Good club with great fans. Been through so much over the years. Met a couple of lads who were at game v Lincoln when stand burned down. Truly awful. Hope they get back up to at least championship level. The lad Nahki Wells looks like a good player as well

i think the biggest point your missing is, how relativly small crowds are elsewhere. even on a weekend where there's no premiership or championship football being watched, people are not supporting the smaller teams. the fact the uk is filled with united, chelsea, liverpool and arsenal fans, is destroying those small clubs, where i work and live, around 80% of the kids are either "swansea (because of premiership) or the big 4, and i live in south wales. with the premier league getting all the money and fans all glory hunters, except a few loyal lads, the teams in the lower leagues i fear wont be able to survive

as a huge cardiff city fan, i will follow them, but for me, the premier league is boring and dull, yes we beat man city 3-2, but realistically, will we be challenging for premier league, champions league place in my life time, i think not maybe top 10 in about 8/9 years time. where-as int he football league its soo interesting and exciting, to see teams like yeovil for example, survive relegation, and then a season later, win a play-offs to the championship. thats where the heart of football is, not in the money run, boring premier league

Decent crowd at Plymouth too. Argyle have great support, and the Gas usually take a few away.

The same can be said about being in the premier.

The top 6 have a target of reaching the Champions league. The more established premier teams have a target of getting Europa place with one or two daring to nick a Champions league spot. Then you have your mid table teams securing their positions early with intentions of building up for the following seasons challenges. Then you have the relegation candidates which perhaps is the biggest fight of all across all the divisions when you consider how much there is to lose. Adding to the fight at the bottom well any of the teams can find itself in the mix of it all if they go on one bad run and that could include Man U. Its not that bad a league to be involved in.

Hi i'm a Bradford fan , Our crowds don't represent the diversity of the population of Bradford therefore this reduces the pool of potential fans. Also large amount of Leeds fans live around Bradford, and the Aire Valley part of Bradford are mainly Burnley and Leeds. The last year has been like a nice long dream, our crowds have so far increased by 47% on last seasons, We got 18,000 against Sheffield utd last week. Cheers, good luck inyour season.

Yes mate, I thought it was a reasonable gate for that division, if they stay around the play off positions as the season goes on the support will increase no doubt.
