Cardiff City 8,000 / Swansea City 8,200 ?

Is this true?

Cardiff City in their 33,500 Capacity Stadium allowed 8,000 fans v Southampton

Swansea City in their 20,000 Capacity Stadium allowed 8,200 fans v Southampton

How did they work that one out

Because they are a smaller club perhaps

Maybe we're not bothering to open the 2 stands behind the goals? We don't play many home friendlies but the ones we do we barely get ~6k people turning up. Southampton aren't a glamour tie and I doubt many of their fans would bother making the trip.

Perhaps the club have decided a sell out 8k crowd in just the Ninian and Grand Stands is better than an 8.4k crowd with the whole stadium open. It would certainly be a lot more financially sensible. We'll see when tickets go on sale next week.

Relax guys! They will only fill 3000 of them.

Government in Wales set certain rules but allow local council to make decision on capacity along with Safety advisory group, Cardiff SAG and council are more cautious than Swansea...City said that full capacity should be available for Barnsley or very near that and away fans are allowed to come to CCS, We also expect to take 2,500 to Blackpool but not confirmed yet but there will be huge demand

Swansea City in their 20,000 Capacity Stadium allowed 8,200 fans v Southampton

It's because they're all inbred so technically they're in the same bubble

Its because they're all related so they count as being in the same bubble

UPDATED: RETURN TO SPECTATING REGULATIONS

On Wednesday (14 July), the Welsh Government announced there will no longer be a legal requirement for outdoor social distancing from midnight on 17 July.

Whilst clubs must still ensure that they minimize the risk of exposure to and spread of coronavirus, the Football Association of Wales has made appropriate amendments to its Return to Spectator Regulations.

The updated Regulations are applicable for all FAW Official Matches and Open Friendly Matches, where spectators are permitted to attend, with the exception of matches that are played in public parks, which are not enclosed.

The amended Regulations still retain the key remaining principles of Welsh Government which are:

Individual Club Risk Assessment
Track and Trace
The fundamental principles of the document are now limited to only:

The host club’s COVID-19 Protocol Compliance Officer must keep records of all spectators for Test, Trace, Protect purposes. These details must be retained for 21 days.
Clubs must complete a specific coronavirus risk assessment which should form the basis for what reasonable measures to take on any premises to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus and the risk of spread of coronavirus.
Consequently, previous requirements of temperature testing, spectator code of conduct, legal social distancing, maximum capacities and mandatory face masks are all removed from the Return to Spectator Regulations. The medical questionnaire is recommended as part of the Track and Trace documentation and to reduce the risk of spread of coronavirus

Please note that the FAW Return to Play Regulations are being reviewed and an updated version will be shared next week. However, there will be no changes to the continued forbidden use of dressing rooms at this stage
