Nah - 29K is obviously a complete pipedream and smacks of a jack wind-up

We are now well into a period where City have very few home games - the matches with Millwall and Ipswich are the only ones at Cardiff City Stadium in a period of seven weeks, there's also just the one home match in November. Therefore, it seems to me that one of the reasons given by some for non attendance applies less currently than it does at other times - that is, that it is too expensive to attend when games come frequently and in clusters.
So far, significant numbers of non season ticket holders have found the means to be able to attend the Villa and Leeds matches (obviously, the price reductions in the latter helped), but the walk up crowd for our other home matches has, apparently, stayed at the same sort of level as in recent seasons.
With the Middlesbrough win having, hopefully, restored belief in the team after a few recent wobbles, will the number of walk ups for at least one of the upcoming matches rise to the sort of levels I feel Warnock and the players deserve?
Edit, obviously, I meant twenty thousand in the title, not twenty nine thousand!

We might hit 20 k for Millwall but I doubt it
I would go for about 18500 , it's getting better but still not good enough
It's been so long since a home game, remind me, who are we again.
No. Most people don't have the money these days. It works out too expensive.
What's the difference between the 2009, 2010 & 2011 seasons, and now? We were getting 20k+ then, and it was steadily increasing year-on year. Now we're struggling to get back to those numbers, even with another proper promotion push, and the Warnock positivity.
Our crowds are not good enough , it's as simple as that
Our ground didn't hold 29k in the prem the red stand wasn't built then .
I personally think reason crowds have dropped is because we have now experienced Prem football and the "thrill of the chase"(to the prem) is not as exciting for some. I don't think the crowds have dropped because of the red as we had big crowds season we won the league and played in the Prem
Our catchment area is huge , it surely has enough city fans to get better gates ? Even allowing for those who will never return because of the red which was a disgrace move by tan and I fully understand those that continue to stay away
Fulham on boxing day should be the biggest shouldn't it.
That could be a great one
