Cardiff City currently sit 19th in the Championship, and with the campaign almost at the halfway point, it's difficult to predict how successful of a season it will be for the Bluebirds.
The second tier is proving to be as competitive as it has been in several years, with multiple sides vying for promotion and playoff places. For example, there are just eight points separating Millwall in sixth to Wigan Athletic in 22nd demonstrating how closely contested the division currently is.
The Bluebirds did go into the international break amidst after losing back-to-back games, however, this World Cup-enforced break has provided them with an opportunity to reflect and get some much-needed time under Mark Hudson.
It will be an interesting period for the club as they look to avoid being pulled into a relegation battle after a significant squad overhaul this summer.
Whilst we wait and see what the rest of the campaign has in store for Hudson's side, here, we turn attention away from the league table and take a look at the Cardiff City Stadium's capacity compared with other teams in the Championship…
