How anyone can mock our support v Newcastle is beyond me.

Give me examples?
We took 11k preston 80.took more to u then u ever took to us in the 3.3 draw.5k at least.
Liverpool 8k sheff ute 5 k.bury 6 k.
Since the 80s its been the same


I'm one of the few on here that like your posts, but we took approx. 5 and a half to you on New Years Day 1980, the 'hark now hear' song came from that day, your fans have never sung about that day much, cos ours is true...overall we have the better away support by a fair bit, as for today I don't blame any Jack for not going, I wouldn't have myself in the same situation.

There is a video that has been posted on here in the past that showes the amount of fans we took to u.
We are in 3 sidea of the ground, its when it was 3 all and that stunning goal from one of yours.
As for having much bigger away support , I dont buy in to it.
We have been very much the same with u edging it.
But these days no club can claim better .
It all goes down to how each team are doing in the season.

From memory the grange end held 4000 and that was almost full. There were jacks in both enclosures and some in the canton but looking at the footage there were more Cardiff than Swansea. I would guess that there were approx 6000 jacks on that day.

Agreed, but it was a Saturday. Also, Everton is an hour further for us, so the difference is a measly two hours

Honestly, no. The South Wales Echo at the time reported that we took 7,000 to yours in that season ! You brought about 4 grand to us, we took approx. 5 and a half to yours, it doesn't really matter, but that is the truth.

I was at that game and remember it well. Jacks were only in the Grange end and one side of the enclosure (lower grand stand) The other side of the lower granstand was then called the family enclosure which was 90% Cardiff but few Jack family's were in there too (that's where I was with my Dad) the upper grandstand all the way accross was All Cardiff, so was the Canton and Bob bank. It was a good Turnout by their standards but about 4k tops.

Bolton is about the same distance as Everton. We took about 1,300 there in the 4th round.
