Rhondda, we must have stood a few yards apart cheering the city on more than one occasion. Looking at the pitch, just to the left of the camera gantry and about as far back as it. Spent a few seasons yelling from there. Got to know quite a few people as we stood in the same spot every other saturday during the season (except for the 'special occasions' when we sat in the Canton End). We used to meet up fr away games as well.

My dad used to tell me a story about watching a game when the bob bank was just that, a bank. The back of it used to drop away. He said he arrived late for one game and ended up at the back, down the dip. He reckoned he only saw the ball about 3 times, when someone hoofed a clearance.
 
Remote, there was a gang of us Rhondda boys (from 6 up to 12 of us) used to always be there a bit nearer the pitch and you by the looks, used to have a few pints at The Lansdowne Hotel.
 
Gone but not forgotten...happy days!

Can't really argue with any of that Proph fair play.

We've got a steady average these days but the key to increasing it is definately getting to the Prem. Swansea have done their bit but looking at the Liberty away end yesterday, I wonder how many of them didn't have to leave South Wales to get home?

To be fair I'd be very suprised in any of those Mancs weren't season ticket holders. Very unusual for big club away tickets to be available to anyone but the top tier season ticket holders. The majority of that bunch would follow Utd everywhere, fair play to them if they do that from South Wales.
 
As mentioned before on here, if Cardiff could get in to the PL and stay there I would think around 30,000, you could perhaps add another 5,000

Norwich is perhaps comparable to Cardiff in size. We currently get full houses of 26,000 or so depending on the away following. It is generally thought we could increase the capacity to 35,000 and just about fill it IF we were still in the PL. I can see no reason why Cardiff could not do the same <ok>
