As a point of order though we're playing Fulham and not Bolton on Boxing Day.

I’m not saying I was in favour of it, but it certainly didn’t affect our attendances no matter what many would make you believe in here. The relegation is what give us the bad attendances.
I think it’s just the simple fact of we are nowhere near as big a club as some people think. We all wish we were as big as we think but we’re simply not. Sustained success is the only way to get bigger attendances. Just look at the jacks now they are struggling.

your on the mark here..its no accident that in that list Annis put up regarding clubs success our FA cup win put us at 33rd most successful ...and our average all time crowds are also 33rd best....and the top 9 successful clubs on that list also happen to be the 9 best supported.
the crowds we deserve..?.
since i started watching Cardiff we have been relegated to the 4th tier 4 times..which obviously has the opposite effect to crowds to that success brings . NO other club that has bigger averages has suffered that fate...
so maybe we are getting what we deserve and need a prolonged period in the premier league to witness any significant growth.

With all due respect the price for most games is NOT "virtually give away" and season ticket prices are still quite expensive for your average working person. Yes, with the success we've enjoyed so far I did think that our crowds would be a few thousand more each game. However, I still think that the Club could do a lot more to market season tickets. Where are the adverts in newspapers or online for season tickets and half season tickets? Where are the posters around Cardiff and the Valleys asking for fans to come and watch the team? Where are the co-ordinated and strategic marketing campaigns aimed at attracting more female supporters, more students or more people from ethnic minorities? All of these groups are under represented. Why has the Club not linked the sale of half season tickets to a guarantee of a season ticket in the Premier League should we be lucky enough to get there? There is a lot more that the Club could do.
