Our fanbase from the City of Cardiff (again)

[horse_face]

Good post.

I think our core home support holds up pretty well when you consider that the average away attendances at CCS are around 1,200 per season. Coventry’s average away attendance at their home ground is around 2/3,000 more per match as is most other teams on the championship.

Being located where we are probably loses 2,000 visiting fans per match , which would take our average gate close to 23,000.

Not bad at all

Interesting point: On the other hand looking at us rather than other clubs visiting, we don't have any other teams in our immediate area who are direct competition.

Within the 360,000 surely the club can do more to engage and attract these people? Not many other clubs have the luxury of such a large audience on their doorstep.

You could argue that social economic conditions play a part in our attendances especially for non season ticket holders.

The fact that the road and rail system is not the best in comparison to other cities is also a major problem with supporting the club.

Night games are inaccessible for a significant portion of fans unless you have a car

Absolutely, it makes it even more remarkable that we have so many fans trudging down to Cardiff every week.

I know other clubs offer discounted tickets for local residents, surely that's a no brainer? There seemed a period a few years back where the club seemed to be more active in the local communities.
