I know now some will be up in arms but this is the drip down effect of the Tan regime. It's very little to do with the quality of football. We took thousands away when we were rubbish in the bottom division.


Cardiff fans away in the their 1,000's

This year we only took 1500 to Reading and Fulham. Once upon a time we'd have approaching 3500 at those games. It's very little to do with the quality of football. We took thousands away when we were rubbish in the bottom divisions."

Shocking how much our away following has fallen over the last couple of years.

We barely took 1,000 to Sheffield Wednesday in what was a massive match, a few years ago we would have taken at least double that.

Ned,thats why when I go on and on and the usual suspects say I am negative,I am only stated the sad facts and its alarming and even our club finally realise this,but is it to late with Tan and Nash running the show?


I watched videos of West Ham fans singing with their stewards in the ground,it was breath taking and the stewards encouraging them, not being like Hitlers.

Torquay Fan
Dean Harding Remember the days when the likes of Cardiff would always have the biggest away following at Torquay. It was one of the few times you would see our away end packed out.

I know it's been said but i still believe one feel good factor and a big move forward by the club would be changing the canton around to bring the atmosphere and banter back. From the family stand you can hardly hear the Canton so the atmosphere doesnt spread to other parts of the stadium and the away fans sing on their own.

I know loads and loads of fans who have hardly been or stopped going full stop since the move from ninian park so if its the same in all other areas then thats a big drop in the fanbase..
I also know lots of fans that were going away back in the day but either can't afford it now or have work and family interests. And some only ever went for the trouble or day on the piss and have wised up so find it boring and dont go now they need to behave.

Jason,
That would help beyond, but theres only one person who can change that and thats Wayne Nash and he's adamant he never will,Ive asked him time and time again.

It's what West Ham fans do OUTSIDE the ground which puts off away supporters.

You can't blame the fans who were in their stadium,they were passionate.

Allan You cant speak for people you have never spoken to :lol: I have spoken to the ones im refering to and a very small percentage say Tan or the club in general.
The majority either say its boring and not the same as the old days ( ninian park , trouble , days out on the piss ) .
Pricing ie Cant afford it or wont pay it
Family Commitments
other interests and work..

Get the atmosphere back Annis and I'm sure it would draw fans back, last time I attended I took my step kids and it was like a morgue, it was their first ever football match and I was embarrassed. There's an answer staring the club in the face why can't they wise up.

I love the atmosphere and getting behind the team. But the club/Nash/stewards have made singing something to be scourned at and it does have a negative effect on the fanbase and matchday experience..

Always thought fans supported the team ? The club politics and crap performances are part and parcel of being a supporter you take rough with smooth and isn't excuse for not watching them play. :thumbup:

The club, directed by Wayne Nash,s stewards, want to eradicate any type of singing or atmosphere in the ground as club sponsors don't like it when fans use swear words when singing. It's just not Rugby like :o
