Plastics exist everywhere.

You're bleeting on about every team under the sun having better support but the facts are a lot of clubs even if it was 50 years ago have won a trophy to generate even that extra 5-10% support. IF we had won the FA Cup or League Cup, our attendances would've gone up and probably retained some of them in the rush for european tickets.

Sludge mate, we rightly or wrongly play second fiddle to another sport which a lot of these cities just simply do not. We also have to accept that we have an awful history, so anyone who is not automatically a Cardiff fan, would probably not be that inclined to come down and check us out as they'd hear about the negative things that used to surround the club - despite the club doing a fantastic job of improving the image.
If cardiff blues , the ospreys etc were getting gates of 20000 on a regular basis your view that we play second fiddle to rugby might hold some water, but they don't

Support for the international rugby side is for 4 or 5 games a season

South Wales sports fans are big occasion supporters and within that are loads of premiership football fans

Who live on the doorstep of Cardiff city and don't bother
