CROWD FOR SAT ?

I'm not getting carried away with the hype. If we get more than 18500 I'll be very surprised and pleased.

With the way the Media , Steve Morison , many fans have have been getting excited and we are playing ex Prem Norwich first game, on a Sat , 3pm, pay on the day, not on tv etc etc it’s all perfect, so we should get at least 22,000.

Can't see the rail strike having much effect on Norwich's support when a return train ticket cost £160.

I think a lot of their away support comes from places other than Norwich. Quite a few from London.

Can’t remember them ever bringing many by coach.

I’d be impressed and surprised if they bring 2k

I agree with you on this Tim, but I will say their fans are very loyal and travel long journeys.

You are right we should get 22k but i don’t see it happening i have gone for 19k and hope i am way below the figure

I have not seen this excitement by the media and many fans for many years , so if they are really this excited then they should turn up.

I will be very disappointed if less than 22,000.

We have 14,000 season ticket holders.

I will be happy to be totally wrong and you be right regarding this matter

22k sounds about right? If got 14k st holders say 2k Norwich if lucky.. that's 16k we on average get 4k walk up crowd have done for yrs.. so about 20k allow new season surge 22k about what can expect as for season 19k will be average unless of course we are successful given no strikers at moment that's going to be a difficult task.... but malkys team did it on several players getting 10+ goals each so possible...

I don't think the hype is incredible outside our little bubble.

We have come off three ever-worsening seasons with a squad of players who could only play one way and when that stopped working all you were left with was a terrible team to watch, which at one point deserved to be in League one.

I think this time last year the club knew the squad was a sack of poo but took to the gamble that Mick pragmatism would see us alright so we relied on the crap that NW bought and threw a few kids in as we are very sympathetic to our lads.

We needed that to have this summer. I am happy with the way the club has gone about change and i am really excited which i can't say for last season, but i was going to turn up even if we still had that same dross as last year....

We are a club of 16k~17K regulars that can double when things are going well in a blink of an eye. Its those 17K we need to attract and although they are good players none of our new recruits are household names, so we are going to need to be top 10 by the world cup break to see the crowds increase IMO.

a sparse looking 18k is my guess, its only the first day of the school hols

Can't see the rail strike having much effect on Norwich's support when a return train ticket cost £160.

I think a lot of their away support comes from places other than Norwich. Quite a few from London.

Can’t remember them ever bringing many by coach.

I’d be impressed and surprised if they bring 2k

I know at least 2 Norwich supporters who live quite locally, 1 in Barry, 1 in Port Talbot. I'll be reasonably happy if we exceed 20000.

We really should be getting 25k plus with the hype around our new players and top class opposition.

Sadly Im gonna say 20k, as its going to take a long time to win back the '000's lost due to the regimes failure to work closely with the fans and build any sort of relationship, the apparabt failure to back Morison with minimal funds for the missing pieces to our fairly decent jigsaw and their knack of distancing themselves from their customers ( sorry long suffering supporters)

Im still going for win, and will be backing those on the pitch fighting for the points.

Early start to the season, just at the start of the kids summer holidays all Championship teams will sell less for the first five six weeks with families on holiday. If we do well we will see a big increase, sadly if we do badly we will see a drop off again, it will be the same for every club in the League, bar the two or three favorites.

18000 to 19000 first five games

What makes you say we really should be getting 25k plus? That simply isn’t our level. We’re not that big.

That’s an exceptionally large crowd that we rarely got even in our promotion seasons. 20k and 22k average attendance in both promotion seasons respectively. We had 6 25k+ crowds in Malky’s promotion season and 3 25k+ crowds in Warnock’s. Unsurprisingly almost all of them were towards the end of the season when we looked like going up.

As for “top class opposition” the types of fans who turn up depending on who we’re playing aren’t turning up for Norwich.

You’re just setting us up to fail so you can have another pop at the “regime”, you’ve already started getting your talking points in here.

Would 20k really be a disappointing crowd to you? Genuinely? That’s 3k higher than last seasons opener and would probably be the 2nd highest attendance of the opening weekend behind Sunderland, possibly 3rd.

I have to agree with Jonny,

If it’s true everyone is the most excited they have been for years by these 12 new signings, everyone believes in Morison, the board and media are really hyping it up for months now.

With our cheap prices, first game of the season, not on tv, 3pm, not cold weather , on a Saturday, v an ex premier league club, they have a good following, why not a crowd of 22,000-25,000.

If we were playing them in the Premier then it would be 33,000 and No excuses.

