Attendance for the jacks game

[TheBirchgrovePub]

Won’t be any trouble at the ground or in Cardiff

More likely to be a few scraps Aberdare way etc where people are in the pub all day on both sides

Atmosphere should be good, only time it is ever half decent down there nowadays is when it’s a pissed up crowd

[BLUETIT]

Spot on.. it's an event, not a sport.

Backed up by the fact , pubs like the Vaults charge inflated event prices in plastic glasses

FFS, you cannot have “plastic glass”, it’s a plastic receptacle

Sorry to go off topic but what do we think the attendance will be for the Jacks game?

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

No I meant "and CCFC aren't in a financial mess" as in they are!!

No wonder I was confused then

28 k

The difference is that with regard to rugby it's a few games a season

People talk about watching .....the rugby .....did you see the rugby etc etc ......and they either watch it at home , go to the game or go into Cardiff to watch it

But that's it

So called rugby fans in Wales are big event fans to a far greater extent than football fans

Most of them wouldn't even know who Cardiff , Ospreys , Scarlets etc are playing most Saturdays never mind go and watch them

If Cardiff .....the side representing the capital city of a country that is supposedly mad on rugby .....get a crowd of 8000 it's a good gate

All sports fans love the big games but Welsh rugby fans are right up there for turning up a few times a season then vanishing

It's one of the reasons Welsh club rugby is in such a financial mess .

It's in the Winter mostly when there is nothing much to do in the Valley, it's fair enough that they can enjoy a massive piss-up in the City, but most of them don't really watch and go to be part of a big event and get smashed off their face and throw their chip paper in Caroline Street.

Depends if they open the red stand

Jonny sums it up in this



about 2.30 mins in ( I guess we have all seen it anyway ) it describes it as a " event " and he is right

Does he still support city? I see him tweeting about merthyr a lot and being at merthyr games as well as Nottingham forest as he's (or was) on the board there. Don't know if he still supports city?

Also while I don't disagree as somebody else says the game v swansea for many people is exactly that- an event (albeit not much of one!) but they may see it as one.

[Rjk]

Absolutely

Your average egg chaser will be as interested in the Portugal game as the Fiji game. They won't know which is bigger and won't care but just depends which is timed best for a day on the p1ss.

That's just not true

[Der Kaiser]

That's just not true

It's the rugby world cup, that's enough. Doesn't matter who they are playing.


I'm sure pubs were full when England played Panama in 2018 in the football world cup (an easy comparison I can think of).

[goats]

That's just not true

Why? Average egg chaser these days is a pissed 57 year old woman whose never been to a club rugby match

[Father Dougal]

That's just not true

Well i wouldnt mind betting pubs will be busier for wales v portugal than wales v fiji.

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Rugby can be a fantastic game to watch at international level

And the world cup must be great for lovers of the game

But a lot of people who say they love rugby are just a few times a season piss artists

In Wales this is particularly so

Where are all these people when there isn't a Welsh international game ?

Apart from supporting Liverpool

198 tickets left in the main bowl, presumably the top tier will be going on sale tomorrow, otherwise it appears the club really are trying to see if they can not have to pay for the extra stewards up there.

They could sell the stadium out with a big push this week, offer season ticket holders half price tickets and they'd be gone in a couple of days.

[City123]

Left hand side of red stand opened and on sale

[City123]

Club tweeted 25k sold, presumably doesn't include the away end

[Former Labour leader]

May not get many more as egg is on tv and wont be finished till 7ish.Will be a lot of late comers too.

[goats]

Probably does as old bowl capacity was 27,000 I think and 2000 seats are used for segregation. 6000 seats in the red zone so if they all sold we can only get 31,000

[Der Kaiser]

Top tier seems to be selling pretty well, hopefully a hefty walk up to pack the place out as much as possible.

Main bowl's 28k, red stand is 5k

I've seen a few people saying Swansea haven't sold out their allocation yet

No surprise given they aren't even allowed to bring drink or even food on to the bus. They have to do a 12 hour fast or so- or pay the ridiculous prices for the awful food at the stadium.

Obvious jokes and banter around swansea aside that's ridiculous conditions and we should stand by them as we will have the same and worse.

28648 is the answer
