Table tells the truth.
Look on the bright side. At least Magners games have some meaning to them now, if the Blues are to qualify for next season's Heineken Cup. Edge of the seat stuff to follow.
On the brighter side - the Cardiff Blues are the strongest team in the Magner's League.
Supporting all the other teams above them.

I just despair and I can't see it improving in the near future.
Apparently about 2,100 season tickets have been sold for Leckwith, that combined with the £65,000 per match we are shelling out in rent to Cardiff City Football Club, Cardiff Blues are up the creek without an effective helmsman. We need strengthening in vital areas and there's no cash left to do it.
Following Cardiff RFC all over from sunny Bournemouth in Blue and Black
2100 season tickets. Doesn't sound that much does it? How many were sold last season?
As supporters, what can we do about employing a competent helmsman with the necessary equipment? Or is it really too late to alter this course towards oblivion?
At the Arms Park the number of season tickets would vary from season to season but even at it's lowest there would be about 3,500 but generally around the 4,000 mark so in effect Cardiff Blues have only about half of the season ticket holders it had, the rest are individual by match sales which if these dire results continue, will quickly ebb away.
Yesterday I was talking to a friend who is a Leckwith season ticket holder who would normally go to every home CB & RFC game, he is intending to go to the Llandovery game next Saturday and then watch the Scarlets game in the clubhouse on TV.
I think the attendance next Saturday at both Leckwith and the Arms Park will be very interesting !
I think the season ticket sales may be closer to the 2500 mark, as there have been between 2000 and 2100 at the first 2 games.
But compared to free issues it is quite small, from figures seen so far it looks like they are well past the 10000 free tickets for the season.
On dear, Oh Dear, Oh Dear, OH DEAR!!!!!

In view of the ever increasing font size can our moniters take the possible enormity of "super-script" ?

LOL - have to wait until what looks might be the next inevitable loss at home!!!
No - all seriousness aside I hope for the sake of our continued rugby (wherever it may be) with the Cardiff Blues that we can cut out the schoolboy errors and start playing some decent team rugby again soonWe have to learn to start winning again - either in a good fashion - or ugly makes no difference but we need those "win" points and try bonusses more than ever now.