If everyone is as excited as many are saying on here, then I can’t see why we can’t get a crowd like that.

The hype by Media Wales & Steve Morison for this coming season started the end of April / May .

We are talking about 12 exciting new signings.



For me 20,000 or below would be disappointing as there are NO excuses.
It would mean only about 18,000 Cardiff fans, no better than last season, yet this season , this is the most exciting everyone is saying.


Also it’s not like we are playing Rotherham.

But it should not matter who the opposition is as we have 12 new players.

Like someone else has already said, people on here are the most excited for a while but I doubt the general population is and it won't make any difference to the crowd size so anywhere near 20k would be good with 18k more likely.

I'm excited for the new season but I won't be flying over 5,000 miles to attend the game because of it no matter how excited I am. We don't all have Annis money.

Any idea how many tickets sold
Would be hoping for at least 20,000 for the first game of the season with a completely new team
Looking forward to this
be down on the friday making a weekend of it.

At least two, as I can guarantee myself and GrangeEndStar will be there; and likely three, if you don't have a sore head...

Seriously, I'll be surprised if we hit 20k for this one and I'll predict 16.5k for the sole reason we don't have a massive walk-up other than the really 'big' games

22,700

SVEN


I would put the opening game of the season with a brand new team
playing last years prem team
as one of the big games of the season
Like i said me and the misses will be there we could sit apart making it look fuller in the stadium.
Lets just hope we put in a good performance.

18000 to 19000 first five games

I am a bit shocked at you Mark coming up with excuses about our crowds.
These same fans had No problem when we were in the Prem.

Mark,

These are the excuses just a few of dozens, it’s a school day, it’s cold, it’s raining, hard to park due to Xmas shopping, it’s October when everyone is saving for Xmas, it’s windy, football boring, it’s in tv, it’s not 3pm , it’s not a Saturday, it’s to close to Xmas, it’s January everyone is skinny etc etc etc etc

Why do we have to make so many excuses?

If our fans really want to come they will, if others don’t then we have a data base of 150,000 at our club, in the Prem others took their places.

When the games are vital our fans turn up.

My point is for 3months the media , a lot of fans, Morison, even the Comercial dept has had South Wales gripped with these 12 new signings and yes fans I meet from all other clubs are talking about us and asking my thoughts.

Everyone is saying how excited they are and believe we are in for an exciting season.
The football I will state has improved vastly under Neil Harris and even better under Steve Morison.

So if everyone really believes this? then yes I expect a bumper crowd.

It’s just not reasonable to expect 25k. Even when we’ve been top of the league and winning every week it’s touch and go whether we hit 25k. You’re mistaken if you think the excitement on here matches that of the general public. To fair weather fans there’s little to draw them in if they didn’t attend last season. No big name players, no famous manager, no Premier League.

I’m excited for the coming season because I think it’s got a good chance of being the most enjoyable football in years. My neighbours who don’t normally go down the CCS aren’t excited because unless you’re a fan, there’s little for the general public to be excited for.

As I said, 20k would be 3k more than last season and at worst 3rd biggest crowd in the division. Not too shabby in my opinion.

But your right it should not matter who the opposition is, but at most clubs that does matter, if your not in the Premier.

Always a Good Crowd - 1st Game of the season ..The Key is ...Hoe does this pan out for the rest of the season

The fans

Whichever way you look at it, the majority of fans have got what they asked for this summer.


By Glen Williams ( Junior reporter )



They wanted a raft of signings, ones which signal a changing of the guard, and they got just that. Like it or not, a summer like this, with transfer deals being announced left, right and centre, is riveting for football fans. If you're not enthused by them, then let's face it, what's the point?!

There was increased social media activity, more regular videos and interviews in pre-season and fans, generally, appear to feel far more engaged with it all.

Many have yearned for a change of footballing philosophy and they appear to have got just that. They also wanted Joe Ralls to re-sign, tick, and a snazzy new New Balance kit, tick (well, for the large majority, anyway!).

Yes, of course, fans want another striker or two in the building. That is being worked on behind the scenes. But, all things considered, their wishes have been granted this summer. With so much change, it is hoped that will afford the club time to get it right and supporters' patience will stretch a little longer if things don't click immediately on the pitch.

We really should be getting 25k plus with the hype around our new players and top class opposition.

Sadly Im gonna say 20k, as its going to take a long time to win back the '000's lost due to the regimes failure to work closely with the fans and build any sort of relationship, the apparabt failure to back Morison with minimal funds for the missing pieces to our fairly decent jigsaw and their knack of distancing themselves from their customers ( sorry long suffering supporters)

Even Glen Williams media Wales above says there has been much more hype / publicity from all depts and it’s what the majority wanted apparently and got it.

