next year, and also reducing the walk up price, do you think our crowds would increase on this seasons ??

For some strange reason, no I don't. I think we need to change the apathy towards us of people in the catchment area

What do you mean exactly? Converting Rugger buggers ?

No, not that. When we're doing well, half of south Wales wants to come and watch us. When that form dips, the interest wanes and even doing very well in the league fails to get those fans back. We should be filling our ground after the cup final and a top 10 finish last season, but a combination of missing the play offs, lies from the board and sometimes boring games keeps a large amount of fans away. I just think that there has been a general apathy towards us since the 70s, seeing as that's as long as I've been following the City. I hope this makes sense as i can't find a better way of expressing it

I think they have lifted the apathy. I say that because our crowds have increased ten fold over the last ten years.

If they reduces d the Premier Seating to say 500 and introduced more affordable walk up prices, then surley that would have an effect.

We are only talking of an increase of say 20% on current home capacity.
