Swansea City sell out 99-100% of the home capacity for every single league game. It's not Swansea City's fault if the away fans don't fill the away end. Those of you that cannot understand this are either mentally challenged or on a wind up.

You filled your ground every week in championship did you?


No we didn't. Were you waving your dick about while you typed that? Totally missing my point.

This huge catchment area u talk off.
Swansea and cardiff are but 44 miles apart so basically we have the same areas to draw support from as u.
Yes cardiff as a city and immediate surrounding area has a bigger population! However the valley areas are seeimg more swamsea fans every season.
Add to that west wales then we have allso got a significant area to pull from
Fans from the Rhondda can travel to swansea just as easy now as they could to cardiff and it takes just 20-30 mins.

But dont make out that u have a much bigger fan base as u dont and I think on s whole u would average 2 k more then us.


Last time we were both at the same level and you didn't have the excuse of a small stadium, you were getting over 8k lass than Cardiff.

Wrong.
2003/04 at ninian park our average was 15612. Plus it was in a shitty dilapidated stadium. You were in a virtually brand new ground.

Get your facts right rather than making up things. Makes you look more of a prat than normal. :laughing6: :ayatollah:

You are saying your fans didnt go to ninian park because it was a bit run down? :shock: :?

i think there is always an attendance boost with newer stadiums, perhaps they feel more family friendly?

C'mon roathie. Why did Swansea crowds grow when you left the vetch. Virtually every team who move to a new ground get bigger crowds.

3 reasons
1. Novelty/floating fans
2. More away fans-new ground to tick off list
3. Better facilities and from a new plastic point of view probably a good day out.

As far. I'm concerned I support my team wherever they play in whatever league and I'd prefer ninian to ccs despite its shitness!

definately ffs couldnt even have a piss half time unless it was against wall, porta loos were used was even worse than the vetch and that was behond words! :o couldnt see game if crowd over 10k, missed 30mins per game if in corner of grandstand fans going to loo/drinks before half time! could go on but hopefully you got the picture? :old:
and new stadiums boost crowds just look at our crowds after we moved! :laughing6:

True but we also got promoted in our last season at the Vetch so were starting life in the new stadium in a higher league and on the crest of a wave which had a great impact.
