I counted yesterdays protest marchers.

I would say there was 1500 outside Napier . Add a few on from the ninian and probably around 2000 is the correct number . Which is very good , no need to exaggerate numbers

Absolutely not. Police figures state just over 4k. I'd rather rely on those numbers than your rough estimate.

The Police and highways dept have confirmed the march had over 4,000 on it

The person who made this topic, continually down the march before we even had it, but now because everything went well he has now tried another tactic

What would be nice, if these so called city fans say, yes well done to you all, everything went well and u proved the doubters wrong, but hey, some only have one agenda as they say.

You've defo got me wrong there and need to read the start of this thread again. I would have been on the march but couldn't because I was worried about the negative nature of some of our fans. Don't try and write me off because I offered an alternative view to yours. I haven't made anything up on this thread. I just want cardiff to survive as a club (a Premier League club). All those who bang down on the reasoned voice never offer a viable alternative to Tan's money. Like it or not we could go out of existence due to the ill thought out actions of a minority.

A Premier league club. Well that sums you up.

We all want Cardiff to survive but as Cardiff City FC, known as the Bluebirds playing in our true identity. If we have not got that then we are nothing.

Now we see your true side.

I'm 57 and no doubt been supporting Cardiff since before you were born. Unless you can genuinely admit to being older than 17.

Obviously your ambition is to see city playing Barry Town ..... but wearing blue of course.

No doubt there'd be room in the squad for you as well.

There are enough people on here who know me in real life and will be laughing at your post here.

If you would have taken the time to look at my profile instead of letting your anger post for you then you would have discovered I am not far behind you in the years stake.

I have actually seen City play in Barry at Jenner Road and have done the Hartlepool Rochdale grounds although I am not one of the famous 9.

who are the famous 9 ?

Lets be honest. The organisers said thats what the police said. The police havent said anything officially. I was there and cant believe that figure. It doesnt matter anyway as it was a great sight and gotthe message heard.

no one else believes the figure of a one eyed copper either Craig.We all saw roughly how many attended,no need to lie.

I believe my fellow city fans word over the police any day.

depends i suppose where you counted, ive seen plenty of footage but only actually saw the march within the car park.......seemed to be a lot more than 1200 walking past the Ninian pub, but at least a third walking that way left the march at the junction of sloper rd........i doubt there was even a thousand outside the main entrance,which of course was where the march was too..............within the ground it was a fantastic effort from the thousands and thousands that deliberately wore blue, the question has never been do more than 10% prefer blue.it is do they want it at the expense of tan.....

Didnt anyone think think to count? trust say 3000, echo said 1500, annis says 4000. Who have the official number?

I applaude the people who got off their are to make a point. The show of scarfs was class.they are walking the talk and not keyboard warriors

Didnt anyone think think to count? trust say 3000, echo said 1500, annis says 4000. Who have the official number?

its not easy ......where do you count?
and you have to take into account that the road from Canton to Sloper road would have lots of people on it at that time on a match day anyway..........
but...the march was for BLUE........and no matter how many marched,within the bowl,which is where Tan really gets to have a good look it was the most blue ive seen at the CCS...its the one place he can not avoid it.

It was broadcast as "prove tan wrong" and pro blue march. Just would be interesting to know the real number
Btw. Tan didnt seem to give a fok, even laughed at the tan is a wanker song mid first half..

It was way over 1500, closer to 3,000 but not 5,000 that some have mentioned. Its irrelevant anyway as it went really well and looked the part. The inside of the ground was really impressive on 19:27 and hopefully that will continue into every game.

Totally agree with you, it looked the part and most importantly the support for blue on 19:27 was even better. I think it's hard to judge on how many marched, Ive been in a fair few escorts at away games and I can't remember being in an escort as big as the march, for me had to be at least 3000.

Classic fail on his part there Baked

I know this isn't going to be a popular post but as a really committed City fan I just wanted to inject a realistic view of the numbers in yesterdays march.

I didn't walk the walk, mainly because, even though I'd like City to play in blue, I was worried that some fans, possibly fuelled with drink, would take the chance to make it a match against Tan and I don't think that's a solution we need just now.

