As a Swans fan i genuinely want to know your views on how big you think Cardiff can be? as in fan base wise? and how far can you go if you reach the prem? and don't say Bigger than what Swansea will ever be

i am saying there is not a fair assessment on this Cardiff City have more fans than Swansea City bollocks..

Liberty Stadium - 20,532 - average attendance for swans games 20,000 and home sell outs

Cardiff City Stadium - 26,828 - average attendance for cardiff games 22/23,000 (that's dubious aswell)

Wembley Stadium - 90,000

Swans allocation - 43,000 - 43,000 sold

Cardiff allocation - 38,000 - 38,000 sold

you see the similarities now?

43,000 :? I thought it was 40,000 :?

Ours was roughly 36,000 as well. Have you checked these figures at all?

And why did ourselves and Blackpool get significantly less than what yourselves and Reading did?

Re: Cardiff FC

Sun Mar 25, 2012 5:53 pm

On a level playing field and all things equal, you cannot hold a candle to CCFC. ;)

Please remind us all of your attendances for the last 11 seasons.
I could do it, but would love you to post it. :D :D

When we are in the same division you have been and always will be second :ayatollah:

Just want to add....people in other countries know where Cardiff is and they know about Cardiff the city. That cannot do anything but help.

Most people have no clue who or what Swansea is. I didn't until I started following football two years ago, and I excelled at geography in school.

Re: Cardiff FC

Sun Mar 25, 2012 6:00 pm

nope i didn't check it but i knew we had 40k plus and you had 35k plus..

im just questioning the sleeping giant status of Cardiff FC (only Cardiff fans think they are sleeping giants though)

Okay I am delusional then fine, your the one who cannot handle reality.

I am actually someone who has never lived in Europe but I and the people I know, we know Cardiff, I have friends who vacation there. I learned about Cardiff in school because it's a capitol. Cardiff has a larger population, I studied about the team and found out there is a large contingent of international Bluebirds. These things cannot be said about your Swans. No offense mate, I don't really hate you guys....I don't live near you. I am just telling you what I know.

and people outside of the GBR have no clue who you are.

My view is when on a level playing field we are a bigger club than you.

All well and good, but when someone in America or other countries are trying to decide on a team, and they have some affinity to Wales they are going to choose Cardiff just like I did. I am certain the Swans have fans over seas....but your argument has been based on potential. You are the one who started it.
To me the sleeping giant fits Cardiff. Large city, large population, capitol, tourist location, all these things add up. It's like 1+1 makes 2. If and when the Bluebirds make the Prem, their fanbase will overwhlem yours, it's not personal it's just simple math.
