Given the dross served up in the last three seasons at Cardiff City Stadium, 19,500 is pretty good I’d say.
Nothing short of a miracle…..
You don't think the club and those at the meeting are concerned about our support ?
Well you should write to them all and tell them to stop talking about it then
Because they are talking about ways of improving support doesn't mean there's widespread concern.
One choir I run often talks about how we can increase membership, but that doesn't mean we're concerned with numbers.
What did you do to try and get people from different backgrounds involved with Cardiff City when the stadium was first built ?
I don't remember seeing you at any of the social events
This.
I bet Sludge was worrying all night about what the Aldershot fans thought of City, its fans, vast empty spaces of terracing.
He's just odd is Sludge.
Yea thing is we can get 28,000 playing terribly in the championship v the jacks, every game if we went up would have more interest than that so all of a sudden no one can get tickets like the first time we went up. I’m glad we have that extra space if ever needed. Even Man City have empty seats, richest club in the world who win everything and have always had solid support…..
Some would say he's a glass half empty kinda guy, others would just say hes a miserable old kent.
He's senile mun.
Doddery old ****er moaning about today's nearly 20000 in attendance and 13000 spaces in comparison to less than 4000 through the gate and vast expenses of concrete and wooden benches on show of the 80s.
He's worried what other clubs fans will think? It's just weird.
He probably thought a one off Boxing Day crowd of 21,000 in 1980 in a 46,000 capacity stadium was awesome
Most stadiums in the championship are around the same % attendance as ours.
If the Welsh Government really gave a **** about climate change they'd do more with train services and partner with events like this.
It's cheaper and more convienient for people to sit in traffic and park than to get a train next to the stadium.
On a seperate point, the games are too late for kids on a weekday. Kids getting in at 11pm is not practical when they have school the next day.
KOs should be 7/7.15 but that will never change
Why is 7.45pm set in stone? Half 6 kick offs should be given a trial, better for away fans (even us going away for night games, you’re taking the time off work anyway that day and you’ll be home much earlier after the game if you’re up for work next morning). I find myself kicking my heels waiting for quarter to eight, I’d rather get down the City and get the match started earlier.
I am happy to fulfill that role ?
driving a bus?
Don’t know any genuine Cardiff fans that have ever missed out for a home game. Tickets aren’t ever golddust as the demand isn’t there in a 33k stadium
Sludge is correct in everything he’s saying ! Years of playing in a half empty stadium is not worth it to get a few extra thousand in when the big six come to town !
Bollocks, even with another shocker in the sunshine league under Warnock we had over 31000 average, so that’s 4000 more every game who couldn’t have got in first time around. Lo and behold we actually stayed there for a few years and did ok like swansea did….
So we get promoted
For a season
Then we go down
But we filled the stadium for a season so that justifies us having a stadium for the rest of the time that's two thirds full ?
I know it’s a strange concept to grasp, but the idea is to actually stay up…..��
You didn’t moan about the 37,000 empty spaces back in 1986 did you?
He probably did,
You do realise there's as many if not more Cardiff fans outside Cardiff as in Cardiff
Sometimes life gets in the way, and any obsticle the club puts in the way just makes it easier not to go, regardless of how "genuine" they are.
Of course life gets in the way , hence our average attendance !
I live outside Cardiff now and it's not easy to get to games - but I stand by the fact the ground is too big for us , selling out against the big boys doesn't change my mind on that !
Wales will get 70,000 in for the opening Euro 2028 game at the Millennium if we qualify, doesn't mean we should play there in future !
If we didn't have such a big stadium, Wales would still be playing at the Millenium Stadium more than likely.
Selling season tickets to students
I couldn't give a toss
We are not getting the gates we should be .....23k, 24 k , given our league position because we are not as big a club as people think we are
Which was why expanding a stadium already more than big enough for us was a mistake
Kids for a quid , cheaper booze and food , night game buses have all been tried before and definitely help but the novelty soon wears off
If Cardiff City were playing Man United etc then the support would quickly increase and the excuses for not coming to the games would vanish
It would be please dad can you get me a ticket for Tuesday night not my son doesn't want to come because the burgers are crap
