The problem is , as proved by the stats , is that they are very quick to vanish . Cardiff City has huge potential but its keeping these fans returning that separates us from Leeds , Sunderland , Derby etc
Surely you appreciate that having regular football at this level is helping our attendances? Sunderland, Derby etc have had this for years and years. I tend not to be all that bothered about attendances from many decades ago. I've proved in the past that clubs who have spent decades and decades in the top 2 divisions tend to hold onto their fans nowadays. We had almost 20 poor years in the bottom 2 tiers.

You mention Portsmouth. They had some really shit attendances in the 70s and 90s.

You do love picking your stats to suit.
