3,691 in the canton stand
4,962 in the family stand
1,321 benefit from the first class hospitality.
Do you think we can sell 20,000 season tickets in the near future?
" A snap shot of the REMARKABLE RISE is listed here ;- "
2004 - 9,921 season tickets
2005 - 8,018 season tickets
2006 - 6,525 season tickets
2007 7,459 season tickets
2008 - 8,757 season tickets
2008 - 14,086 season tickets
new stadium
2009 15,968 season tickets
2010 17,857 season tickets
i have to say theres so much i disagree with here....
firstly why people put the titles of new topics in speach marks "" really irritakes me, not as if your directly quoting anything. and surely makign a topic is enough to show its 'you' thats writting something.
secondly who ever does marketing, if anyone, should be shot. we are a capitol city with no real large teams near us, so basically the area is all our pool to get our own fans in and yet we cant sell out our stadium, ever ! we have i read a fan base of 60/40 ratio of cardiff fans ....from outside the city itself and inside. to me thats shocking and we should sell out with ease with even basic marketing.
we have only sold 400 more than last season so the inscrease is minmal. yes from 10 years ago its huge but that sonly because we have been successful, got promoted and put out a competative team and a new stadium. those crowds would of increased like this with or without marketing as its natural due to on and off the field circumstances.
lastly i dont think we can sell 20000 ST as we have to keep a certain percentage to away fans and for general sale for each game so unless we extend the capacity i dont think we can.

Firstly, I was correct to use speech marks as I was qouting the information from Saturday's CF11.
Secondly, this is a messageboard and not a GCSE English lesson, if it were I am sure you would be marked low for your spelling and grammer e.g speach is actually spelt speech, inscrease I believe should read increase and I think you meant only not sonly etc etc.
Finally, I was sending the message through a smartphone in the passenger seat of a car.
