[QUOTE="Bluemoon, post: 1114429, member: 38204"] I think there has to be some understanding about the context of these attendances. Wales have 4 pro teams and less population than Scotland, and a lot less than Ireland, SA and Italy. 12,000 at a game in Wales is good given the area covered, imagine there will be 10,000 for the scarlets next week as well. Cardiff has a population of 362,000, around 50,000 of those are students and there is a lot of competition for sport here. There are very well supported football and ice hockey teams, just to name two. I don’t imagine the scarlets and ospreys would consider the dragons as a big derby either, so that turnout for the scarlets game isn’t too bad. I think it’s more of a case of imagine what might be possible in terms of growth here if there were fewer issues with governance and club politics. Cardiffrfcfans do some handy analysis around attendances for a lot of teams if anyone is interested: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cardiffrfcfans.com/analysis/5559.php?clubID=1[/URL] [/QUOTE]
