In the last season before Vincent Tan took over the ownersh

In the last season before Tan took over the ownership of our club.

Cardiff’s average home league attendance was 19,413. Therefore, we are now in a position where the current team is much worse than the one that Tan took over from and crowds and are going down weekly,than they were when he took over.

Current average is about 17,500, yet away support coming to CCS is treble them days.

I fear crowds will dwindle even more.

On and off the pitch Cardiff are worse off.

But guess what we now have a new plan Ninian and Tan is very very committed.
We will also bring more from the Academy through.
We will communicate more.
We have big ideas once we stay up for next season


You forgot Ninian the debt has trebled and we are borrowing more and more and our squad is not worth much.
But we do have a Very Cheap Coaching Staff.

You could also say, two promotions to the Premier League, and an average attendance of 31k plus, and good crowds always in the championship when we were doing well, of course they drop when we are not doing so well.

From the 3-4k I watched in the early 90s onwards, to getting to the Premier league twice with the very unfortunate circumstances in January of the second season, and remaining in the championship under all Tans time, seen worst years. Though we came close to down 1x season recently.

I won’t be protesting against him, many clubs don’t have money to keep spending, and stay in the same division for years, clubs bigger than ours have gone up and down over the years since Tans ownership, many to league one and up again, it’s football to me, no owner is perfect and investing all the time, he took risks in the early years financially and did not pay off, so we are stuck with a budget and in a hole at the moment, but again seen worst over the years at Cardiff.

I won’t stand up for him, and keep replying on Tan outposts, I don’t like or dislike like him, that’s my simple view, for me he’s ok, we are in the same boat as many other clubs.

It’s not the view most on the forum will agree with, that’s fine and I fully understand it, we all have different opinions and views.

Will get ripped for this, but again it’s my view, nobody else.

A very sensible and balanced post Droyal. Yes, the club has stagnated but as you say, we are in the same boat as most other clubs.

How is it a balanced post? Forgot to mention the rebrand which for me was the worst thing that's happened in my 50 years watching the club

Is it stabilised? Tan reckons he’s lost 200 million? All his doing of course but I’d hardly call that stable. Sorry to say but I don’t see the two promotions to the PL as much to shout about, the first was instantly forgettable and embarrassing. The 2nd not quite so. Looking at teams like Forest, Brighton, Brentford Fulham, palace, Bournemouth wolves all seem to have made the jump quite easily despite smaller crowds than we got? Many others stayed up for years like Swansea, Wigan, West Brom, Norwich etc….we could easily go down this year. Stable? Yeah rightio

Did not forget it, and hated seeing us go up at Burnley away that year in Red, it did not seem right, or the following season in Red in the premier league, but moved on from there, only me personally, does not mean other fans do.

Anyway, not getting involved with Hating TAN, that’s my personal choice, I don’t speak for the Cardiff fans, just myself on this forum.

Mike,

Spot on.

And Tans made all the debts.

The Home Crowds are Dwindling Despite Massive Away Followings coming to the Stadium

The recent attendance for the Millwall game (15,687) was the lowest for a league match at the CCS since March 2017.
The actual attendances was just over 13,000 at CCS



The smallest crowd last season was 17,131.

We've had crowds on 16,205 and 15,687 already this season, while the attendance for the Blackburn home game on a Saturday was just 17,188.

The Crowds and Season Ticket Sales are Falling Rapidly, that says it all.
