More fans going to cardiff

Post by WiggoTiger »

I see in the Merc, we are taking at least 10,000 fans on Sunday so a better turn out than the 6,500 people were talking about earlier this week. :smt023

A good fan base for singing, flag waving and cheering the TIGERS to success. :smt026 :smt026 :smt026 :smt026 :smt026 :smt026

I still think it is an embarrasing number if we want to be recognised as nationally significant in the world of sport. There was a bigger attendance for the Johnstone Paint Trophy football Cup (55,000) than what will be there Sunday and this involves teams ranked 93rd and 50th in the football league. This is the European Cup semi final!!!!

'Packed' would be over 70,000. Sadly, there seems very little chance of getting anywhere close to that number.

The figure of 10,000 was, I believe, taken from a Millenium Stadium marketing piece trying to encourage additional Welsh support. It may well be somewhat inflated.

I think a lot more Tigers fans would have made the trip if the public transport situation had been any cop!

How exactly do they know how many of us are going? We got our tickets from Ticketmaster as I'm sure many people did.

Addresses tickets posted to might give something of a clue.
