wouldn't have thought so, haven't they only opened half the stadium for the match?[/b]
think they've opened up the first and second tiers, but they have the option of opening the top tiers too if there's a high demand for tickets. I read somewhere (can't remember where sorry) that without the top tiers, there's a ticket allocation of around 36,000, with 27,000 for the Blues Fans, and 9,000 for the Toulouse fans.

No, will be around 30,000 mark. Still a good crowd, and hopefully we can sneak a win.[/b]
How many people live in Cardiff?

Cardiff has a population of around 330,000, maybe more. A lot of fans will come from places like the Vale of Glamorgan (around 110,000 I think) too, plus there's the Pontypridd area - though a lot up there don't support the Blues because of the old Ponty - Cardiff rivalry, and the whole Celtic Warriors shut down <_<
So nowhere near as many people as teams like Stade Francais can attract. At least Cardiff don't have to contend with a Cardiff City FA Cup semi final this time. They only had the first half of last years 1/4 final on BBC Radio Wales+Cymru because of it.
