Porto Red Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Ok, so it's a load of rubbish as we only make it due to the reduced capacity, but hey, we're Bristol City, we take what small morsels of comfort we can find (not sure that'll catch on). https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/650914/Revealed-Can-you-guess-which-fans-top-Championship-attendance-charts-this-season-pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Think the only game not to sell out since about December/ Christmas is Preston, as they only took about one third of their allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if that is restricted due to only having 3 sides. Cardiff have got 4 sides to their Lego stadium, plus recent Premiership football along with a competitive side this season, and they have lower average attendances than us.

swampy Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 To the best of my knowledge, Cardiff do not have a Lego stadium ... it is the same bland all seater as Ashton Gate and all other clubs at this level. The relevance of recent Premiership football is irrelevant. We were there is a former guise once. And promotion / relegation tussles always generate crowds so a competitive side versus a relegation side is no different. The issues at Cardiff are more complex and not entirely unassociated with a Chairman wanting to change the club's colours and having no empathy with history and tradition. That is what has destroyed the support over in South Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what has destroyed the support over in South Wales. I disagree. Success on the pitch usually creates bigger crowds than a season where the team you support are battling at the wrong end of the table. Cardiff were happy enough the last time they were pushing for a spot in the Premiership with their nice red shirts. The recent Premiership football is relevant as they undoubtedly would've benefited from attracting new fans in the South Wales area because of this, those new fans have now disappeared and they're left with smaller crowds than us despite having more to cheer on the pitch. Not sure how you can compare us with Cardiff in the respect of top flight football when we were last there over 30 years ago (former guise? You mean Bristol City FC like we are now?). The stadium is not actually built from Lego, it looks a bit like it is from the outside in places...maybe that's what I was suggesting, eh? Most people probably wouldn't struggle with this, sorry I confused you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what has destroyed the support over in South Wales. Their support was fine, full house, when they got to the top, funnily enough! Now it has dropped by a half now they are not in the Prem, and they have resorted to admitting up to 2000 schoolkids free per home game to keep crowds above 12k. So, when they were in the Prem, the support didn't look to be "destroyed." Now they are merely chasing a play off place in the Championship, their support is "destroyed"? Cardiff have "form" or "previous" for abysmal support and abandoning their team long, long before foreign owners and soulless bowls in English football.

The Millwall figure was just the number of arrests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks very cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
