Like you, have always had an interest in the crowds from a young age. your spot on, people put the Crowds down but for a club with one year in top flight we don't do bad at all. The clubs we draw comparison to have European cups and years in the top flight, that's handed down through generations and we simply haven't had that. 5 - 8 years in the top flight would cement a huge fan base that actually go because it's still there.

Crowds will be up on last year and next year will be up again as the club rebuilds both on and off the pitch.

Exactly right Stringfellow.people don't realise Cardiff city's one and only golden era ended in 1929.To build a big solid fan base we need another one.

Gareth, Yes I'm prob obsessed with crowds have been since a kid,I find them very interesting,like you do

Your right our home crowds are not bad seen as we have not had continual success over years and done nothing really major for years. If we average 16,000 this season,which at this moment we are course to do,that will be good for us.

Our away crowds/support does worry me big time as we have lost hundreds of diehards,who I don't see returning.

Should be a big turn out for villa away.

Should be a big turn out for villa away.

We should sell our 2,800 allocation, No restrictions, not far to travel,massive game etc

About time though as we are struggling at all the other away grounds

Newcastle away this Sat,We should take 2,000, all the other clubs have been taking 2,500 min incl little Brentford.

Will there be tickets at the gate for Newcastle ?

Come on, we have never been number one club in South Wales let's be honest. It's Liverpool, every f'in valleys town. Every one. Not sure why but it is. Always Cardiff for me and it's the same for my son. We've about 10-12 thousand tops the rest floaters. Suits me.
