after 3 years in the premiership the old slappers who wear the cowboy hats and daffodils will abandon the egg and come to watch the city in their droves :lol:

But we have two lots of fans now blues and pro reds. And most of the from england are anti rebrand as thier live with fans from other clubs who think we have been sold down the river. Fact.

:lol: It has nothing to do with the rebrand, we were getting crowds like this way before the rebrand was even known about :lol:
You and everyone else has an opinion and I respect that and yes, I agree we have lost some fans due to the rebrand but we have gained new fans since in my opinion.
I don't like the rebrand personally and I have reluctantly accepted it because I enjoy watching my team on the field but for people to jump on that bandwagon at every opportunity is getting very boring now, you should just try and enjoy the football that's being dished out to us and support the players and manager as we can not do anything about the rebrand, now that's a FACT!

Most "fans" I know who no longer go "because of the rebrand" are full of shit, and havent been regulars for a couple of seasons now.

Adam Brown being a prime example of the sort of "fan" who has apparently "made a stand" :roll:

Only TLG falls into the bracket of die-hard to no show and even he must realise now he has cut his nose off to spite his face.

Yes I am going on about our crowds for home games, we only hold 26,680 and weve been getting 22,000 crowds, yet Malky's team have been breaking all records this season and were months away from the Premier League, that we have not been to for 51 years. Surely but surely our home ends should be jammed packed every game?


Yes we should be selling out, we all know when we are in the prem next season we will sell out, so why these new fans don't back us now, who knows ? :x :x

I bet when we are up they will all be at the cellabration game :malky: :malky: :malky:

Well it's not a fact to me because I don't know anyone who's started supporting us this season.

The phone line to the ticket office is a Joke at the moment . Rang in Monday and Tuesday ... The Recorded voice kept me on the line for over two minutes telling me about the tickets available then eventually put me through when on both occasions no one picked up the phone. After further 3 minutes I fecking slammed down the phone. I drove down from Newport and all the staff I witnessed we're dealing with Season tickets renewals ... Not enough resource
