Yes before our latest victory away to Forest, ticket sales were awful and City were expecting another dreadful low home crowd which they really can't understand.
Since the Forest victory, City are now hoping for a 20,000 crowd, personally it should be 25,000 at least in my view

honestly think you should reassess the 25k mate.
there is just nothing in our history to back it up ..including our championship winning season where at this point in the season we had yet to drop a home point from the 9 games played..yet our best crowd had been 23,836 against Leeds...we did have 4 crowds of over 25k that season, the last 3 home league games and a boxing day game v Palace {massive,they were 3rd and had they won would be just 1 point behind us }.

As a season ticket holder I get emails and texts with offers of half season tickets,family ticket offers etc but none of them are of any use to me as I'm already going to the games.
Shouldn't they be marketing in different places eg local media, bus shelters, backs of buses, taxis, billboards, school and college promotions etc

Deep down I know it's true, they won't come unless the opposition is Premiership, they don't follow Cardif, they just follow anything that's a big event in South Wales

truthfully i used to think very much as you do..give us top end 2nd tier challenging for promotion and we would get 25k..but i now think those thoughts might have been correct in the 70s and 80s but not now...its going to take more and longer..

I strongly disagree, City tomorrow night should get a 25,000 crowd.
10 other clubs in the Championship All get 25,000 plus crowds and 9 of them are beneath us in the Championship and have not all got 1.2mill people with in 10 miles of the Cardiff City Stadium, with No competition.
Ask even Warnock, he's virtually begged all season.

What we should get and what we will get are two entirely different things though unfortunately

Jack,
Any ideas on what Warnock should do to get a bigger crowd then?

Not sure there is anything the club can do about it, it will take years for new fans to become regulars. They could try and liven up the match day experience and create a bit more atmosphere, moving ends etc, but they won’t. They don’t really listen do they. Besides, if Warnock gets us up all the Gloria’s will return and the ground will be full of them.

Don't worry about it, just go to watch games and enjoy yourself.

For me I am going down for the first time since Leeds home and the only thing I am happy with is I will be there supporting the boys regardless of the attendance and hope we get another 3 points.

I take your points, and to an extent I agree. It's the same as myself and the 3,000 others who were the hardcore supporters back in the day saying where was everyone back then? 14,000 so-called 'plastics/glory hunters' we've obviously got now...
I'm not bothered who turns up, if you want to go then do, if you don't want to go regularly then that's fine as well. I welcome all CCFC supporters, part-timers, so called 'glory hunters', one game a season types and genuine diehards.
