StephenWrexhamFc said:Laughing Bluebird you need to take a look at the stats mate. Cardiff "City" - Population 275000 or so? What's your average gate? 14000 or so? Wrexham "town" population 42000. Average gate of 4400. Thats around 10 per cent of Wrexham population. On this statistic Cardiff need to get 27500 A GAME to match our support. Typical South Walian bollocks once again. And I haven't even started on the Welsh Assembly bag of shite yet nor the fact that the nearest "Premiership" club to Cardiff is absolutely miles away. Contrast that to Wrexham and the fact we've got some massive clubs virtually on our doorstep! Who was it that said. Cardiff's about as Welsh as Gateshead.
What's this crap all about?
Have I ever claimed our support was great? Certainly not. While it pisses all over yours, it damn well should do given the size of Cardiff and its surrounding areas. As it happens, my personal opinion is that City's support is amongst the most fickle in Britain and our crowds are very often much smaller than they should be.
Here's an irony for you: a couple of weeks ago I wrote a lengthy piece for a CCFC website about Wrexham and the Racecourse, and I pointed to the fact that Wrexham's support is very respectable given the size of the town's population. I also mentioned that there was a period during the late Seventies and early Eighties when Wrexham and Cardiff were in the same division and Wrexham were actually getting the bigger crowds despite the fact that Cardiff were finishing higher in the table.
No need to give me a history lesson, gog. I was only having a laugh. Calm down, calm down!
Cardiff is about as Welsh as Gateshead? That's rich coming from a glorified Scouser! We're the capital city of Wales whether you like it or not. You're just a small town in Merseyside. Get over it.
