AIl hear this all the time and its true!! 7k 2nite and id say they were the old/new die hards!! but what you got to remember somthing............. lets take leeds for a example, they have been up in the top flight for years, done stuff in the past, they've gained thier support through top flight football and parents having kids, who become fans and then thier kids having kids and becoming fans etc yer! support growen and grows from father to child
we've been in the cella of world footballl getting crowds of 2k, its getting better but will not over night! unless we get prem football! when i was in school i was the only person who wore a cardiff shirt, i had "cardiff shity" and "they are crap, where are they" etc from all the prem top wearing friends, now i look on facebook and 99% of them are all "city fans", photo's from the play off final to photos from wembley!!!!!! now if we've caught all them, then next genration, they have kids, they will bleed blue, then they will have kids who'll be taught the blue way, so the future support is there, just needs a few hanky panky sessions with the wife and girlfriends to start the ball rolling faster lol
then you got the south wales public , i like to call "plastic" these will only come when apprently "decent teams" are playing! so if we did get into the premiership then they would come then they get hooked, have kids etc the start more blue support
see abovedo you see where im coming from? id like to think (even if we stay in the championship and get in and out of the prem) that in around 20 years time, we should have gone from 2k die hards years ago, up to 7k these days to around 18k or even more, unfortuntly past was not with us so will take time
phewwww
