Even then, like yourself, I still wouldn’t think they would. Some of Cardiff’s away followings this season have been awful and they’ve spent the whole season in the top 4. When people refer to ‘our position’ they conveniently forget to say that our form has been pretty shit since Boxing Day and we haven’t won away in 4 months.

CTRed Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 @Matt Parsons BCFCSLO Seems a perfect opportunity for the club to offer free away travel, would likely boost what will be small numbers, at a time such as Easter and when a bit of good PR (rightly or wrongly) wouldn’t go amiss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bolton didn’t bring many, neither did Burton, Preston matched what we took there iirc. Same as Fulham and they had free travel. Tuesday night games we replicate the numbers bought here. Same as Saturdays imo. The problem is the other clubs have more games to boost away numbers than what we do. We have Reading which is always sold out and the London clubs. Cardiff will sell out but lower allocation. We can only compare away support to what is bought here and over a season I imagine it averages out that we take around the same away to the average we get at home.

havanatopia Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 It does not matter how many go does it, for goodness sake. Every City supporter that goes to an away game is an absolute hero in my eyes. If it is 100 or 1000 at Oakwell they will all make the '12th man' then its down to the other 11, on the pitch, to keep our season bubbling.

Give over, some people are so precious about our support. If we take a good number somewhere you'd be the first to praise it, take the rough with the smooth and grow up.

I will grow old but never ‘up’ ! But thanks for your concern....it seems you are the one who is ‘precious’ about our support - you said taking less than 1,500 to Barnsley would be ‘pathetic’ - I don’t think that would be pathetic...it’s Easter and it’s a Bank Holiday...some people will undoubtedly think of better things to do than go to Barnsley FC...but fair play to the guys n gals who do make the trip...your posts seem a bit contradictory - you say less than 1,500 to an away game is ‘pathetic’ then you say we should ‘take the rough with the smooth’ regarding numbers we take to away games...confused?!

It's pathetic as we're in the best position the club has been in for the last 10 years on the pitch, the best position ever off it, we have 8(?) cup finals left and are well in the mix for a top six place yet can't even muster 1,500 for Barnsley. By take the rough with the smooth I mean praise good followings if you're interested, but also comment on poor followings. Same as it's always been for City, our fans would flock to Reading or Villa in their droves if we were bottom of the Conference but we never travel well north. Not sure why people take it so personally, it's a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted March 26, 2018 Report Share Posted March 26, 2018 What's the obsession with away support anyway? Who really cares that much to have arguments over it? I remember being one of 300 odd at Chesterfield on a rainy Tuesday night in December and I loved the atmosphere and the togetherness on the cold wet open terrace. I've also been part of a flat, lifeless 4000 at Reading. It's not about numbers, it's what you make of the experience and the support you show for the team.
