Burton Home- Attendance

Spot on again annis we really are the club who's attendance is determined by who the opposition is .if we were playing wolves this Friday or it was a premier league fixture I doubt there be any moaning about kick off time etc.were 2nd in the league ffs .

It really hurts to say and everyone will be going on about how great the attendance is v Wolves, they forget we had another 20 plus home games.

Our club deserves better support and we Cardiff City is surrounded by at least one million people, there are No excuses.

Like you say as well, put a big game on and all the excuses go out the window.

Got to agree but it’s never been any different and never will be, we have always been like that. We can draw some massive crowds when we feel like. We would be mid table in the premeriship for attendances, which is crazy when you think about how many years we have had in the top flight. We would draw sell outs for the big ones, and 25-27 for other games leaving is with an average 30,000 it would probably put us around 10th. People can have an opinion and argue they aren’t real fans and not going to watch the city but those figures won’t be far out.

Am passed the “ plastic “ tag and all that am happy when the crowd swells, yes it can frustrate but always said if that ground was 20,000 nothing would be said, even small crowds would be decent. On the plus side it allows us to grow and finance if we ever get back to the top division.

Wonder if they'll turn up up and down the country for the other Friday 3pm kick offs?.

That’s what I want to see as well ?

I expect all clubs to have bigger crowds than normal

What defines normal crowd? Can only compare same two teams playing each other previously on a good Friday as different clubs have different following ! I don't expect our crowd on Fri to be anymore that 16k like said silly time to play game on bank holiday Friday.

Allan, u know exactly what I mean.

If a club usually gets say 20,000 home crowd, then gets a few more thousand on Good Friday v an unfashionable team, then thats what I am comparing it to.

An example City only took a few hundred away to Wednesday on on Good Friday last season, Wednesday were getting 22,000 home crowds, they got over 28,000 for the Good Friday home game.

Its going to be interesting how the Championship clubs do regarding crowds.

Allan, For nearly 8 months many of u have been saying next month, next month the crowds will come, yet sadly they haven't.

Our Club/Team/Manager has done everything they can, in fact gone beyond to get the crowds to be bigger.

Our team have for nearly 7 months spent their time in the Top 2 of the Championship and we have had 15,000,16,000 crowds sometimes and an average home crowd which is about 14th in the Championship, to be honest about it, thats not just sad to see,but awful.

Fans on here have used well over a 100 excuses, yet v Leeds,Man City and Wolves soon the crowds have been massive, yet they were all on Sky and not 3pm's on Saturdays.

So some how No excuses then. I have said it before our prob is, many are not coming to watch Cardiff,they are only coming depending on who the opposition is.

Cheap tickets/Cheap season tickets.

All reasonable points, but I think that people having to work is a pretty genuine one, I'm sure you'd agree. I'll be there anyway, it's going to cost me approx £200, but looking forward to it.

100% Agree, Family commitments and Work, main priorities every time

100% agree same principle all over the country.but we should still be able to get decent crowds after all how many clubs have got a catchment area as big as ours?.

Your Spot on once again.

How many we expecting then? I'd imagine we'd have 19,000+ city fans there plus whatever Burton bring. Interest, belief and enthusiasm seems to of stepped up a notch since the Brentford game

Traditionally Bank Holiday and good Friday should. Mean higher than average attendances. Has always been the case. Against Burton we have the fact minimal away fans circa 400 won't help. Half of my city mates are not going but have already got wolves tickets, says it all fans pick and choose and wolves is seen as the big game

Predicted back at the start of March that we'll only get a small attendance for Burton, and that crowds will pick up for Wolves. Just hope that the momentum from Wolves carries on into the last two home games of the season, and next season!

Why not add this games match tickets to the wolves tickets everyone? One extra game and it could prove vital. Burton are certainly not a walk over and I think it could be a really tough match. Our players know we must keep winni now to keep the distance between us and villa and Fulham. We must try and win this even if it's just a scrappy goal. The crowd will play an important part but for those who are not sure whether to go - you could play a big part in our promotion. The crowd really help the players and we need as many voices as we can get down there.

We should really be getting 20,000 plus for this game even if burton have a low attendance.

I agree about Bank Holiday Monday games, and Easter Saturday, but it is unusual to play on Good Friday afternoon, when lots of people are in work.

My ticket for Burton turned up today
