Poll ccs expansion? Permanent Wales home ?

Fri Oct 12, 2018 7:56 am

I think we should take it up to 40k so Wales wouldn't need to go to the egg stadium

Dont see point as its city's ground and 40k is to big especially if in championship , playing in front of a quarter full stadium not good idea. :old:

No it’s not wales stadium. It’s our stadium and we don’t need 40k seats.

The only time I would expand is if/when we become an established premiere league club.
For me CCS is perfect for Wales,sell out some but not all.
There’s more profit in success (euro finals) than the odd big game.

F=== Wales they can play where they like, it's our Stadium and the right size for us right now and too big for the Championship.

If Wales keep playing like that they wont fill Wrexhams stadium.
They have heavily to Spain and Denmark

I agree that it’s big enough until we become an established Premier League team,hopefully in my lifetime!

Not for me.

First and foremost the stadium of for Cardiff City and we certainly don't need a bigger stadium.

Even at 40k would it have been used for the Wales game? Not sure it would have.

As has already been stated the club don't need the extra capacity yet. We are also not the only football stadium in Wales. It was nice making ccs a fortress for Wales but Wales games should be played across all of the suitable Welsh stadia based on likely capacity needed and giving the rest of Wales a fair share of games.

Fans including cardiff city don't want wales to play at the egg but would prefer to play at ccs but then don't want a modest expansion you can' t have it both ways wales is not exclusively for cardiff city fans only,i am a season ticket Holder at cardiff but live 3 hours away and would prefer to watch at ccs rather than the egg but those who don' t want exspansion fare enough but if fans from all over wales want to watch wales play but are restricted to 33,000 why should they loose out because some cardiff fans don't want exspansion the only other alternative is the principality stadium.

We only get 33k when we are winning.

We don’t win often.

There’s no need.

I am happy to leave the stadium at 33,000 its ccs and I am very happy with this for us,but will have to accept watching games at the egg if demand is more than 33,000 wales is not exclusive to cardiff city fc there is no other stadium in wales and the faw are not going to build a new international stadium for wales football.

Stadium is the right size at the moment so no expansion needed.

If wales feel like paying for the expansion then yea crack on. But give it a year or two and wales crowds be back low anyway.

Now now. I ain’t a new poster I’m just going through a mid life crisis. On the op no need for expansion yet, to think what it would be like to have a 40k stadium of our own. 20 years ago the question would of been laughed at, but why not one day.

Why can't we just treat this as a one off like it was meant to be for everyone involved?

The more stuff like this goes about the more media fuel stories which will give the FAW something to actually consider.

Re: Poll ccs expansion? Permanent Wales home ?

Fri Oct 12, 2018 6:35 pm

I understand as a club we don't need the expansion but it would be good to get the ground used for a World Cup.

If the joint bid went ahead with England, Scotland and Ireland, we'd be a shoe in for games at 40k along with the Principality as a group would play their games between to nearby stadiums.

Agree! :thumbright:

The weird thing is people want Wales to play at the CCS because they don't want Wales to play in a half empty stadium.

However making the CCS into a 40k stadium and Cardiff will most likely especially long term be playing in a half empty stadium.

I don't get the logic here just for a few Wales games a year.

Re: Poll ccs expansion? Permanent Wales home ?

surely you extend when you need the extra capacity...

There’s never any logic on this message board

Majority of the games at Ninnian Park were played in front of around half capacity for years in the 90’s when I first started going down.... what’s the difference??
