AND DONT FORGET ITS PAYS ON THE DAY THIS SATURDAY
The Cardiff City record attendance at our current home came in our Premier League season of 2013/14. The biggest crowd of the campaign was 28,018 against Liverpool on March 22nd.
The Bluebirds fans were out in force, and in fine voice as well, as the game turned out to be a thriller, unfortunately ending 6-3 in favour of the Reds. City twice took the lead, with Jordon Mutch and Fraizer Campbell finding the back of the net in the first half. However, Luís Suarez was to score an impressive hat-trick and, along with a double from Martin Skrtel, and a strike from Sturridge, the Uruguayan’s goals won the points, and earned him the match ball. Mutch’s second of the match couldn’t earn the Bluebirds anything from the match, despite a valiant effort from the home team.
However, the stadium’s capacity has increased more recently, with the opening of the Upper Ninian Stand, bringing an even higher record attendance. 30,854 people saw Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale lift the UEFA Super Cup in August of 2014, after Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 2-0. Then in June 2015, Bale was the hero for Wales, after his goal in front of 33,280 spectators – the stadium record – helped defeat Belgium in a UEFA Euro 2016 Qualifier.
