That's what I think. Will be interesting to see what the stadium looks like when they play Lincoln.

Phenomenal. Shows we are a small club in reality who just above rangers. You know what that what I love about us. We can compete with even the likes of Leicester who are a division below. We a team punching above our weight and that is the attraction. We wouldn’t be who we are if we had crowds of 20k plus consistently in our history.

No, it really doesn’t; but you do appear to like to say such things! :cry:

There are so many factors as to why any club has more support than another; whether it be location, population, history, status, or a combination of many factors

Are WHam ‘bigger’ than us? Currently, they probably are; but that could all change by the end of this season, if the stars were to align

As for ‘competing’ with the likes of Leicester? Well, not too many years ago, we were battling them for promotion to the Premier League and beat them in an epic play-off semi-final, so who is to say we couldn’t have been in their shoes, had we survived more than a single season at a time in the Premier League?

I often despair at the negativity (not just with you) towards the club, Cardiff City FC, that we are all supposed to ‘support’! :cry:

Where was the negativity Sven. This is what makes Cardiff so much more special that these other clubs with bigger followings, it’s the togetherness the loyalty even with little success. I’m certainly not being negative I love it like this, I hated all the hanger oners from our premier league years where they were there just to watch the opposition. Clubs like ours is why we have such a big professional game across 5 divisions. People have this inversion that we need to and should be bigger than we are, if that were to happen our club we all love and have stuck by won’t be the same, last season was amazing I said it at the start, I really wouldn’t be bothered if we were there again the season after next.

Of the post came across negative then that’s probably on my very poor writing skills and getting across my message. But I proud of our club and hurts when others say we should be this we should be that if they so unhappy then maybe they should find a a club like West Ham Leicester who have bigger followings if that’s all they really care about.

I love Cardiff for what we are not what I want them to be.

Fair enough, but there are so many factors involved and only a few (Man City and Leeds spring to mind) stayed ‘loyal’ to their club when times got a little tough!

Part of the problem is that our modern support has been relatively ‘spoiled’ in comparison to the previous era from the mid 1970’s up until Sam’s arrival, and we really should be up at the level of the clubs we fought with under the likes of Dave Jones, Malky, and Neil Warnock

Our support is extremely fickle at times, but thee are those of us left, clearly including you, who only want the best for the club we love! :thumbup: :ayatollah:

Rubbish? :shock:

The ‘official’ average home attendance at the London Stadium for the 2025–26 Premier League season, shows West Ham United averaged:

62,347 spectators per league home match (19 home league games)

The breakdown:
* Total home league attendance: 1,184,601
* Home league matches: 19
* Average: 62,347 (inc. all season tickets)
* Stadium capacity: 62,500 (about 99.8% of capacity on average)


However, the ‘net crowd’ (actual turnstile attendance or the number of people who physically entered the stadium), reports estimated actual crowds of around 34,000 for some late season games, including the one versus Nottingham Forest

Premier League clubs, including West Ham, generally publish tickets sold/distributed, not actual entries, so the published attendances are often inaccurate in crowd number terms

So not ‘rubbish’ at all! :roll:
