Probably less than that with midweek people work etc. Especially valley's trains etc dont get home until early hours

I'd like to see 20k+ but the weather forecast is terrible, combined with midweek evening KO and Dripfords new snail lanes.

None of the above will help with the attendance unfortunately

I am actually not saying we will, but we should get 24,000 plus and if it was a must win game then no matter weather etc etc we would get even more.

Very true Annis. The weather was p155 poor on Saturday, the egg was on and it was an evening KO.

That didn't stop a huge crowd getting down there. I'll use the term big game or glory hunters because it's true - that will knock several thousand off the gate this week. Disappointing after a huge effort by the players.

City's pricing is keen too but what can you do!?

Funny how many appeared out of the woodwork when fans sensed there was a good chance to beat Swansea Town. Attendances in the last couple of years have not been the best against then.

Overall, I feel many want to see some wins in a row before we get an upturn in attendance

Hazard a guess the crowd will be around 15K tomorrow night. Yes i agree on a lot of things being said but you have to be realistic. My next door neighbours went Saturday two adults and two kids they bought tickets for the family stand not sure how much that would have cost them but assume it must be around the £50 mark, great price and well done to the club, they paid for car park another £12 due to the weather and two young kids. On top of that they had petrol from Llantwit. Lets say they took there own food and drink but knowing kids they probably wanted something. All in all it probably cost them around the £100 mark.
As mentioned ticket prices are good but its all the other costs it all adds up. The kids were bouncing yesterday when i spoke to them looked like they had eaten one to many chocolate bars they were bouncing.

This was a treat for them all and the father said they hope to do another game before Christmas. Two games in a week for most families given the cost of living would be a big ask.

If it was city v man utd tomorrow night the excuses about the weather the price etc suddenly evaporate.

Bang on the money. If the crowd is 15k tomorrow that will be a complete disgrace!

Crowd size goes up & crowd size goes down, that's just the way it has always been unless you're in the top flight.

The club deserve credit for their prices but not everyone can afford to go to every game, we don't all have Annis money.

As I said if we were playing man utd tomorrow night 30000 people would have the money and no one would complain about the weather or transport.

I agree but some (lots) would have scrimped & saved to watch Manure play Cardiff City but unless it's a Premier League game nobody in Cardiff except a diehard is scrimping & saving their pennies to see us play Coventry City.
