Third biggest % increase in home attendance and second biggest % increase in away attendance (helped that it was low last season ofc).. not bad for a team that's done no better than last season.

Although our away attendance will drop further soon, still got to go to Bolton, Middlesbrough, Leeds and Blackburn...

Still got QPR and I will certainly be IN! for that.

Will you break 150 for Boro?
You joke, but we will, barely. Doubt we'll break 200.

Tuesday won't help.. Not sure what the league's obsession is with making the longest trip of each club a midweek game.

May be true actually. Doesn't help that they play Championship games on 4th round weekend now when they used to leave it free.

Though we were given Sheffield Wednesday, Rotherham, Hull, Huddersfield, Ipswich as our midweeks, so wasn't like we escaped the long trips.

It's because it's such a non-entity of an away day nowadays. The stadium is half-empty, the nearest home fans are about a mile away and the corner of the ground is shite for an away end.
I'd like to shake the hand of whoever thought putting the family section next to the away fans was a good idea. Not to mention in the Ninian Stand if you stood up the stewards would be on you quicker than a tramp on chips.

Genuinely hate the bastard place.
We have taken the most there, a mere 1200 or so.
When a team like you lot that always travel well can't be arsed for the trip you know the place is shit.

I doubt there's been a bigger shift in circumstance in British football than Cardiff away. The new ground is everything that Ninian wasn't, as a kid going to Cardiff away was a proper badge of honour, real test of your mettle. We went there last year, people walking round in away colours, local pubs housing away fans tolerating them singing etc, 'lads' (wankers) giving it the biggun in the ground....unheard of. For my circumstance I'm happy with the current situation, we had a brilliant day with the kids last year, having a tot with the Welshies and the kids playing football with the mini-Welshies, great day.

The traditionalist in me on the other hand yearns to run the gauntlet, get back to Brum and tell the tales of another crazy day south of the border.....

I think it's overblown how "bad" it was. I used to go to Ninian Park in the 90s and it was normally pretty empty and quiet, especially in the bottom flight. I guess when Cardiff played Birmingham they were always doing a little better so a few more may turn up.

Tickets only £20 for Birmingham away, tempted but not sure if I want to waste holidays for a midweek dead rubber (from our point of view).

Leeds have reduced allocation of 2,200 instead of 2,600 for Rotherham. Why?

Ground only holds 12k doesn't it? they're on a good run of form and I imagine Leeds are a pull in Rotherham? they'll probably sell out the home ends.

The away end is the away end 2,600 not 2,200 the other 3 sides have no bearing on it. Derby took 2,600 the other week. Jose what did you lot get?

The away end is not the away end when the corners are filled in and it doesn't have 'ends'...

It will be a police decision, they'll want more segregation between the 2 sets of supporters, we did it to Wednesday in the cup 2 seasons ago and i think your got the same last season if i remember right.

All aimlessly wandering around trying to find a pub in the dullest town in Britain.

Does this mean Brighton and Preston have had the largest 2 away followings this season? Both impressive followings for clubs of their size or location (in Brighton's case).
