ,
you might as well given the newcastle fans the ground and stuck the cardiff fans in the away end .
you wont take anything like what newcastle brought to cardiff , even if they were giving tickets away do me a favour .
You know nothing - watch and learn.you wont take anything like what newcastle brought to cardiff , even if they were giving tickets away do me a favour .
How many years exactly is it since Leeds were in the Premier League - please enlighten us all. If you spent as much time actually watching 'your' team as you do on here and stopped posting such utter rubbish you might get a bit more sympathetic treatment. On second thoughts - no you wouldnt.i am not from merthyr fella and your support is laughable people on holiday etc,

your away support is shocking always as been
Don't be a dick two other clubs I hate , united and Liverpool have the best away followings in the countryyour away support is shocking always as been
It wasn't shocking when we took 5000 to Scunthorpe in the old division three you fat Merthyr idiotyour away support is shocking always as been
Some people turn out in their tens of thousands to watch Barry Manilow.
Others watch the shambles that is Leeds Utd in the lower leagues.
Call me nuts but I wouldn’t waste my money on either.
oh dear get the violins out
the away support of cardiff is garbage its been proven for donkeys years
Are these your excuses for not attending Leeds games?oh dear get the violins out
its either too expensive , too far, we are all on holiday , the cats got fleas , there is a special offer on at asda .
Chris the Leeds fan joins in and so the thread becomes the normal defence of the club against his "banter", but I was surprised, and a little disappointed, at the number of empty seats in the ground. Too early to draw definite conclusions yet, but my guesses are that we have quite a few season ticket holders who were either on holiday, stayed away to watch it on the telly or are only interested in actually attending when one of the top six sides come to Cardiff City Stadium.
Not when you can watch the Brazil ‘70 esque total football of Neil’s Warnock’s Cardiff eh?
Who cares?
Seems your lot didn't have an answer for Tony Pulis' brand of "total-football" yesterday. Many on your forum complaining about the pointless tippy-tappy football you play within your own half. Middlesbrough didn't need to break sweat against you lot, they just stood there watching with bemusement as you played aimless balls all afternoon and then they hit you, with their effective directness - in the same way another ex-Championship side played last season....
I wouldn't be surprised - seeing that you lot are a bunch of lazy scum living on the dole and off benefits ...... so that's all you lot have got to look forward to is your shitty football - now jog on and leave us Cardiff fans continue the debateyour away support is shocking always as been
You stupid Welsh clown. Go and fester on some other messageboard.it was your first home game back in the premier league in years , it should have been packed to the rafters , regardless of it been televised ,
you might as well given the newcastle fans the ground and stuck the cardiff fans in the away end .
That would have been silly as the biggest gaps were actually in the Newcastle end.it was your first home game back in the premier league in years , it should have been packed to the rafters , regardless of it been televised ,

Besides the expensive hospitality seats the home sections were virtually sold out.
Yes, lots of odd seats in the Family Stand which was ‘sold out’ months ago.
I can’t believe they were all on holiday.
When these seats are so cheap then I’d bet there were a few who bought them just to see the top sides
On a more generous note, maybe some of the kids had morning football and couldn’t make it.
I bet they won’t be empty in 2 weeks for Arsenal
Don’t know where you get the idea about more passion for the egg in South Wales fella,there’s plenty of six week supporters when the internationals come along but never go near a game apart from that,more people both watch the round ball and play the game,in every part of Wales than chase the egg.i am not from merthyr fella and your support is laughable people on holiday etc,

No - you said that Cardiff wouldnt take as many to Newcastle later in the season than Newcastle brought down yesterday - about 2000 by the way. So lets just wait and see. If you are such a big club how come you havent been in the Prem for 14 years and how come your stadium isnt full every week ?. Dont expect you to answer these questions, because you never do. Swansea's ground only holds 20000 by the way, so dont know how you expect to fill their ground with an allocation of 2000your away support is shocking always as been
His passion is fishing , eating pies and catching the Leeds score. He would get home and watch them on MOTD but they havent been on for years.
I was also surprised at the number of empty seats in the ground - especially in the Ninian Stand. Initially, I thought it was a maybe a traffic issue given the early kick-off time, but it soon became apparent that wasn't the case. No doubt holidays were a factor, but it was a puzzle all the same as most of the empty seats must belong to season tickets holders I'd guess.
After the game, I was talking to a mate who was sat in the upper tier of the Ninian Stand. He reckoned he paid £42 for his ticket. Is that right? Seems steep to me, I was under the impression that tickets were a good bit cheaper than that.
Yes the Lower Ninian is sold out for season tickets. Didn’t see any empty ones near us and also yes, £40 plus £1 booking fee and £1 admin or some other crap for middle tier seats - not sure of top tier.
Seems a bit steep to me and really not necessary with the TV money coming in
