And they are right

If Cardiff City and the supporters groups were NOT concerned about the level of attendance both home and away why do you think it's been brought up at meetings held between CCFC and the fans ?

You are in complete denial and always have been on this matter
So what do you want? A 20,000 seater stadium that is then limited in what it can earn for the club when we can have big crowds? A 20,000 seater stadium that the FAW wouldn't be interested in using, again, bringing in more money for the club?

This season our home crowds have increased for the second successive season, even if you take out the Swansea attendance. Given how crap we've been for a few seasons, it's a genuine suprise to see bigger crowds. It's been very rare in our history for a Cardiff side that has struggled at the foot of the table to gain support. It might be worth pointing out that we're getting bigger crowds this season than when we were promoted under Warnock. I don't see a CONCERN about levels of attendance, more questions on how to BUILD it. The two things are very different.

The club, and Vincent Tan's aim, is to get to the Premier League and, one day, hopefully be a side that plays there year in, year out. We know our crowd would continue to grow if we could stay there for a few seasons. It makes sense to have a stadium that can support good crowds in the top division. I couldn't give a rat's arse what others think if our crowds are low in the Championship. It shows we've been shit. When we've been pushing for promotion, our crowds have always been bigger.

Of course, you don't like the sound of that - the lure of the Premier League bringing people into the ground, spending money etc, even though you happily watch Match of the Day and moan like feck about it on a weekly basis. You'd be happy with plucky old little Cardiff City. So glad you're not in charge of the club. We'd get nowhere.
