Hallelujah

If Tan sells the attendances will go through the roof also those bloody red seats.

No it won’t

Not sure about 'through the roof' but there's sure to be an increase along with a bit of a feel good factor and, if (and it's a big if) it's on it's way to being done after a few weeks there'll be an upsurge in season ticket sales.
PS. I don't think we'll be losing the red seats any time in the near future.

If we get on a decent roll crowds will improve. That would be the case whether Tan is running us or one of these groups.

Sorry to be pessimistic but I'll believe all this if and when it happens. Which I really hope it does.
Not going to get carried away yet

Don’t think you realise how many people will return once Tan leaves. There’s many people out there that said they won’t go down until Tan is gone. I’m one of them.

You have to wonder how many just use it as an excuse to not go or have now got out of the habit of going.

I don’t know why people would use it as an excuse. For me, it doesn’t feel like my club anymore. It needs a bit of heart and soul injected back into it and that can only be done under a new regime.

It’s not thousands. It’s not enough to fill the stadium from the crowds of 15k we are likely to get at the start of the season.

This. About 50 gave in their season tickets when we went to Red.

They stayed Cardiff fans and went while we were winning the championship under Malky, then stayed in the premier league season. They then stopped going when we were under Slade and selling players galore. When Warnock took us back up the top then started again and stayed for the premier league season. Then bit by bit they have stopped going as each season has gone badly.

They will be back if we start winning and will stay away if we don’t.

The figures to back this up are the attendance figures over the time Tan has been our owner. When we were winning / premier league we were selling out.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think we will be close to sellout games because of a change in owner. But I do think maybe 2/3k will come back. Just an opinion. You can’t compare the premier league though, the stadium wasn’t filled with proper Cardiff fans.

Probably right but the game v Reading where we secured promotion was and that was a sellout.

It’s like when Rick Wright had us winning and Sam too. Suddenly crowds were a lot higher then when we were mid table Championship we had 11k crowds.

It’s not just us that’s similar for all clubs but we have a very big catchment area which catches fire when we are successful.

I do think our core is higher now though and is at about 15k

It would feel less like your club because you turned you back on your club when it needed you most.

Shut up you fool.

Ive probably gone down a rabbit hole here, but I wonder if it could be the owner of the South African club the Sundowns, they have won the league for the last 6 or 7 seasons and he sits as president of the Confederation of African Football, he’s worth just under 3 Billion making his money in gold and minerals i think, but is football mad.

Probably not him as I said I went down a rabbit hole researching SA Billionaires and landed on him, would be too good to be true I reckon ?

And we randomly played the sundowns in a pre season friendly last year

Of course you’re going to say that, you share the same opinion as him. To me, embracing the rebrand was turning your back on the club. That’s all I’m going to say on the matter otherwise it’s going to get ugly.

Just couldnt see why Johann Rupert would get involved specifically with us.

As we are all admitting to going down rabbit holes looking for potential owners.....

What about Donald Gordon's sons? Donald was a South African Businessman and not sure what links he has to Wales but has gave 10 million so that we could build the Millenium Centre down the bay. The auditorium has his name.

He died in 2019 but has three kids!

I think a takeover would initially at least see our attendances shoot up particularly if it was the Bale led group.
That would be fantastic to get some real atmosphere and positivity around the place (God it's been so long since there's been some positivity down there).
If we can then dispose of 'Mr sour grapes' Nash we can get some real atmosphere going down there.
Fingers crossed our beloved Bluebirds will soon be flying high where they deserve to be.
Here's hoping

Motsepe is who I was alluding too further up the thread.

Not sure why he would want us or what the connection could be to Cardiff though ? However as another poster mentioned we did play them (sundowns) in a one off pre season game last year, was that the start of him making his move back then ?

Interesting posts about the fan return.

There won’t be a flood. Most have lost the habit.
I’m older fans were still coming to terms with the new stadium

Many like me saying, ILL GIVE IT ANOTHER YEAR
That was before the red.

I still keep giving it another year lol.

Swap ends please new owner. It’s dying in there!!!

So when exactly did you stop going because of Mr Tan Mr T??

People talking about crowds.

There's one thing that will see us have good crowds and one thing alone - a winning team.

To get good crowds, you just have to win a decent amount of games. Doesn't matter what league it's in.

Fans who say they won't go because of Tan didn't seem to think that when we were going up from the Championship or when we had big games in the Premier League. Neither did they say that when we've played Swansea.

A winning team is what brings in crowds. I think we'll be towards the top of the league this season, certainly around the top six at least and that will see us have decent crowds.

At least 50% of the train carriage full that used to go stopped on rebrand.

I nowadays, that group is on one hand.

Some have gone down to the odd one game here and there.
But they ve completely lost the habit

I think Tan is at the centre of it all.
Rebrand
Red seats
Worm
Silence
Nash
Whatever excuse now.

A winning team needs to be on and off the pitch
