" Cardiff City's Crowds "

2012/13 Average.
22,998.


2011/212 Average.
22,100.

Highest crowd 2012/13
26,558

Lowest crowd 2012/13
20,058.



Premier League attendances for 2012-13 have shown an increase of nearly 4% on the previous season.

The average attendance for a game in England's top flight was 35,975, up from 34,601 in 2011-12.

That rise has come during a difficult economic period, with the UK narrowly avoiding a triple-dip recession during the first quarter of 2013.

Crowds have fluctuated across Europe, with Barcelona's average gate down by more than 9,000, an 11% drop.

Attendances at Inter Milan have fallen by more than 3,000, but new German champions Bayern Munich have seen an average increase of around 2,000.


Did you know?

Wigan featured as the away team in six of the lowest Premier League attendances this season. Reading were involved in four of the lowest

Both Barcelona and AC Milan have seen their crowds drop by an average of 10,000 this season compared to last term
Ajax, Bayern Munich, Benfica, Juventus and PSG have bucked the downward trend across Europe with slight increases in their average attendances

Celtic's average SPL attendance has dropped by nearly 4,000 compared to last season

Five of this season's top 12 attendances in the SPL featured Celtic as the visiting side

Brighton's average attendance has increased by more than 6,000 in their second season at the Amex Community Stadium

The Scottish Premier League's average attendance fell by 28%, from 13,855 to 10,020, although that figure was skewed by the liquidation of Rangers, who reformed in the Scottish Third Division.

Celtic were one of six SPL clubs whose gates fell in 2012-13, with average crowds dropping from 50,904 to 46,917.

Rangers saw only a slight dip in attendances, though, attracting average crowds of 45,750 - down from 46,324 - as they won the Division Three title.

In England, 16 of the 20 Premier League clubs increased their average attendance in 2012-13. The three largest rises were for the three clubs promoted from the Championship in 2012 - Reading, Southampton and West Ham - with Everton recording the next largest increase.

But a football supporters' group has warned that these increases could be lost if Premier League clubs do not reduce ticket prices.

Malcolm Clarke, chairman of the Football Supporters' Federation, believes that away supporters are particularly in danger of being priced out of grounds.

"We will be watching very closely what happens next season, when there will be a major increase in media revenue under the new television contracts," Clarke told BBC Sport.

"The Premier League clubs will be receiving so much from these contracts that they could let almost everybody in for free next season and still have the same amount of money coming in as they do now.

"Certainly if the match-going fan does not get the benefit of the clubs' extra media revenue, the reaction could be significant."

It would be interesting to know how the Scottish Third Divisions averages fared with the inclusion of Rangers last season Annis.

These stats are really interesting in relation to ourselves and what promotion brings in terms of increased attendance. I have just stated in another thread that I feel that we should have added another tier to the ground this season taking us to 32k, however having read these stats for the promoted teams it seems that for Reading, Southampton and West Ham, all three teams added an extra 4000 to their previous years average attendance in the Champonship. If we follow suit, then our 22k average attendance would increase to 26-27k. So it seems the stats back up the clubs decision to hold back expansion for another year. :thumbup:
