Just had a quick look at availability and not as many left as I’d have thought. Dolman 1,200 Lower Lansdown 690 Upper Lansdown 430 (all blocks on sale) Total home tickets left 2,230 Cardiff have sold 3,000 26,500 With around 1,000 empty Atyeo seats that’s 25,500 and deducting remaining that’s 23,270 sold with 4/5 days left to go! Could be largest home gate for a while (appreciate not all season ticket holders will be in attendance). Cardiff have sold 2400 the maximum City allow now Edited January 19, 2022 by Dolman Block B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted January 20, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 The club are certainly going above and beyond pushing this fixture this week, with something on social media everydat I wonder how many will actually turn up out of the sales???

Again that could be down to the away end being in the corner at Cardiff but it looked like a lot of our fans were sat down that day until the last 10 mins . Our ground is set up all wrong, the main home end should be swapped to behind the other goal so it’s next to the away fans. The ground manager won’t let this happen though. It would make for a much better atmosphere. I’ve sat next to away fans at the Ccs in what is unbelievably the family stand, the kids get to hear all sorts of lovely language and references to being Welsh, fortunately my two young ones struggle to comprehend the northern/brummie accents so didn’t pick up on what was being said. Loads of fans who take their kids have complained but it falls on deaf ears. Sure, the odd idiot will get nicked and banned if we swapped the ends, but I dont think think anyone really fancies going down these days for handbags inside the stadium. as noisy as you think you are in the away end, the main contingent of cardiff fans can’t hear you and vice versa….

BUTOR Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 The last time we won to beat Cardiff twice in a row was December 2002. There hasn’t been a home win for either side in this fixture since 2017. Let’s hope we can reverse all of that in front of our biggest crowd for two years. I have nervous anticipation for this one, which I haven’t felt in a while. Doing the double over Cardiff would add a little more of a sparkle to this season.

You beat us at our place, we need to return the favour sorry lads…..besides we are woeful at home and much better away this season. I think we have the worst home record in the entire league…..moreover a win for us will suck you guys down to the squeaky side a bit more Edited January 20, 2022 by Montpelierblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lew-T Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 No doubt this would be a sell out if the POTD prices were what I would call ‘reasonable’…. Paying £40 in most parts of the ground is criminal. I understand the club need the money after the redevelopment/covid but come on lads/lasses? Is that a fair point? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC1512 Posted January 20, 2022 Report Share Posted January 20, 2022 So does this 20k include the away sales? If so that ain’t that impressive imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most expensive ticket is actually only £38 and that's only in the central blocks in the Lansdown Stand. The vast majority of tickets are significantly cheaper than £40. Tickets are still available for £25. Those are member prices, but even at non member prices, the vast majority of tickets are less than £40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that ain’t that impressive imo My question also. It always used to include away fans when they used to do this ore Covid. Also agree that if this 20k does include 2.4K away fans it isn’t great/anything to shout about. It it doesn’t include then this is decent and will mean 23k by the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 17k home tickets pretty rubbish and extra attendance is impacted by the away sell out Overall our crowds have still been pretty decent (top third in the league) given our poor form and no expectations of a good season, but 20k versus Cardiff is nothing to shout about. Nice marketing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC1512 Posted January 21, 2022 Report Share Posted January 21, 2022 20,800 is highest this season against Bournemouth closely followed by Swansea. Both had large away followings. We didn’t even get 20k opening day. Pricing needs looking at imo! But won’t happen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
