Has to be over 20k the only thing that could take a few thousand off the attendance is 12.30ko live on sky

But we've waited years for an exciting young team playing great football, fans need to play there part and turn up in numbers to back the bbm revolution

Re: CROWD FOR PLYMOUTH 25,000 ?

Sat Aug 23, 2025 5:42 pm

Should be NO reason at all for the crowd not to be 23,000 plus.

Plymouth will bring 3,500

We have got currently the best football being played for years and we are Top of the League

I don’t agree about the first part, being on Sky should not harm us I’d your a True City fan as at the moment we are absolutely riding high .

As you say we’ve waited for years for this and so the fans should turn up.

If Plymouth fans can so can WE

Has to be a big crowd, it's what our team and manager deserve after this start.

Can't use the kick off time or it being on Sky as an excuse. Isn't stopping Plymouth bringing a lot and didn't stop Peterborough bringing decent numbers.

Also didn't stop our fans travelling well today or at Vale.

First game I ever saw at Ninian park was against Plymouth and we beat them 5 -1 I was hooked was anyone else there that day and remembers the team and the scorers ?

those of us that go week in week out won't be bothered by sky early kick offs etc

But sadly we do have a lot of floating fans who find any excuse not to turn up unless it's the Jack's or Premier league football

I think we might entice a few out of the woodwork just to see what's going on with Cardiff,
but canton ninian should be sold out easy if you like an atmosphere be a part of it,
Few signings would help if the board pulled there fingers out .

Re: CROWD FOR PLYMOUTH 25,000 ?

Should hit over 20,000.
Anything less will be disappointing.
I guess somewhere approaching 21,000.

It will be over 20k which is great

Re: CROWD FOR PLYMOUTH 25,000 ?

Sun Aug 24, 2025 1:54 pm

After our fantastic start I'd be disappointed if it wasn't around the 24K mark considering they might be bringing around 3000 :bluebird:

Depends how old you are! I remember us beating them in about 1967- for some reason New Years day is in my mind. I was a young boy then and have no idea who scored or played but if it was that game I will go for a team of

Bob Wilson, Graham Coldrick, Bobby Ferguson, Gareth Williams, Don Murray, Brian Harris, Peter King, Bobby Brown, John Toshack, Ronnie Bird, Barrie Jones. (though he may even be in opposition that day). Plymouth might have played in white with a green and black hoop

We also had a very young keeper around that time called Lyn Davies and he may have been in goal. And Dave Carver might have been in instead of Coldrick. Other candidates would be George Andrews, Norman Dean :old: :old: :old:

It would be funny if we started pulling 10,000 more than that massive club out west, a league below with woeful owners too, think it would be put to bed once and for all, not that it’s ever been in doubt in any rational mind. :bluescarf:

To be fair to Swansea they don’t get bad crowds , and as a city as large as Cardiff (425,000 with another 500,000 within 25 miles ) we should attract 20,000 minimum per home game if successful in L1. Cardiff City crowds are moderate.

They simply don't have the pulling power of us? Home crowd of 14k yesterday in championship is not great regardless of of the size of Swansea and surrounding areas....
Theres more than enough urban conurbation to support a football club like Theres.
