Wilson said: “The support we receive both home at BT Sport Cardiff Arms Park and away is superb. We have a passionate, loyal and knowledgeable following and they make a huge difference to us.
“We fell to a few more home defeats this season than we would have liked, which is disappointing but we want to turn our home ground into a fortress.
“Our support plays an essential role in that and it is great to see attendances have risen. We try to play an exciting, attacking brand of rugby on our 4G pitch and hope spectators have enjoyed that.
“We hope the crowds continue to grow and look forward to returning to the Arms Park next season.”
