of 51,127 was the highest for a non top flight City league game since April 1960 when 52,364 saw us beat Aston Villa to clinch promotion to Division 1. Highest second tier away attendance for us since December 1949 when 59,780 saw us lose 2-0 at Tottenham. Some of you might be interested.
Nice one. Although 50000 of them appeared to be in comas
Incredible support something we will never see or even get close to.
That IS interesting and that's some crowd today!
So true, here's their crowds for that 90/91 season with just 10.004 bothering to turn up for a game with Oxford in April - this was the season after Gazza's antics in the 1990 World Cup had made football cool for the first time in ages.

Chelsea are another club that are look at as giants now, but sub 10,000 crowds at Stamford Bridge were recorded at Stamford Bridge in the 80s - yes, we are a fickle bunch, but it's far from being a characteristic unique to Cardiff.

Sadly I'll never see it.
It really I should phenomenal up here- a religion, every other Saturday is like International day in Cardiff.
People showing pride in their region.
I'm so jealous- and sad that the supposed proud Welsh can't do the same.
