" ALL JOKES ASIDE THIS HAS TO BE THE LOWEST EVER "

Can't say the fans are not getting their money's worth.

Slades tactical ineptness is actually making for more exciting matches albeit not good for the ticker

Liking this, if we had a manager who knew what the f**k he was doing, that would have been a boring 2-0 victory

Annis it was more like 8/9000 tops

I enjoyed tonight. Canton was a decent atmosphere but still for me not the passion that I have know city fans for.

Next season they should swap canton and Grange end. Very obvious to help atmosphere.

Also 100 quid season tickets anywhere in ground pus 50 for kids.

It's not rocket science.

Slade is luck I feel for that late goal. Fans would have turned on him at kick off.

Annis it was more like 8/9000 tops

Looked under 0k to me. Also Brentford had about 500 to 600 I think

Crowd at the Cardiff City Stadium for a League game

CCFC v BRENTFORD

12,279 Crowd

Plus It was a £5 for Kids and £10 for Adults

Some Good News the singing is louder by City fans than on Sat

Annis it was more like 8/9000 tops

Ive been told about 9,500 City fans, very sad

At a guess I said 10,000 and I expected that, we can keep going on about it but fans have totally lost interest, some money about expense but good offers and simply can't give tickets away. But the lads in the Canton tonight was top effort with less numbers.

We all know to many who can't be bothered, that's their choice but have really enjoyed the last 3 games albeit throwing two games and nearly 3 away

I think it's relative.

When we went on a run in the old fourth division under Rick Wright we had been in the doldrums for so long that the crowds were massive for us at the same time. Same again when we smashed the title. Huge following home and away. Then we went up crowds were good for a bit then receded as we started to lose more in a higher division. We went back down and even when we were back in the playoffs (when we lost to Northampton) the crowds weren't as big as that first run of success under Rick Wright.

This followed when Frank Burrows took us up. The crowds were higher but still not 17k like Rick Wright run Cardiff had. We then went back up and down again and the crowds never reached the peak they had done.

Finally returning to the dungeon apart from a few cup matches the crowds were quite low. People were used to relative success so anything less didn't pull them in.

Finally Sam took us over. Crowds increased steadily as money was spent and progress was made. We went up and made a decent fist of it. However we lost to Stoke in the play offs and the following season didn't start greatly so again the crowds went down. That season we went up via the playoffs to huge amounts of Cardiff fans at the Mill Stad. The following season, our first for ages in the second tier again saw big crowds. Expensive signings saw interest increase massively. But, as success didn't come straight away interest again diminished until Black Friday and crowds lower even than we had in the dungeon.

Racing to the top of the league under Dave Jones playing great football saw Ninian park sold out regularly. But, as the season limped to its conclusion tickets were far easier to come by. A relative quiet period of consolidation in the championship would have meant average crowds had it not been for the FA Cup Final raising our profile and enabling us to sell loads of season tickets. More trips to Wembley enabled artificially high numbers of season tickets sold in our new stadium until Tan and Malky took the now Red kitted Cardiff City to the championship title and big crowds in the CCS. This continued in the premiership where huge clubs visiting meant season tickets were sold out and sell outs every week.

The bubble was bound to burst and without a cup final or premiership football to sell season tickets for we reverted to type and the sellouts finished.

As shown in the past success is relative. Years back 7th in the championship would have meant big crowds but we have been higher so it's now a bit boring. It's not just us it's the same at most clubs. Can't get a ticket for love nor money to Leicester but last time they were in the Premiership under O Neill they hardly ever sold out.

It's the way of the world. Success will bring the fans back it will just take longer to catch on.

Don't always agree with your post but this my friend is spot on good post

And if season tickets go on sale with city looking at the possibility of rising again sales will be ok, get promoted ? The panic buying will start.

Cheers. The quicker you come over to my way of thinking the more I will think you are too a genius.

Forever Blue - I know you've been going for years like myself and you must remember while it's not great at moment things have been a lot worse in past times - Ninian park was 2/3 empty on many occasions in the 90's

But no other club has gone through such a thing as a rebrand.

Like it or not that has cost us thousand of fans.

Indirectly, the rebrand has cost us thousands of fans, however, a lot of fans who tolerated the "Red" we're infact long-standing loyal supporters who travelled Home and away.

They were made to feel not welcome, sell-outs , and I know myself that many suffered intimidation which they didn't expect.

What's is laughable is that the most vocal of some of these fans are now not attending.

The amount of excuses that people come out with for not attending is almost laughable.

I'm just waiting for somebody to tell me that they no longer go because they didn't put a Cardiff City player in orbit instead of Tim Peake.

It's been reversed. They said they wouldn't step foot in CCS until we were blue again. We are and they ain't.

Ian the fans who stopped coming did when we were red. When we were red we were selling CCS out so they aren't really a factor. I doubt it is thousands affected by this. In that I mean they wouldn't be coming now anyway. Yes a die hard few but newer fans will have replaced them who kept coming after the Premiership year.

Disagree with you Neil. Most I have met say they will not return until Tan has gone.

Besides the rebrand was with us for too long that most of those will not come back even if Tan leaves. The damage has been done.

Annis it was more like 8/9000 tops

Ive been told about 9,500 City fans, very sad

To many false promises made, the tide has turned and it's going to be difficult to turn it back!

There's probably a number who think that but there would have been many who carried on coming after the Premiership season. We will never know the true figures.

Correct

I was in a party on Saturday night for a City lad who was home from Oz after 4 years. First time weve all been together in one place since the Carling Cup Final most probably.

Of about 40 lads there, most who would have been going since teenagers from the late 80s / early 90s, only 1 of them I spoke to still had a season ticket. They had all broken the habit and now its broken very difficult to get back into it.

The damage is done.

Did they go during the championship winning and Premiership season?
