If you had been at the bottom I wonder how any you would have had? I am not having a go at Cardiff or the loyal supporters, it's the extra 12000 or so that have suddenly come out of the woodwork for the last match. All clubs have these fans and you can't deny your support this season has been pretty shit

How do the regulars feel with all these plastic supporters coming out of the woodwork for Sunday. Not proper supporters for me. And before you say anything I've not missed a home game at Brum this season and have been to 16 away games out of the 23. I am sure the plastics will be there next season for the games against Man U, Man C, Liverpool, Spurs etc.

As a Birmingham city supporter Myself I think your post is a Joke, Why sign up to a site to slander other supporters, Have you done the same to the other clubs in Every league because its Normal for supporters to turn up for important games, Do you remember we got 24.000 in our local derby against villa, Our last few games we average 22,000 But on Sunday its a 29,000 sell out ,All clubs do the same so why not be nice and wish Cardiff Good Luck in Beating Reading which might help our club.

In your defence I have always thought you were a sound poster but what facts have you stated exactly?
Have a look at our history fella.
For the past 2 seasons we have averaged 16,463 & 16,564, this season we are averaging 19,604, with a 33,000 crowd to come on Sunday that will probably tip us close or over 20,000 average for the season.
Our crowds are UP, by 3-3,500 on the previous 2 seasons, this suggests to me that the fans have supported Warnock contrary to what you have stated.
This will be our 7th highest average attendance is the past 40+ years only beaten by the year we moved into our new stadium, the following 3 seasons where we were never out of the top 6 and subsequently won the Championship and the year in the Premiership and the one after it largely due to the fact most had renewed season tickets.
Yes we are going to have a bumper crowd on Sunday made up by extra fans, call them whatever you want, ALL CLUBS ARE THE SAME, including yours.
You know what Football is like and your post smacks as a cheap shot to be honest mate, you only have to look at your own Club to see how crowds fluctuate.
Since 1990 you have gone from 7,000 up to almost as high as 30,000 and back down to 18,000 now.
Let me take you back to the last time you went up in 2009 you averaged 19,081, In the March your crowds were bouncing around anywhere between the 16-18,000 mark, in the January you were 3rd in the League and only managed a 15,000 crowd against Derby who I imagine would have brought a few! but low and behold, your last two home games saw crowds of 25 & 26,000.
As stated above all Clubs are the same, no need for low blows, thanks for the good luck though

I appreciate your comments and it wasn't meant as a cheap shot in anyway. We can all go back in history and make our crowds look better or worse. What my point was is that considering the position that Cardiff have been in all season the crowds not just home but away have been poor and I would have expected more. Also if Cardiff were in the bottom 6 all season like us it would have been a lot worse. It's a shame that all the extra fans that go on Sunday couldn't go more regularly and support the team. For Cardiff to have probably 13000 on Sunday more than their average proves the support is there

How have they been poor? with respect mate, your showing a complete lack of understanding of our history, how can our 7th highest average home crowd in 45+ years be classed as poor, how can an increase on the previous 2 seasons be classed as poor.
We will have 33,000 there on Sunday, 20 years ago we were averaging 3,600. 10 years ago 13,000, our crowds have grown more than most in recent times, to say 20,000 average is poor for us would suggest that we had huge crowds previously, we didn't.
As for on the road, again, that's open to debate, we have just played 5 away games in 26 days and took over 10,000 fans to the 5 games, 3 of which were on Sky, 3 of which were night games, none of which were particularly close apart from Villa and even that isn't close compared to what other Clubs have on their door step.
4,000 to Fulham, 3000+ to Bristol City, 1,300 odd to your place on a Friday Night on Sky, 1650 to Burton, 2,600 to Derby mid-week on Sky, 2,600 to Villa mid-week on Sky, 1,200 to Nottingham Forest early kick off on a Sunday, 1,000 to Brentford mid-week (re-arranged) on Sky, 1,000 to Sheffield Utd Night Game on Sky, 800 to Millwall Friday night on Sky.
Also factor this in, out of 23 away games, 8 were on Sky and only 9 were at 3pm on a Saturday. We had to travel to Barnsley, Preston and Ipswich on Tuesday Nights!!!! plus our two games at the Sheffield Clubs were pushed back to late kick offs on Sky.
All things considered I think our support is doing fine.
Good Luck for Sunday and next season

If you want to compare our average home or away support with Cardiff then please do so. We've had a number of away games this season where we have sold out and could have taken a lot more. Last Saturday at QPR we had 1800 because that's all they gave us. Same at Villa, Wolves, Fulham, Sheff Utd as well as some others. If you want to bring Tuesday night games into it we took 4800 to Bolton about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Sheff Utd we took 2500 on a Sat night live on Sky so not let's hide behind Sky or Tuesday night games. And let's face facts if Cardiff had been as poor as us how would the average crowds look then? Nobody has answered that. I am not knocking Cardiffs loyal supporters it's the ones that are going to their 2nd game of the season on Sunday after Man City

