Cardiff City are expecting their biggest crowd of the season when Derby County visit on April 2.

The match will be crucial to both sides, with the Rams aiming to maintain their place in the play-off places and keep alive any remaining hopes of an automatic promotion place, while Cardiff sit three points and one place outside the play-offs.

The Bluebirds are offering their own supporters two free tickets to the game to anyone who buys a season ticket for the next campaign and they think a crowd of 22,000 could be in attendance.

Cardiff have suffered some poor crowds this season and their best gate at the Millennium Stadfion is only 15,461, when they beat Preston North End in February. The stadium has a capacity of more than 33,000.

Bluebirds chief executive Ken Choo said he was delighted with the way season tickets were selling and that a bumper crowd for the visit of the Rams would act as a huge boost to the Cardiff side.

"As a club, we're thrilled to see our supporters turning out in force for us as we continue our play-off push," Choo told the Wales Online website.

"The game against Derby could well be our biggest of the season to date, so to have a bumper crowd set to attend that one will be a huge bonus to the team."

Goals from George Thorne and Andreas Weimann saw the Rams to a 2-0 victory at the iPro Stadium when the teams met in November.
