' Unlucky to concede Today but we need over 20,000

' Unlucky to concede Today but we need over 20,000 '

One goal past us in 4 league games and again with very little possession we out shoot the oppposition, this time we had 17 shots out of 35% possession.
Fantastic start to the season, can't wait for Burton and QPR games now, hope the lads get good support especially next Saturday when we really need to get over 20,000 home fans.

I know its early days and fans still need convincing but this side is entertaining and winning...so lets all try and bring a mate with us and fill the ground

Proves it's not how much possession you have, it's what you do with it that counts. Swansea are past masters at dominating possession and doing zilch with it.

IMO it because we break so quick and direct. Possession is calculated by the number of completed passes which really means zilch.

Corky, Our best ever start in over 100 years.

5 wins in a row, undefeated and brilliant football, with a passionate manager beyond :thumbright:

I agree we should be looking at at least 20,000 plus Cardiff fans v QPR this Saturday,not even a doubt :thumbright: :thumbright:

I can't see us getting 20K I would expect to get 17-18K that is including away fans. Apart from the regular 15K City fans who attend games the so called City fan that talk about City as if they are regular supporters just don't turn up. So come on you so called supporters who talk the talk start walking the walk to C C S.

I think 20k is achievable, hopefully QPR should bring 1k at least.

I would be very surprised if it was less than 19/20k.

Load of us going Fulham aswell, cant wait. The team and NW have earned it

There were just under 18,000 against Sheff Utd mate for a Tues night, QPR should have at least 1k so not that much less than SU, I would expect our crowd to go up by 1.5-2k for a Sat game so 19/20 for me I reckon is easily achieved

If fans don't turn up then the long and short is eventually players will need to be sold.

No point in moaning from your armchairs

The club need a huge marketing drive in the next few days particularly on pro rata season tickets. Our form will have made people sit up and notice but I bet the vast majority have no idea how cheap and easy it is to watch the city at present.

I agree fully on the pro rata season tickets we should be pushing this idea with vigour. I don't know if there are credit options, but if not the club should look at doing something in that area.

Cardiff city deserve an attendances of at least 20000 on Saturday.ipswich only had 15000 yesterday but they have a small catchment area and are expensive to watch.we on the other hand probably have one of the biggest catchment areas in Britain? And are cheap to watch.

20k is the minimum that should be turning up! No more bullshit excuses from those in South Wales, the team are playing in Blue, The team are playing exceptional football, scoring goals and playing a brand of football not seen in these parts for over 40 years! get down there and support the boys :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :bluescarf:

Spot on. Loving this season and it's even better that I now live 15 minutes away. Our attacking flair is great to watch as is our defensive tenacity.

No excuses now from stay away fans. Let's fill the ccs.

correct..i wish they would call it what it is.
centre half to right back 1 click...right back to keeper 1click..keeper to left back 1 click..NML pinches ball off left back skips inside CB smashes it in top corner. 1 nil . 1 click. 25% poss. what a joke.

People are saying we will get 20K+ yet they are asking for fan numbers to go to away game. GET A SEASON TICKET then you will qualify for away tickets.
