Still can't answer my question then? :lol: here's a clue.

YOU CANNOT FIT ANY MORE NEW FANS INTO A CROWD THAT IS ALREADY SOLD OUT TOWARDS THE END OF LAST SEASON.

There is simply not the room for them. You've bored me enough now. :sleepy2: I won't be replying anymore.

PM me if you need any more maths lessons. :thumbup:

There will easily be 4,000 new fans next year, they just wont all be able to attend at the same time. i.e spread over 19 matches

Your assuming those additionals who attended the end of season matches are all old fans? They include the new fans we can expect next season

You need to look at the season as a whole. You often see home gates totalled for a season, next year will be higher than this year, quite simple.

I dont think one or two games count, but football is about opinions as they say :thumbright:

How much are you willing to bet Chuckles and we won't have any new fans coming to games next season?

How about giving a few quid to a charity when you're found to be wrong?

Nothing, I don't bet. :thumbup:

It's a physical impossibility to fit in any more fans than we had currently at the last few games. :thumbup: the club would break many fire and health & safety regulations by doing so. M

It was a sell out, fan numbers cannot increase without any expansion. expansion is only rumoured at the moment. :thumbup:

Of course you won't. I don't either but only a good cause would benefit anyway.

That wasn't what I was saying though was it? I'm done here, I think posters will read this and see for themselves. :thumbright: :wave:

Difference between us and you is that we have a solid hardcore, you lot never did. Lets be honest, most of your fans support Liverpool/United on the sly, it's a well known fact down there. I know a fair few who have changed allegiance because of premier league football.

Go on planet Swamp, there's a topic on there every week regarding plastic supporters. There club had to say no away shirts in the home end when they played United. Let them carry on and pretend all these new fans are loyal supporters since the days of the Vetch but iv'e probably been more times than they have.

Top 10 team with top 50 fans.

When a team is doing good you will always see glory hunters. The difference between Cardiff and Swansea is that Cardiff have more loyal fans and plastics except most of these plastics cannot watch a game because of the amount of loyal fans with season tickets.

There are probably more plastics in your stadium than loyal fans IMO. As soon as you drop down again their will be a significant difference.

We might be MK Cardiff and a horrible plastic club due to the rebrand but our fans have always been always will be top class, especially away from home. We travel in numbers the Jacks can only dream of, we have captured our city and it's surrounding area support more than the Jacks can dream of.

:lol: :lol:

Iv'e said on here in the past that fighting at the football nowadays is sad and comes across as embarrassing. We are passed that now and we take huge numbers, men, women and children to support our team. I guarantee we won't have an away following less than 500 in the next two years of our stay whereas you've had numerous.

so then the last few games which sold out were all corporate and the old boys , do me a favour , its nice of you to put a positive spin on it,there will thousands there just because its the premier league.

We had 20k season ticket holders in our last season in the championship. How many did you have in your last season there? You took 32k to Wembley but only averaged 11k at home in that season. Every club has plastic/glory hunters. What's your point?

There's bound to be plastic & rugby fans sniffing around for tickets, I know one or two of the latter who are considering giving up ST's with The Blues to try and get tickets to watch us.
My advice to them was be careful as it will be tough to get tickets, it wasn't the same down West, if people wanted tickets they could get them & did!
The bottom line is we have had for a few seasons more ST holders than the total of home fans you have had in your ground.
It must be really tough for you to take, but it's fact so deal with it! :malky:
