” Terrible away support but why? “

” Terrible away support but why? ”

Cardiff City

I think RV casual hit the nail on the head in a different post, exactly what I was thinking. The 18-30 which usually make a huge percentage of the numbers and always have done have been lost. Sure they exist, and when they do go I have seen myself how passionate and vociferous they are. But I simply don’t think enough of them follow city these days, the numbers aren’t there. It’s like a lost generation.

Are they getting a fix with Wales away instead? Or is it simply a numbers thing?

We can blame modern Football, TV, money all of which no doubt play a factor especially today against forest but sad to see such a Demise in a clubs away support. It wasn’t that long ago, maybe 7 or 8 years we would get a 1,000 against a Watford or a Charlton on a Tuesday night let alone a Saturday.

The numbers will swell when the older generation turn up at the games they have carefully selected ( Burton ) and villa will be a sell out no doubt, but as for the bread and butter games week in week out that don’t appeal then am afraid it’s a sad state of affairs.

Having said all that am still amazed at the such low numbers for a Saturday game , 5.pm better than 12.30 warnocks first away and a club like forest.

No point crying more accepting. Credit to those travelling today.
