2 thousand up on our recent crowds. A lot of people have given up on them for various reasons. The football is dire at present.

The Jacks really do have a right to laugh about this, too many on here talking shit and living in the past purely because they don't want to accept that Swansea are better than us now (and have been for a few years).

15,000 home fans and 800 away fans in a 33,000 capacity stadium. Last night was not a derby.

I doubt we'd have got any more if we were playing the jack last night.

The club has lost it's mojo with no sign of it returning shortly !

Must be quite boring for the Jacks, we are a broken opponent at the moment.

You right about them being better than us but when I was growing up hated wurzels and Newport with a passion skiprats them days where not on the radar and it's only what they have I believe created with there obsession with us look at this forum just my take on things

Doubt if this will ever be resolved. We have got Swansea 40 miles to our west, and Bristol 40 miles to our east. Both are rivals. Pity that Cardiff is a one-club city, as it would be great to have a proper derby. Bristol City have got the Gas, Swansea have only got us. We've got both. Suppose it depends where you live, and what age you are.

I actually enjoyed the atmosphere last night. Thought the Canton was great, and fair play to the Worzels, too. Doubt if we would have got many more for a Championship game against Swansea, if they were where Bristol City are now.

19,000 max. Crowds will pick up though when they start to believe that there's every chance that we can go up this season.

Cardiff's far too small to be a two club city. I'm surprised Bristol has two clubs to be honest as neither get "big" crowds, combined they'd be one of the bigger clubs in the country like Southampton. If Cardiff had two clubs at the same level there would be less than 10,000 at each game.

Southampton? What have you been smoking? :lol: Bristol is a big city, bigger than Cardiff population wise. You also got to take into account the surrounding areas like Weston super mare, bath even north towards Gloucester. Both clubs have good support when required. Easily filled wembley when they've played there.

Southampton are fairly big, they've been a regular top flight club for years. I'm not talking top 4 and a million trophies big, more like the size of their fanbase. Bristol had the potential to have one very well supported football team and that's out the window, I'm glad we didn't have to fall into that trap. It's only worked with a select few like Manchester, Sheffield, obviously London and Glasgow and that's because they're all massive cities.

I wouldn't call filling out one side of Wembley for one big game justifiable for it, 90% of clubs from League Two upwards could do that if the occasion was big enough.

I don't think it matters who we play currently, the club is a broken one. Fans don't really care like they used to and the club have all but killed any atmosphere in the ground. The team aren't one, the manager isn't up to it and the owner wants out and has totally messed up the best opportunity we had to return to the premier league. Less money next year to? Wow...how appealing will that be.....

Cheer up! It's nowhere near that bad. We're top ten in the Championship, and back in blue. We've had much worse times than this. We've also had lower crowds, including games against the Worzels. Thought the atmosphere was quite good last night.

Yes, Cardiff is too small. I sort of meant a bigger Cardiff!

Well the city of cardiff is about to grow a lot bigger with all the huge housing developments about to happen to take the population up towards half a million. 25000 should be standard issue in a one team city so big. I don't think there is a club in the entire football league that has done more to alienate its fan base with all the guff we have had to contend with in the last 25 years.....as for results, we need goals and I reckon mason isn't up to it. We need ken wyn back asap and a natural scorer asap.

If ourselves and Swansea, Newport, Bristol City and Bristol Rovers, are all established Premier League clubs in 20 years, who would you class as our biggest rivals?

For me, Swansea City, due to the massive history between us both, and the fact that we always seem to be posturing up against each other for the crown of "Pride of Wales", then Newport due to them being only 7-9 miles away, and if you live in St Mellons/Marshfield, you reguarly bump into each other.

Swansea will always be #1 derby because of our history. But if Newport weren't so shite they'd easily be our main rivals. :old:

Only recent history. Swansea were an afterthought pre 80's, much the same as Wrexham are now.

Poor old SadaBing. He's just bitter that Cardiff are now even getting a bigger tidal lagoon than them. We get everything. They get a leisure centre.
