Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 It's on S4C isn't it? Quick look online shows only a few blocks were open for fans, maybe "behind" the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Also Shrewsbury fans complained to FSF that they didn't like to travel all the way to Cardiff for a 6pm kick off. If you wanna listen to radio commentary is on 882 Medium wave, in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I wonder how much Swansea and Cardiff get for being shown on Welsh TV? Less ticket sales aside, it's a guaranteed little earner for them it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great crowd when things are going well, more than us probably; deserters when things are dismal, less than us. Rovers and Swansea more loyal than Cardiff too, in the lowest league.

Rob k Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Now I hate Cardiff as much as the next man but let's not kid ourselves we would have had many more than say 6k for a rubbish game just after Xmas that's being played at 18.00 on a Sunday night!!!

It`s great that he supports them like that and hasn`t been sucked in by the prem.

It's funny as he was only a baby really when he moved to a place between Burnley and Rochdale. When he started going to Primary school I was so worried he'd up a Manure or a Citeh fan but he's decided that Shrewsbury is his team, so good on him. I'm not out of the woods yet though as my daughter was born in Burnley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 "A crowd of just 4,782 - marginally bigger than the stadium's record lowest football attendance of 4,194 - watched two much-changed sides toil on a muddy, deteriorating pitch, in a stadium that holds 33,280." A muddy deteriorating pitch? Tan doesn't believe in the "Green, green grass of home" does he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is quite remarkable aside from the biggest faux pas in the clubs history by flip floppin' on their colours. If I was a fan of theirs, god forbid the thought, I think i would have seriously considered defecting to Newport long ago. Here's a question for you all.. Would it be stretching it too much to suggest that Cardiff are another Darlington in waiting? When ever will they need a 33,000 stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChippenhamRed Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Let's be honest - if we drew Shrews at home next season with 27k seats, a Sunday 6pm kick-off and shown on local TV, it wouldn't look much different. I don't know how much Cardiff were charging for that but it's exactly the sort of game you need to make £5-£10 each to have any hope of getting a decent crowd.

CotswoldRed Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Cardiff fans shouldn't be too disappointed. The stadium can always be used for car boots, conferences, wedding fairs and concerts if they don't wish to use it themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 4 minutes ago, City169 said: Telford less attractive than Shrewsbury though (no offence to the Telford fan who posts on here). Surely the most accurate comparison would be our attendance when we played Shrewsbury in 13/14 season No, because that was a league game not on the telly and not at 6pm on a Sunday. Telford is a better example of a game against much lower opposition in an early cup round, when everyone including STH has to pay. OK, Telford aren't as good as Shrewsbury, but if we only got 6.6k for that, how many would we have got for a televised game? TV would be a huge factor for an unattractive fixture; many people just won't bother. I know I wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think even then their options are a bit limited with the Mill Stad for big concerts and the Motorpoint Arena for smaller indoor ones looking more attractive than their ground.
