I'd be willing to bet we have more fans in the west of Cardiff than the north and south

Sorry but thats nonsense. Forgetting the history of our current location, the city centre means very little and expensive car or coach parking, grid locked road accesses on match days, direct competition with other events. It would also be much more difficult to police. The City centre is also located only just over one mile from the ground anyway, so we are hardly 'out in the sticks'. If we carry on as we are the ground will be full by the end of the season and sold out every week in the Premier League.

That's a wise comment.
It would also be interesting to know the birthplace of the folk living around Cardiff. With the expansion of the city, how many local residents are Cardiffians or even Welsh?
If there isn't a connection with City by birth/recent residency, then it's not surprising local people are not supporting the Bluebirds.
Keep it where it is. Ideal for us Barry folk.
We averaged over 20,000 in our first six seasons in this stadium. I don't think demographics have changed since we moved in so there are probably more relevant other factors.
On a serious note, I think we have less younger fans nowadays. As we all get older, we have other commitments and its easier to miss games to do other things. We need the younger fans to replace the ones that no longer go as regularly, if at all.
I think the club should be giving out free tickets to local schools every game so hopefully some of them keep coming back. I read somewhere that Stoke used to give out 1000's of free tickets and shirts to children and their attendances increased as a result.
I'm in favour of a move. Anything to eliminate the shortcut pandemic.
