You seem to want to make an issue out of the attendance every game annis


Spot on and yes I do good or bad attendances, Ive followed crowds from every club in England/Wales and Scotland since I was 7 years old and they interest me very very much.

For me without fans there is NO club.

But I Love reading the crowds of all clubs after every clubs matches :thumbright: :thumbright:


Problem is annis the pictures you use are always of the grandstand. This is always the emptiest part of the stadium. The prawn sandwich brigade only want the big games and lower grandstand have worked out they can have equivalent ticket in ninian for half the price.

If you get pics of the Ninian and centre blocks of Canton it would look totally different



i am on level 4 and wed it looked fairly full compared to other games :old:

So what! Blackburn brought 200 fans .a club that has rewarded their supporters by winning the premier league and played a grand total of 71 years in the top flight. So if you use that as a yardstick .you me or anybody else owes your preferred football no loyalty what so ever

I was on my hols in Spain like many others who will be away at this time of year.

Honestly not looking forward to games anymore it just feels so different since the rebrand killed off the spirit.
That said i will be there i just hope the club do more to lift our match day experience like wising up the over the top stewarding.

Be fair, its hardly thrilling these days.
And before anyone lectures me, im an 80's veteran. Ive been through all the shit years.
Just my view.


Totally agree with you.

I've been going since mid 90s and season ticket since around 2002.

We had 10 years of price freeze, playoffs/possible premier, season in premier league, promotions to get cup final tickets if you bought a season, last year in Ninian park, first season in CCS.

Before all that our attendance was 10-14k. We have now settled back to that.

Some fans have left for various reasons. Tan/poor football etc. But many have been replaced by new fans.

Our ground it obviously going to look empty with 21k empty seats.

I just don't get why the issue every game.

The first posts about it from Anni's/Carl come within first 10 minutes of the game and continue until the next game

Annis that is block 116/117. A lot of fans like myself have moved from there last season as we were told our seasons were not available in that area due to segregation.

Majority have moved further along Ninian stand or in to the Canton. Some were still allowed to buy their seats in block 117, which I was told I wasn't allowed.

No what people are saying is there are reasons why people didn't turn up. Work/hols etc.

The ground is going to look empty, there are 21000 empty seats which are never going to be filled for championship football.

The club would be better of closing family stand and the grandstand and filling Ninian and Canton

I have a season ticket and I didn't make the game - I live in Surry and it's not possible to get to every evening game.

Trying to use Tan as an excuse as to why 4000 people didn't turn up is utter rubbish again - if they were that pissed with him, they wouldn't have got a season ticket on the first place!

I think people like you wont be able to turn up gor evety match ,what I find hard to believe that 4000 didn't turn up like annis has stated couple of hundred yes 4000 no I was at a game last year I think it was Brighton early kick off and there was only 11k there and it seem much more emptierthan Wednesday
