HoldenBall Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I assume they sold out our allocation we gave them, that's like 50% of their home crowd, cracking effort from the Malaysian ladyboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Portland Bill Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 I just took this off their forum, I knew their home crowds were going back down, but their away support has dropped badly as well"Our away support this has been the worst for over 10 years with an average of just 632 City fans attending away games, so this just shows even with a 12pm kick off, playing the Worzels away means a lot to Cardiff fans."

They took 800 to Charlton a week after we took 2500 to the Valley. They're hoping to take 2,000 to Reading! Dai-ed a death their away support currently, bottom three away support in the Championship. It's not gone unnoticed over there how many more we are taking away than them this season despite being at opposite ends of the table. Just shows though, how the people owning and running a club set the tone, mood, the belief, amongst supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just had a little look at their forum CCMB (on iPad). What a mess that site is! Tiny fonts, loads of quotes within quotes within quotes (and so on), and just a very dated look and feel. I could barely navigate it or make sense of the threads.

This Saturday will be a strange one for me although I've been there many times before. My Dad was from the Rhondda Valley yet had never been a Cardiff fan. As a boy in the early 1900's, he used to come with his father, who was born in Claverham, to visit his uncle who lived on Coronation Road. If City were home, in the First Division, all the male members of the two families went to Ashton Gate so Dad had an affinity with City as a boy even though he lived over the Bristol Channel. When Dad came to live in Bristol mid 1930's he became a regular City supporter and first took me with him in 1950. But about 4 or 5 times a season we went to watch Cardiff who were in the First Division and I remember their players of that time as easily as I recall Atyeo, Rogers, Cook of City. Although both of us always wanted City to beat Cardiff, we both had some affection for the Bluebirds that continues with me. So I desperately want us to win this Saturday even if the following Saturday, I will be singing the anthem when Cymru are at Twickenham (could not get a ticket) and again desperately hoping for us to conquer the English.