So no excuses if true.




The fans

Whichever way you look at it, the majority of fans have got what they asked for this summer.


By Glen Williams ( Junior reporter )



They wanted a raft of signings, ones which signal a changing of the guard, and they got just that. Like it or not, a summer like this, with transfer deals being announced left, right and centre, is riveting for football fans. If you're not enthused by them, then let's face it, what's the point?!

There was increased social media activity, more regular videos and interviews in pre-season and fans, generally, appear to feel far more engaged with it all.

Many have yearned for a change of footballing philosophy and they appear to have got just that. They also wanted Joe Ralls to re-sign, tick, and a snazzy new New Balance kit, tick (well, for the large majority, anyway!).

Yes, of course, fans want another striker or two in the building. That is being worked on behind the scenes. But, all things considered, their wishes have been granted this summer. With so much change, it is hoped that will afford the club time to get it right and supporters' patience will stretch a little longer if things don't click immediately on the pitch.

Family and myself driving down five of us, 23,000 bluebirds

We really should be getting 25k plus with the hype around our new players and top class opposition.

Sadly Im gonna say 20k, as its going to take a long time to win back the '000's lost due to the regimes failure to work closely with the fans and build any sort of relationship, the apparabt failure to back Morison with minimal funds for the missing pieces to our fairly decent jigsaw and their knack of distancing themselves from their customers ( sorry long suffering supporters)

Im still going for win, and will be backing those on the pitch fighting for the points.

What makes you say we really should be getting 25k plus? That simply isn’t our level. We’re not that big.

That’s an exceptionally large crowd that we rarely got even in our promotion seasons. 20k and 22k average attendance in both promotion seasons respectively. We had 6 25k+ crowds in Malky’s promotion season and 3 25k+ crowds in Warnock’s. Unsurprisingly almost all of them were towards the end of the season when we looked like going up.

As for “top class opposition” the types of fans who turn up depending on who we’re playing aren’t turning up for Norwich.

You’re just setting us up to fail so you can have another pop at the “regime”, you’ve already started getting your talking points in here.

Would 20k really be a disappointing crowd to you? Genuinely? That’s 3k higher than last seasons opener and would probably be the 2nd highest attendance of the opening weekend behind Sunderland, possibly 3rd.

I have to agree with Jonny,

If it’s true everyone is the most excited they have been for years by these 12 new signings, everyone believes in Morison, the board and media are really hyping it up for months now.

With our cheap prices, first game of the season, not on tv, 3pm, not cold weather , on a Saturday, v an ex premier league club, they have a good following, why not a crowd of 22,000-25,000.

If we were playing them in the Premier then it would be 33,000 and No excuses.

If everyone is as excited as many are saying on here, then I can’t see why we can’t get a crowd like that.

The hype by Media Wales & Steve Morison for this coming season started the end of April / May .

We are talking about 12 exciting new signings.



For me 20,000 or below would be disappointing as there are NO excuses.
It would mean only about 18,000 Cardiff fans, no better than last season, yet this season , this is the most exciting everyone is saying.


Also it’s not like we are playing Rotherham.

But it should not matter who the opposition is as we have 12 new players.

It’s just not reasonable to expect 25k. Even when we’ve been top of the league and winning every week it’s touch and go whether we hit 25k. You’re mistaken if you think the excitement on here matches that of the general public. To fair weather fans there’s little to draw them in if they didn’t attend last season. No big name players, no famous manager, no Premier League.

I’m excited for the coming season because I think it’s got a good chance of being the most enjoyable football in years. My neighbours who don’t normally go down the CCS aren’t excited because unless you’re a fan, there’s little for the general public to be excited for.

As I said, 20k would be 3k more than last season and at worst 3rd biggest crowd in the division. Not too shabby in my opinion.

Ok but if everyone is believing and so excited I personally beat then it should be a bumper crowd.

18,000 should be a Tuesday night v Rotherham and us mid table.

But your right it should not matter who the opposition is, but at most clubs that does matter, if your not in the Premier.

Do you think 21k isn’t a bumper crowd? If not, what is a bumper crowd in your eyes? Would you be disappointed with “only” 21k even though that’s several thousand more than we normally get for a bog standard championship match?

In the Championship?

Took a look at attendances on various sites and our average since 2013 range from 16k to 22k for championship and 31k for premier league....
Obviously attendance was higher than 22k with some games but shown are just average .
