How many did we take to Cardiff?

FiveLive at one point said around 1500 - which sounded unlikely to me - and then a comment was made later about the "few hundred Albion fans away in the corner". Am guessing the true figure was somewhere in between - anybody know? Or would care to estimate, having been there?

We were told they away end holds 2500, rough estimate 1000-1200, pretty good for mid week 200 miles away

the whole of one side (nearest the goal) was kept empty and the remainder was about two thirds full so my feeling is about 800?
made more noise than the 22000+home fans for most of the game though

I will eat my cat if we took more than 1,000.

I dont know how many we took, but you could ceartinly hear our fans singing on the raido.

Considering the broadcast was clearly where the Cardiff fans are, a great effort by all to out sing them!

Yes, we definitely out-sang them throughout the game. It really did sound as if WE were the home team.

Brilliant atmosphere - I chuckled at the chant; "You're just a small town near Swansea".

Looked like 600-700 to me, made some good noise though fair play, good support.

Nice to hear away fans singing for a change, our atmosphere is always piss poor at home i hate the new stadium.

I agree with all of the above. I haven't seen any 'official' figures.

They said on radio sussex that 694 tickets had been sold in advance, and a few more to be added for pay on the day.
So 700 odd, bloody good effort.

Certainly looked like 700-800 from where I was. About what we were all predicting before hand. A cardiff fan must have a picture surely?

Russ phoned at half time from the stadium and said about 700 - 800 were in attendance.