Anyhow I waited close to the supporters club office to lend my applause to the finishing marchers and I also decided to do a head count. Obviously I didn't count every single person but took an average of how many were passing me over a given period and working from there. I think my numbers would be as close as anyone else's, particularly the press and media who take great delight in reporting via comments like 'many thousands marched' etc.

I reckon around 1200 went past me. If I allow an error of another 300 then the total looked to me to be about 1500 tops and defo not the 5000 I've seen mentioned elsewhere.

That's an honest opinion and not meant as any slight on our fans but just a genuine reflection on what I saw.

Skewett not being funny, but are you special needs

I haven't made anything up on this thread.

Apart from the fact that you tried to count the marchers and got 1200.

Barry there's some right fuckwits posting on here these days

Lol

We all want the same thing in the end.....

We've probably say next to each other on a bus as well.

So the police number is an exact figure is it ?
No it is also an estimate and I will believe my own eyes thanks , nowhere near 4k and that's a fact

I'd say that police who are experienced in these situations would be a far more reliable source than someone who has slated the march all week on here.

Police stated it was. Now that is an actual fact.

More experienced in counting, you think?

However many it was and it was definitely more than1300 the protest went well a good turn out well behaved and the feelgood factor helped with the atmosphere in the first half especially. I think there were a lot of people who were worried about different aspects of the protest and hopefully now after yesterday they won't be deterred about being involved in any future event.

You would have had a more accurate figure if you'd have stood on sloper road, at least 2/3 of the people on the march didn't make the main entrance had split off to enter the stadium, spread across the whole carpark and took the other route past the sandmartin

Still im not getting why no one figured out to do an official count. We could argue bout baking instead

Class post of the year I counted all the protesters 61 62 63 "Hiya skewet" Oh shite dont talk to me 1 2 3 4 5 oh ive ran out of fingers 1 2 3 4 5 you can I borrow your hand mate 6 7 8 9 10 oh ive ran out of fingers again.

Should have asked some of the jacks on here to count would have been easier

Take it as a sign they are worried Annis.

Some of the posts on here last night trying to belittle the effort put in has been pathetic. It's the same posters reverting to pedantic statements. Roath Magic came out with a classic when I informed him the authorities, police, numbered the march at over 4000. His reply was the police always exaggerate and consider other factors like shoppers who get dragged into such marches. How many shops are there along Sloper Road. The guy thinks we take him serious but in reality he comes out with such statements that are unbelievable that it reminds you of the old man sitting in the corner of a pub because he keeps going on about war stories. Just smile, pat them on the head and leave them in their fantasy world alone.

You are the total flip side of him though Ian. Sitting the opposite corner of the pub saying stuff like lots of people wanted to save the club etc.

Agree Nukes this is the stupidest post i have ever seen on this Forum, he counted all the people passing by FFS !!!

Whether 1500, 2500, 4000 or 5000 each and every number guessed at shows it has grown exponentially from the BU march and proves that fans will back organised protest to get blue back.

Well done to all.

Sanity at last

When the march was in Sloper Road it spread from the Gates almost back to the end of Sloper Road, which must be close to 130 yards.

There did not seem to be as many people chanting at the main entrance as there were on the march.

I suggest that there was a large number marching but quite a few left when they got to the stadium, preferring to go to their seats. So they would not have gone past the supporters shop.


Your survey is worthless.

Spot on Ian

Fair play that made me laugh....

But it's no more unreliable than someone getting 4000 from looking down the street behind them.

Doesn't matter to me how many were there as many couldn't or wouldn't go on a march for many reasons. Looked to me like 3-4000.

What mattered was the crowd inside the ground and the huge majority wearing blue. I would say that 90% in ground were in blue. When we went 2-1 up yesterday and the ground was singing are you watching Vincent tan and the dictator got up and walked away for a short time was fantastic.

Over last 2 years not much has made me proud following city. Yesterday was fantastic. A few beers before game with some good people. Watching a large number voice their disapproval from Napier to stadium was great. 26,000 ccfc fans united in their support for bluebirds during game was fantastic. I just hope that tan was listening. Sadly I doubt it.

you are not employed by Vinny are you? Hope you put your slippers on and smoke your pipe when we are back in blue.

does it matter how many protested. from the family end i could see blue and white everywhere. i know people who didnt march but brought blue and white scarf. VT could not hide from that!!

Police ESTIMATE is not bang on the figure is it..so not a fact.
