Cersei Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's the 4000 ST holders who are trapped down a mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Excellent. 7,888 to go and we've cracked it. 2 free seats next me on't Kop...They were taken first half of the season, cos I chatted to the blokes and then halfway through the season they were empty... Ahhh...I get it Edited May 3, 2016 by asteener1867 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-Owl Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well when you consider the Lep end is about 6,600, and the NW wedge is 1,300 its about right, because they didnt exactly bring many did they,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 As I remember/understand, Leppings Lane end (inc. the cheese) holds about 8-8.5k.... there wasn't a huge turn-out from Cardiff & there was the occasional empty seat in home-ends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Capacity has been reduced over past few years, seats in different areas have been taken out to accommodate and extend disabled areas. Front 3 rows of kop near North Stand and back few rows of West lower on south stand side have all gone. They were only 1,013 Cardiff fans.

Salmonbones Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) If we don't go up, the club could do worse than look into letting either the top or bottom half of the Leppings lane end being home fans. We've done it before without problems since the disaster, so there should be no issues with doing it again. I was still at school when I had a season ticket in the lower leppings lane end. I can't remember where we entered the ground now, but I am sure it was not actually via the leppings lane side. I know it's odd I can't remember, but we've sat all sides of the ground, and I can never remember entering via that side. Edit: To put this into perspective, it was a year we had Dan Petrescu, as I remember being approached before the game to do the half time penalty shoot out, and they gave me a players shirt who wasn't playing that day - I wore Dan Petrescu's actual shirt over my own top. So, quite some time ago. Edited May 3, 2016 by salmonbones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, quite some time ago. At same time it was a members area with reduced priced tickets, positive we entered through same turnstiles as now, I can remember coming out at same time as Newcastle fans when they scored a last minute winner after we had played them off park. I was that gutted I offered all geordies out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Really? I don't remember it being through same turnstiles? I'm not saying you was wrong, I would have been maybe 14 or 15 so not too young, but I really don't remember that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl267 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 My 1st game as a kid we sat in the lower Lep. Had the Forest fans sat above us. Apart from the odd idiot spitting over the edge I don't remember any issues. Mind you they would have been in good spirits having hammered us 7-1 that day.

Bluey9 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It makes me laugh when we get these conspiracy theories. Do you really think DC would risk everything to make 3 o 4 K more. The attendance is what it was End of ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1867Heaven Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's always been dodgey or seemed to be anyway, ever since I've been going has the attendance never seemed what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graz gp Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Does anyone no if there are any plans to alter the leppings lane end of the ground? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wath-owl Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 There were around 4k season ticket holders that didn't go on Saturday. It didn't look like it but almost half of the North Stand was actually empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the North stand and can confirm it was at least 40% empty, I've seen the pictures and it do admit it does look a lot fuller than it actually was.

gurujuan Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Look no further than the Lep. If it was a sell out for home fans, it can only be the odd one or two who were unable to take up their seats. All our seats were empty in the North, as we stood at the top of the gangway all through the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
