Title: One thing that struck me about Week 1 in the Championship
Post by: BedsFFC on August 10, 2015, 08:42:56 PM
Was the crowds.

Seemed to be huge amount of empty seats at all the games.

Turns out it was Cardiff's smallest crowd at new stadium. It was over 2000 less than their smallest crowd, which was a tuesday game against Peterborough in Feb 2010.

Nothing to do with us. We didn't take loads but we had just under 1000.

I don't like the neutral section. However, we were by far the largest visited club away fans last season. Be interesting to see what we have on Saturday

Cardiff would have been affected hugely by the rugby, so there's one reason.

All others though are a mystery

Tickets are expensive (one game was around £40) and people will be on summer holidays.

Early in the season, so I suspect that some people are away on holiday or they are feeling the pinch after returning from one. Give it a few weeks and attendances will start to rise again.

This is all it is I'd have thought. Tickets to see Fulham are quite pricey too if you're not a season ticket holder.

After watching the live games and highlights.
1. Dunk and Mills could've been legendary in our back four this season.
2. I know it's a marathon but Wolves replaced Derby in my tip for top two despite that dodgey handball goal.
3. It is early, but there is excitement bubbling under after our first point.

Don't forget folks are furious with the Cardiff owner.  Could be also staying away due to him.
