havanatopia Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 4 hours ago, JBFC II said: I honestly think they'd get 15-16k if they were in our position, they last averaged 20k 60 years ago and they haven't averaged over 10k for over 40 years, including when they were in the 2nd division back in the 90s 3 hours ago, Wanderingred said: Well so much for “faithful and true” then eh!? You saggies can't have it both ways.. you can't claim to be such wonderful fans then say that thousands are staying away because of the state of the ground and the fact you are crap. That would make you just as fickle and fairweather as anybody else wouldnt it? So which is it? Either you have a fan base that is loyal but much smaller than ours, or you have a potentially bigger fanbase that can't be arsed to go and watch second rate football. Loyal or not. Tis human nature to want to be in a nice welcoming, warm environment with superb facilities, good food, shorter queues etc etc.. You get my point. If you build it they will come, proven time and time again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The thing with all this "my dad's bigger than your dad" support comparisons and the entire Bristol "rivalry" is that they - The Few - have got a target and something to aim at/match/be better/get/take more than, something to drive them on (they're going to be seriously unhappy if Man City do not give them a 7,801, minimum, allocation, next time Citeh have the privilege/pleasure of a visit from those tossers); but what have we got? What and whom are we aiming at/trying to match? Who is driving us on, on and off the pitch? Let me get us started: next time we play Walsall/Shrewsbury/Notts County/a L2 playoff final at Wembley, let's get organised and make sure we take more than The Few. I'm in. What about you? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there are too many of those..! whilst their crowds are below ours, they are, for Cardiff, pretty high. Between 2010-2015 they averaged around 21-23k, with the obvious exception of their premier league season. Prior to that, their average of 16.5k this season and last season is higher than at anytime since 1971. Being as low as 3.5k average in the late 1990’s!

They can do lower than that: two seasons between 87 and 92 where Cardiff averaged - averaged - below 3000, in other words, a 4 digit average with the first digit being "2." Sub 3,000! And another where they got above 3000 by about a bus load every home game. Cardiff City fans are proper deserters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Are they still going under next month or will the Bodin money keep them afloat for a bit longer?
