It be nice. But unfortunately we only see theses size crowds when they want to watch the other team. We got a 17k max hardcore support.

Not really. They have no problems getting 70,0000 for the rugby and they are coming from much further. Also if we were playing Liverpool at home next weekend it would be a sellout.

That’s the 17k I mentioned earlier. That’s our realistic limit.

I need to educate a few people on here. Derby are a club who have played 66 seasons in the top division.their fan base is built on mainly them playing at a high level.our fanbase is built on the fact we are traditionally a second Division club who have played only 17 in the top division in its entire history. Name me any football club with a big fanbase that has spent most of its history outside the top division??????.

Cardiff have now had 20 years not being in the lower leagues 5 Wembley appearances and one of the biggest catchment areas going, most clubs have competition with other big areas , We have none.



Just look at Sunderland for years they have struggled

Just look at Bradford City always in lower leagues but get big crowds

We are a club in South Wales, nearly 500,000 with surrounding areas population wise.

Our fan base comes from all Wales , near Wales and massive in London ex Welsh.

We could of got 40,000 every week in the Premier.

I’m straight about it, our home crowds are awful as their were still thousands who never even turned up in that attendance.




Then bang thousands disappear beyond