This will be our 7th highest average attendance is the past 40+ years only beaten by the year we moved into our new stadium, the following 3 seasons where we were never out of the top 6 and subsequently won the Championship and the year in the Premiership and the one after it largely due to the fact most had renewed season tickets.
Yes we are going to have a bumper crowd on Sunday made up by extra fans, call them whatever you want, ALL CLUBS ARE THE SAME, including yours.
You know what Football is like and your post smacks as a cheap shot to be honest mate, you only have to look at your own Club to see how crowds fluctuate.
Since 1990 you have gone from 7,000 up to almost as high as 30,000 and back down to 18,000 now.
Let me take you back to the last time you went up in 2009 you averaged 19,081, In the March your crowds were bouncing around anywhere between the 16-18,000 mark, in the January you were 3rd in the League and only managed a 15,000 crowd against Derby who I imagine would have brought a few! but low and behold, your last two home games saw crowds of 25 & 26,000.
As stated above all Clubs are the same, no need for low blows, thanks for the good luck though
I appreciate your comments and it wasn't meant as a cheap shot in anyway. We can all go back in history and make our crowds look better or worse. What my point was is that considering the position that Cardiff have been in all season the crowds not just home but away have been poor and I would have expected more. Also if Cardiff were in the bottom 6 all season like us it would have been a lot worse. It's a shame that all the extra fans that go on Sunday couldn't go more regularly and support the team. For Cardiff to have probably 13000 on Sunday more than their average proves the support is there
How have they been poor? with respect mate, your showing a complete lack of understanding of our history, how can our 7th highest average home crowd in 45+ years be classed as poor, how can an increase on the previous 2 seasons be classed as poor.
We will have 33,000 there on Sunday, 20 years ago we were averaging 3,600. 10 years ago 13,000, our crowds have grown more than most in recent times, to say 20,000 average is poor for us would suggest that we had huge crowds previously, we didn't.
As for on the road, again, that's open to debate, we have just played 5 away games in 26 days and took over 10,000 fans to the 5 games, 3 of which were on Sky, 3 of which were night games, none of which were particularly close apart from Villa and even that isn't close compared to what other Clubs have on their door step.
4,000 to Fulham, 3000+ to Bristol City, 1,300 odd to your place on a Friday Night on Sky, 1650 to Burton, 2,600 to Derby mid-week on Sky, 2,600 to Villa mid-week on Sky, 1,200 to Nottingham Forest early kick off on a Sunday, 1,000 to Brentford mid-week (re-arranged) on Sky, 1,000 to Sheffield Utd Night Game on Sky, 800 to Millwall Friday night on Sky.
Also factor this in, out of 23 away games, 8 were on Sky and only 9 were at 3pm on a Saturday. We had to travel to Barnsley, Preston and Ipswich on Tuesday Nights!!!! plus our two games at the Sheffield Clubs were pushed back to late kick offs on Sky.
All things considered I think our support is doing fine.
Good Luck for Sunday and next season
GAME, SET AND MATCH!
If you want to compare our average home or away support with Cardiff then please do so. We've had a number of away games this season where we have sold out and could have taken a lot more. Last Saturday at QPR we had 1800 because that's all they gave us. Same at Villa, Wolves, Fulham, Sheff Utd as well as some others. If you want to bring Tuesday night games into it we took 4800 to Bolton about 5 or 6 weeks ago. Sheff Utd we took 2500 on a Sat night live on Sky so not let's hide behind Sky or Tuesday night games. And let's face facts if Cardiff had been as poor as us how would the average crowds look then? Nobody has answered that. I am not knocking Cardiffs loyal supporters it's the ones that are going to their 2nd game of the season on Sunday after Man City

When people talk about the population of Birmingham, I'm sorry to correct you but there are 3 teams in Birmingham, us, Villa and West Brom. Also Wolves are less than 20 miles away. Cardiff have Swansea virtually 50 miles away and have a massive catchment area, as well as Cardiff, Barry, Penarth, Bridgend, llanristant and all the valleys. As I've said I'm not knocking the regular fans in anyway but I believe with the catchment area and league position Cardiff should be getting 30000 every home game at least.

I have got my opinion and if people don't like the facts then theres not a lot I can do about that. Some people need to grow up and face facts. I have not once insulted anyone on here and good luck to Cardiff on Sunday. I just think Warnock has deserved more support from the fans
In your defence I have always thought you were a sound poster but what facts have you stated exactly?
Have a look at our history fella.

Population of Birmingham is roughly 3 times that of Cardiff so even taking into account there are 2 teams in Birmingham that would mean your support should be 1.5 times bigger than ours.
That would be 29K which you are 9k short of.
To put that into context your support is down 45% on ours taking into account local population and factoring in the fact there are two teams in Birmingham.

Yes your facts are correct Cardiff average this season 19604 2nd in league, Birmingham average this season 20743 and in bottom 6 virtually all season. If the positions were the other way around the difference would be much bigger.RV Casual wrote:lucky wrote:With regards to distance I travel 125 miles to every home game so as I've previously stated why does distance matter so much.

But we never have!!! so whats your point?
Honestly it riles me when people say our crowds are poor and how we should be having 30,000 every week, yes we all wish we did, what football Club wouldn't. It will take time to grown a fan base with sustained success at the top level, Skiprat has tried to point that out to you many times.
Catchment area counts for nothing, there's almost 2 million people living in Devon and Cornwall yet the 3 Clubs, who have no competition for miles and miles struggle to 15,000 between them, that's just one example.
Honestly though, the thing that baffles me the most, is how a fan of another team can come onto another Clubs forum and say their crowds are poor, when under the same circumstances their own have bee WORSE is beyond me,
In the past week Jacks and Brum
Birmingham City 2009 - Promoted to the Premiership - Average attendance = 19,081
Swansea City 2011 - Promoted to the Premiership - Average attendance = 15,507
Cardiff City 2018 - Could potentially go up with a win on Sunday - Average attendance = 19.604.
How you lot of them lot can say our crowds are poor is beyond me.
