@AnnisAbraham I'd rather 10k who give a damn opposed to 30k odd who want to watch Rooney et al. Sod 'em.

Not very encouraging words to get the fans back.
Do you want the same amount of fans in the future ? :digging2: :old:

Annis, it will be well less than the 9,600 next season as well. I'll be renewing and travelling to as many home and away games as I can next season as usual - but more and more are walking away and won't come back.

Respect to you Annis for next season, I know you'll be travelling from Santa Ponsa regularly to come to games :thumbright:

Great quote :ayatollah:

I said it before the Glory hunters came, I would rather have diehards with passion and fans not on the players backs every minute, than a load of glory hunters just coming to virtually watch the opposition than Cardiff City.
It feels good lately,the die hards are right behind the team.

My honest opinion, I can't stand Glory hunters,fair weathered supporters, its easy to support a winning team,the club/team needs fans now,not if we got promoted again :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird: :bluescarf: :bluescarf:

Easy to blame the fans but maybe the club need to look at themselves. Are that many people wrong? Surely they can't be?

I know I didn't see the need for a price increases this season.

Luke,every time I blame Tan/Club I get shot down by some,but yes after whats happened in the last 5 years they certainly can't take a lot of blame.

But in my heart,I believe you Support your team, No matter how bad times are on or off the pitch :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluebird: :bluebird:

Been there since late 80's. First season without a season ticket in over 15 years.
I had real problems with the rebrand but am now getting the bug back. Cant wait for tomorrow.
City are at their strongest when the chips are down.
Ashamed of the red/proud of the blue! :bluebird:

Whata great quote, plenty on here need to take note of this. Too many miserable bastards expecting perfection.

We're cardiff city, ever since I can remeber we've been shit. Then one over rated, superficial year in the prem and our fans think we are real Madrid! Get real and support the team!

Shanks was great,cant wait for todays game been up since 6.I think it will be too wet for some glory hunters today,ah well f**k them.

Problem is you need to attract the glory hunters to pay the bills and take the club forward

We need bums on seats

Agree with most of the sentiments expressed on this thread.worst offenders of the lot though Leeds and sheff wed.at this level average 20000plus .get to the premier league boom. 40000.they like us have massive catchment areas so it will always be the same.

Nearly every club in Britain is the same, we're no different to anyone else. People want to see a winning team, whether that be football, rugby, basketball, cricket etc etc...it's always been that way at the City.

Bit of a pathetic thread really.

When you class glory hunters you also class many a fan who has given up after years of support for one reason or another.

Those who only attend the odd game during the season, when it suits are also glory hunters by the same definition :bluescarf:

Those who go to every home game and away are the truly real supporter :ayatollah:

If we did win promotion, I still think stadium would be sold out with plastics as you put it week in week out. So if its not full then does everyone still blame "plastics" for low attendances??

Karl, If you read one of my replies,I've also said our club should take some responsibility for their part in the last 5 years,they've lost a few thousand diehards.

You create a thought :bluescarf:

And illicit a response :ayatollah:

I totally agree with you, PL will put bums on seats and they will be supporters who have come for the opposition rather than us but it's the way of the World the club needs those types just as much as the die hards. Wales in a France will be another point in case but gives one a headache to keep reading it.

Must say this transfer window has been one of the better ones together with Langston deal bring done and last weeks win it has been an enjoyable week. As you know that's rare with City these days, have a great day :ayatollah:

It surely does Annis, maybe the club should sit/stand all the die hards together? We would know who they are, so to the Club and more importantly the players lol.

So I can't afford to go away games plus im a single dad of a young girl so won't leave her home alone. Am I a glory hunter??! I scream and shout for 90 mins from 116, to the ref, to opposite fan muppets, to slade to get Fabio on, 100% passion! We who stay loyal, we do it because we love ccfc, those that don't come, well, it's their loss. Can't wait for today's game guys!!!

I get what your all saying but as a club we will always need fresh blood and I welcome anyone thinking of coming back or supporting us for the first time.I too have been a supporter since '73 when I was 15 but the club will not be able to count on my support for ever as advancing years brings its own problems.Remember the new support today may well be the stalwarts of 2056 when I will be long gone. :bluescarf: :bluebird:
