Last night's official attendance of 19,057 was the lowest crowd for a Championship match at the Cardiff City Stadium since Wednesday 24th March, 2010. The opposition on that occasion were Sheffield United. That game also ended in a 1-1 draw and was watched by a crowd of 18,715.

Reports from some of those at the game last night suggest that the actual gate at the CCS was far lower than the officially-announced figure. It's now clear that the return to a blue kit home kit has not had a particularly positive effect on attendances. Whether it will have a positive effect on season ticket renewals remains to be seen.
