If the Swansea away end held 3,300- which it does- then by all means. I can see both sides of this one tbh and have sympathy for both but given we got a shade under 2,000 up there it is a bit of a double standard. I doubt if we were given 3,300 we would sell them!! I've been to Cardiff 2/3 times in last 5 years and had tiny away following. What makes you think 2,000 more would go to Swansea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because it is not a sell out doesn't mean it is feasible to have any more away supporters there - Villa as an example we filled the away section we had, but there was nowhere parallel for us to go No excuse for Reading giving us such a low allocation, I get it with Villa to an extent because of the ground layout but surely they can find room somewhere for an extra couple of thousand especially due to their money problems, QPR are another team who give us a reduced allocation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We take decent numbers to Reading away, to London games- haven't we had restricted sale times or bubbles at Cardiff quite often lately? If we sold 3,300 in normal conditions- say a 3pm or even a 5.30pm kickoff for TV (police wouldn't allow it however) I think we would have a strong chance of filling it.

Of course we’d sell 3000 at Cardiff & Swansea if it was a 15:00 KO on a Saturday. Spoons quoted the last couple of away games at Cardiff where he states that we had ‘tiny’ followings, off the top of my head we took at least 1500 to both games when one was live on Sky on a Friday night and the other was a Midday KO on a Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Friday and Monday night games while on Sky and a Midday Sunday KO is hardly appealing, personally I thought the Friday and Sunday games were a decent turnout, weren’t we only given 1500 tickets for the Sunday game?

Just because you have a big away following doesn't mean there going to win. Big away crowd gets home fans more up for it. I’m in total agreement with you mate the more the merrier...... the day I worry about how many tickets a football team get ILL PUT A GUN TO MY HEAD ........

sticks 1969 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Very slightly off topic did we play them at home once about 11.30 on a Sunday morning about 20 years ago ? i think it was after the midweek away game had gone a little wrong at there place remember walking across town early on a Sunday morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montpelierblue Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Can’t can’t work out who I want to win this one, the jacks could do with another relegation back to where they belong mind. you lot usually plummet down the league about now don’t you? The jacks have the spine of a jellyfish, bit like their bitter supporters, just go for them from the off and they will buckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sold out a Friday night game on Sky with no trains at Cardiff the other week. 3/4 sell outs at their new ground, the one that didn’t was a bubble trip. Not sure what you’re going on about.

MelkshamMark Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Swansea have now sold out of the extra 1,100 tickets that were made available from 1pm today. They will be backed by around 3,500 away supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City fan 1982 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just seen in Facebook we’ve given Swansea an extra 1000 tickets , no problem with that from me , adds to the atmosphere, an extra money for city to comply with ffp !

City fan 1982 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 So basically if city fans threatened to travel without tickets to Swansea, qpr , reading we’d get a biggger allocation !’? What I don’t get is why an extra 1000 for this fixture ? I’m sure if other clubs eg Leeds , villa asked they’d be turned down. Just seems no consistency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
