8000 is what the club told the city council on the planning application, why would the lie.

They have to prove that the extension is needed.

Yes some games have seats spare were season ticket holders aint turned up but it realy is few and far between unlike the hundreds u have.
As for the rest iv put up, why is it bollocks?
Were u not getting 13k before your cup runs and play offs?
And was we not getting 15 k in our 2 season's in the champ?
It takes time to build a fan base after the shit we went through.

You have never averaged more than cardiff even in the champ and that's a fact. If you want me to bring up figures I can, you only have to ask

Bobby, who cares? Both clubs have about 3500 fans who would support us through thick and thin. The rest will support us when we are doing well but still have their fav 'big teams' to fall back on whenever they want!

He wasn't going down the 'we have more fans than you road' was he? It's a very popular trait on here about catchment areas, population, bigger historical gates, smallest ground in the prem, Welsh Wigan blah blah! The simple facts are as I said. Both clubs have a hardcore support of around 3500. Whoever has the most plastics should be of no concern to real fans. Do you honestly think for one minute that if things went tits up for either of us we would get the support that Portsmouth currently have at the bottom of Lge 2? Now thats the measure of support that both us have!

Only after a few years in the champ and after your cup and play off runs did u get above 20k.
We were getting 15k on our 2 seasons in the champ without any cup or play off runs.
What im saying is u had a good 8 to 10 years above us to build your fan base.
It realy is nit that hard to understand and not even said we have a bigger fan base.
Keep up boy ffs

If u look again it went down to 13k.
And over then next few years slowley went up.
But lets not gorget u had that clown hamman giving out huge wages to has been players and allso pushing for playoffs .
We in our first season had 15 k along with our second.
Bare in mind we had only just got there and had little publicity or success.
To cut a long story short for the last 10 years u have been in the top flight and second tier and had cup runs.
We hav only had 5 years in the top flight and second tier, before that we were lower league.

For the halfwit going on about our 1st season in the champ, we were at NP then - our crowds almost doubled when we went to our new stadium - just like yours. The Family Stand in NP could only hold 1000 -the 6000 Family Stand at CCS has been sold out form day 1 to now. if we added another tier to this stand and gave it up to families we'd most likely sell that out too.
Also you can't have it both ways - the JBs are trying to say our crowds home and away are only so good this year because it's our first season up. then saying our crowds in the champ were only good because we were in it so long. make your feckin minds up![]()
it shouldn't be a big deal to them - Cardiff is a bigger city and the in the Valleys our support outnumbers the jacks by miles - 800k-1m people live in the valleys. We've got a huge catchment area, so hardly surprising that when all things are equal we get better crods.
In Swansea's promotion season, a year when we were neck and neck on the pitch, both in our new grounds, probably the season where there would be the fairest comparison of our respective support- our home support was 40-50% more than theirs our away support 40-50% more. How on earth they can claim their support is as big as ours after that I don't know.

Really ? ...
2003–04 Cardiff City F.C. season - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003–04_Cardiff_City_F.C._season
Average home league attendance, 15,569
This at a ground which could only hold about 17000 home fans at the time.

So how come if cardiff is such a big club, that not long ago you were getting 5000 crowds and why did it take 51yrs to get back into the top division. Swansea can match anything cardiff can generate when it comes to support.
