The empty seats in our first ever Premier League year show that. Even when we have beaten Man City and Swansea at home we still can't completely sell out.


You need to read a book called "The Magic of Thinking Big"!!!

Do you think Newcastle would have got the same support being in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th divisions for 50 years - of course not.

City used to have massive crowds. 50,000 + in years gone by. Rugby is still Wales number one sport, but that is changing and changing fast! :ayatollah:

I tend to disagree with that. The media have emphasised rugby and make a song and dance whenever an international game is on. It's a well known fact that there are more football pitches registered in Wales than rugby pitches, read into that what you will. I'd say rugby is a South Wales phenomena.

There is no money in welsh rugby, the wru are tight as fuk, and every welsh international is fuking off abroad. Every1 is tired of watching regional rugby, and it has been well documented that fans of rugby are turning to football. I like watching my local club who I used to play for kenfig hill that's bout it.

Ye everyone does don't they?. When walking into gate 3 as I do every game, you are met with a american style hotdog stall directly infront of you. You can turn left to go past the toilets to see the band pregame. Turn right, bar with a labrokes next to it with a tv directly opposite. Steps further on to where to I sit. Gate 3, 206 :wave:
