Crowd Today..

by FiNeRaIn » 26 Dec 2009 21:52

19,608...bigger than Swansea vs Cardiff in their MASSIVE derby earlier in the season, for a club thats won twice at home in over a year lol.

How come other clubs can afford to invest with lower gates..and we can't?

I would say maybe because of the holiday season etc but its a Saturday anyway ofcourse.

Noticed you've been around 15k in recent games.

Did Swansea bring a decent number?

about 3k to be fair to them, decent support. Far better than we'd take there.

FR, that doesn't take into account the STH who couldn't make today's game due to being away so ticket revenue will be higher than that suggests!

LOL at that. The amount of shite I hear about how good their support it, that is awful for their biggest game of the season. They were good today in numbers and voice though.

Why do I get the impression you're just looking for any reason to moan, regardless.

Big crowd=shit investment.
Small crowd=shit fans.

When was the last time you made a positive post about RFC? (I don't mean Rangers!)

Depends what you call positive, but that said - there hasn't been a lot to be positive about. A few years ago we were beating liverpool 3-1, now we are talking about getting a home point with swansea as being a good result. How have we got to this? how?

The end of the parachute payments might have something to do with it. :|

We get our last parachute payment at the end of this season. Can't say I reckon we'll see any of it invested into the team though. :|

Liberty stadium capacity 20532, Swansea 3 Cardiff 2 attendance 18,209. Now when you take out the reduced away allocation because of previous trouble that suggest it's a sell out.

You really need to look into your facts before starting a thread like this.
