Come on City

The good old days .. a fill stadium

By all accounts, the official attendance of yesterday’s game was 19,000+ against Millwall but the truth be told it was much lower (rumoured around 12,000) that was due to the fact many season ticket holders stayed away.

There has been a lot of politics around the club and a number of decisions have not gone down well with the fans, namely the manager for one. Fans are always hard to please but if the football on the pitch excites them, you can dampen some of the criticism but show no passion, there will be a tidal wave of negativity, and we have seen a lot of that this season. Passion has been lacking a lot on the pitch at Cardiff City Stadium and that shows in the crowds.

I’m no manager so really can’t say what is happening on the pitch. However, I know what I like but I haven’t taken my badges or played football so they may not work so I will stick to Football Manager. We have to knuckle down and see out what remains of the season but even before it finishes fans are already downcast for next season. Even the club are planning for next season shutting down parts of the stadium in anticipation of poor crowds off the back of poor season ticket sales.

Next week is our last home game of the season with nothing but pride to play for and with Blackpool already relegated, I have a feeling the ground could be emptier than yesterday so why not have a party. Throw the gates open let fans in free or charge them a fiver and get some of those stay away fans back in and fill the stadium, maybe.

Why not fancy dress! Whatever it takes to generate some kind of atmosphere to end this disappointing season on a high. Some competition for the kids, chances to win goody bags, what about win a season ticket or two there a plenty left.
