Birmingham get 23500
The wurzles get 21100
Derby get 28000
Ipswich get 20000
Leeds 30400
Wednesday get 24300
Sunderland (relegated) get 25500
Premier league bound Cardiff get 21300. Shocking really.
Bit of context....
Birmingham get 23500. Very big away following there from Sheff Utd. Also Brum sold a lot of cheap season tickets this year, so their gates are well up
The wurzles get 21100 - bet it was more like 16k due to season ticket holders not being there
Derby get 28000- something like 20k season ticket holders and massive play off game. Probably 3k away fanstoo
Ipswich get 20000- vs Villa, thousands of away fans.
Leeds 30400 - local Derby, but on a different planet to us for support numbers
Wednesday get 24300- also far bigger club than us
Sunderland (relegated) get 25500- was 25k there when we played there - officially. Looked like 10k. Again, big gate down to high season ticket numbers
Premier league bound Cardiff get 21300.
Very poor, especially given we had nearly 30k 2 weeks ago.
Yes, that included 3k away and last night there was no more than a few hundred Forest, but really I don't think it was too much to expect 23k maybe even 25k
What happened to the extra 5-6k home fans who just turned up for Wolves ?
Did the defeat put them off ?
Was it down to bring Sat night ?
Odd
However I'd expect something of an improvement next season as it looks like we've sold approaching 17k season tickets already this year, so even without promotion we should be near 20k minimum every week.
Most clubs now rely on season ticket holders for the vast majority of their gates.
How many did Sheff U take? And, weren't Cardiff's season tickets labelled some of the best value around this season?
Fair point, but where does this arbitrary 16,000 figure come from? Also, is it not possible that there were a number of season ticket holders not present at CCS last night? Looked fewer that 21,300 there to me.The wurzles get 21100 - bet it was more like 16k due to season ticket holders not being there
Probably? Even if this made up figure is true, there were 25,000 there despite their awful form.Derby get 28000- something like 20k season ticket holders and massive play off game. Probably 3k away fanstoo
How many?Ipswich get 20000- vs Villa, thousands of away fans.
Leeds have had very limited success recently, and have never had a sniff of promotion in the time that Cardiff have challenged for two promotions. I daresay that Cardiff, in a similar position to Leeds, would struggle to get half of that figure. In fact, they had half of that figure for a game earlier in the season!Leeds 30400 - local Derby, but on a different planet to us for support numbers
Indeed they are.Wednesday get 24300- also far bigger club than us
But, again, you can argue that season ticket figures inflate many teams' attendances.Sunderland (relegated) get 25500- was 25k there when we played there - officially. Looked like 10k. Again, big gate down to high season ticket numbers
That's absolutely fine - of course you hold the moral high ground over me having boycotted after the play-off failure in 2012, only to start going as soon as promotion was on the cards. In no way have you argued with my point (however) that Cardiff's attendances are piss poor.
The atmosphere at the ground was excellent last night, better than for the Wolves game. Thats what counts. Everyone was right behind the team from start to finish. We dont want/need people like you at games, constantly criticising and moaning about the same old things. How you can comment about the crowd looking less than 21300 when you werent even there is beyond me - I was there and it actually looked more like 23-24000 to me and the noise was like 30000.
Imagine spending your Saturday night and Sunday morning doing this like, might be time to reassess a few things about your life.
Not sure what point you are trying to make here ?
You seem to be asking me to be more specific, but there is no need for detail .
These clubs had ( in most instances) bigger gates due to either
A. Being bigger clubs than us
B. Having a large number of season ticket holders included in their gate
Or
C. Had a very big away following.
Don't think any of that is in disputed.
City's fans have just been shown once again to be fickle.
Best part of 30k one week 21k the next.
Same as it ever was
