GREAT SUPPORT TODAY JUST UNDER 1,300

1,277 fans from City turned up at Birmingham today for a 12pm kick off.

The fact we could pay at the gate (thanks Vince).

Great support from the boys good noises all afternoon on the radio.

The people on radio wales are always absolutely hopeless in estimating the away support. Said today there are about 400 or 500 Cardiff fans here today.

that figure seems about right carl.good support .

I wonder if jtc was that guy looking down at us after the Brum goal.

1277 was the figure on CC Player.

i was by the dugouts mate.not far from malky .you deserved at least a point.

I think that was the amount sold rather than attended. I would have said in the region of 900 - 1000. Still top support

I can't imagine too many people going to all the bother of arranging an away ticket/travel then not turn up?

A draw was fair.

Went for a drink before the game with Big Al(Cockney Al) and Sooty Jason, Bones was there after.

It was excellent support and we really got behind the team.

I stood right beghind the goals about 3 rows up and had an excellent view of the ball hitting the net !

Couldn't beleive how quiet the Brum fans were, even when they were winning. They are worse than us -and the grumbles when they misplaced a pass, dear dear.

Last time I went there was about 1990 and it was nearly all terracing, one of the most intimidating grounds in the country. Today the most frightening thing we saw was that Asain lad giving the vicks to the buses on the way out with his trousers around his knees and his luminous lime green pants on display


As for the game, I felt we were on top for most of it and looked the better team, how on earth we didnt get a penalty for that blatent push right in front of us about 10 mins into the 2nd half I don't know. Brum only seemed to threaten on the break -and thats how their goal came.

There was a bit of hope for us there today and I'd love to go there again for the play-offs

Tim, The Brum fans were the quietest Ive ever seen them.

Suppose you have to remember they are on worse form than us recently and it was only last season they were in the prem and winning the Carling Cup.

Sounds like all had a good trip tho

Radio Wales and Wales Today, and S4C, always underestimate our away support. They are all egg-chasers, with a different agenda.

Shows how you have changed in the last few years?you say good support?under 1300,to a game less then 1 and half hours away,a big club,and you on the verge of the playoffs??come on lads ffs this is a 6pointer for you,and you are having a good season alltho you have fallen away somewhat you have and still having a good one,yet less then 1300???if you belive thats good and you are happy it just shows how sad you have become.
There again with less then 900 at bcfc,and less then 400 at lufc then this is a big following???

Why,truth hurts does it,,big clubs take more then 1300 a big game less then 2 hours away..

Its one and a half hours fron the east of Cardiff, for most of our fans its 2 hours plus (more for me as i live in Bridgend).

!,300 on a Sunday for a 12 o clock kick off it very good, considering the costs incurred for the Wembley final and season ticket renewals.

In comparison Brum brought the same amount to us and they have particularly good support away from home.
Out of interest what would you take in the same circumstances?

You are in the Premier League and you didnt sell out for Stoke away, and historically your home and away suport is lower than ours. That said our support should higher as Cardiff s population is close on 350,000 with a UDZ of 840,000 and is less travel distance to away games.

The other issue you should be concerned with is this, our support has not fallen one bit since you got promoted yet you lot were so fearful of us beating Blackpool and the impact it would have had on your home crowds. Thats a sign of a small club.

Our coaches had to go the M6 and then meet at a RV point with the Police then taken in at 15 miles an hour. The journey was over 3hrs by coach for a 12pm kick off and over 3half hrs for the Neath/Port Talbot Cardiff fans.
Remember also won only 2 games in our last 12 games.

I think that was the amount sold rather than attended. I would have said in the region of 900 - 1000. Still top support

Are you nuts?

however way you butter it up its a shadow of your old support,,and yes you have slipped up latley you are still in a good position and brum is one of your closest games,and its a big game as you both needed a win to get you back in to the top 6,,and if its pay on the day then fans can make there own way up and need not go by bus,,so come on fella pull the other leg

So again, how many would you take in the same circumstances?

Any why was your support at Stoke in the PL poor ? or didnt you go?

Joff, if they were honest and the rolls were reversed they would of taken about 500 for a 12pm kick off and an RV point on the M6 and only won 2 in their last 12 league games.

steve im going to tell nicol about this forum as im sure you will all enjoy her discusions?????

With a UDZ of 840,000, and a city population of 350,000 (2011 estimates), we would be a big club in the PL, and in ths division we are a top 6 club based on home fans only. Its funny really but every fan I speak to in the UK tells me we Cardiif are a big club. Even the Swansea fans my wife work with say the same.

Your opinion appears to be in the minority.
