these are guesstimates

but in just these 6 games that's 145,000 extra match tickets sold (plus beer/food/programmes)


NO BLOODY WAY - There's enough plastic inbreds trying to get tickets for individual matches as it is - fans are what we want at home not armchair day outers!


so keep the club smaller and poorer for you and your mates? is that real support? Nope


Explain how playing a couple of games at the Millenium will make our club bigger ?

You know what would make our club bigger, if we increase our current stadium. Not by jumping ship for the big games. Terrible idea, will never happen, not viable and that is why it wont happen.


if you actually bothered reading the details, I mentioned this idea is just while we are expanding Cardiff city stadium to 38000 which will take 2 or 3 years

it makes us bigger as it adds probably £10 million plus in tickets/hospitality/beer/food shares etc

plus it introduces an estimated 145000 new people to watch us, who may return what the csc is expanded.
keep up mun


So why dont all the big London clubs play their larger matches at Wembley ?

If it made such good business and commercial sense im sure they would have jumped at the chance. Like I said, not going to happen and I dont think it would benefit the club but it would benefit the WRU.


It would benefit the club as Ive pointed out 7 times
as for London clubs, they wont use Wembley as their stadiums are way bigger than ours, emirates is 60,000
chelski around 45000
we need to do this to make money, pay debts , bring new fans, etc until the Cardiff stadium is up to 38000 in 2 to 3 years time
I prefer to play at csc but I want whats best for us longer term...that's to play at the mill stadium a few big games for a few seasons

I would imagine we wouldnt get a cut of any food sold as it wouldnt be provided by the club but by either the stadium or contractors in the stadium. The Millenium stadium would also take a cut of any match day revenue made on ticket sales. They would also take the money for programmes and merchandise sold in the official shop.

So no, not going to treble at all.[/quote]

youre totally wrong this is not how the wru operate.....they ask a rent and the ticket sales all go to the club
the food and beverage etc is divided up
we could also shift a 10,000s more jerseys at £50/60 a throw
clearly it would make us millions (possibly ten million) whilst the Cardiff city stadium is under expansion to 38000 over the next 2 to 3 yeares....and that's all good for us

obviously the same people who are against the obvious idea, were also against the red kit, this ridiculous narrow minded thinking almost lost us our backers and our premier league dream....so I will ignore their cynicism[/quote]

It shows how deluded you are by thinking playing 6 games at the Millenium Stadium is going to benefit the club £10 million and 10's of thousands more shirt sales.[/quote]
youre deluded in thinking we are better off playing these matches at our tiny 27000 stadium

Of course we are better off playing our home games at our home. We have more chance of beating clubs at the CCS and as I said the points are more important and worth more to us than an extra £3 million (not the £10 million you propose). Sorry but your business plan is flawed and utter rubbish based on assumptions.

Cardiff is a bigger club , potentially a way bigger club than qpr....so quoting them is irrelevant....Cardiff city covers a vast area including thousands from the valleys of rhondda, neath and beyond

this idea is obviously the intelligent thing to do...play a few games at mill stadium, for 2 years whilst we expand our stadium to 38000 then return all games to Cardiff city stadium...£10 million richer and way more new fans too...
this is with a view to staying in the premiership and who knows even expanding the stadium further again

Your figures are completely absurd. How do you think we will make £10 million from 6 games ? Man United play infront of 70,000 fans per week. Based on your figures Man Utd would make £30 million from playing home games. Absolutely rubbish.

Re: We must play some games at millennium stadium

Thu Jul 11, 2013 3:48 pm

Ridiculous idea, CCS is our home... end of.

We need to create a fortress at home if we've any chance of competing with the bigger teams. Moving around all the time isn't going to help that and then we could lose the games and get relegated leaving all this irrelavant anyway.

Re: We must play some games at millennium stadium

Bonkers Idea. We play at the CCS can't be moving any of our games there big or otherwise.

You don't see Spurs moving to Wembley to play Arsenal Man U etc. White heart lane only hold about 40K. No doubt they would sell 90K tickets and make a load of cash but its not the point.

Against fa rules and home of welsh rugby . Stoke fans were the 12th man on many occasions in their early years in the prem . That atmosphere needs to be replicated at our ground . The big clubs would thrive at the mill stad . A nice day out for them
