Attendance tomorrow

[MrFrost]

Over 7500 sold apparently.

Could be 8000+ there.

Excellent.

[IDM]

OK it is only 3 games so far, but we're getting good entertainment for our money this season..

I might not make this one nor Hull, but will be cheering on the lads at a distance..

[foxbat]

same for me , but looking forward to my first game of the season, maybe Peterborough 

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Yes, I looked at the ticket website yesterday and looks like they sold alot during the day.

I estimated 7,700 but it will be great if we could exceed that. Maybe the early signs of the feel good factor returning.

[anton123]

Think Blackpool will sell most of there tickets on day so oyston don't get a penny from them

[elmsallrover]

Dont think people will pay full price vs blackpool when they can pay just a tenner tuesday night vs hull

The thing is with us in the past,large crowds and good results usually dont go together.
  Having said that we had never won at Blackburn until last week,Is it going to be a season when we do things differently?
   I hope so,it would be nice to build on this enthusiasm that seems to be around the club at the moment.
   If I remember rightly Gavin said that we are budgeted to break even at about the 7500 attendance figure,so it would be nice to beat that figure on a regular basis.
  The people who work in the background at the club,The Board who support us financially,and supporters like Paul,Len, and others deserve it.

Hi Selby Gavin said 7200 mate see you ether tomorrow or Tuesday at carcroft if you are going

[selby]

Hope to see you at both vicar,we missed you and your lass Tuesday,Tony cheated and brought  his grandkids.

[graingrover]

The online booking shows Blackbank black with taken seats !

[Pancho Regan]

It would be nice to start with an '8'

Again though we have a race meeting coinciding with our home games . I missed the opening game because of this overlap. It's a damn shame , 3 of us missed the last home game , now at least 5 of us will miss this one .
These games should be played on a Friday night surely if at all possible. Think of the revenue loss at both venues ?

Priorities, which do you prefer, a group of horses running round in circles, a a group of men running around randomly kicking a bag of wind about?

[drfchound]

We were talking about this at work.
In bygone days the races and the football never clashed due to the close proximity of BV and the Racecourse.
Because we are now at the KMS it apparently isn't seen as an issue.
As you say Hoola, there are still people who want to go to both events so have to choose which one to attend.
As it happens, my wife wanted to do the races today so she could see Texas after the races had finished.
Luckily she backed off so i will be at the game.

The games that were played on Friday nights were great to go to.

Both daft now you put it like that , however we don't normally have the first 2 home games over-lapping with race meetings do we ?

I agree it makes far more financial sense for both venues if Rovers played at least this game on Sunday or as you say Friday night. Long way for Tangerines to travel on a night perhaps or complete oversight by our Board ?

[GazLaz]

The attendance will be the same as vs Gills plus the extra fans Blackpool bring you would imagine.

[colincramb]

Let's be honest though, the majority of the race crowd aren't usually at the rovers games. Don't see it as a massive issue for about the 2 or 3 games it affects a year

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I agree, it denies people the chance of attending both events. The odd Friday or Sunday fixture  might be quite appealing.

How many away tickets have been sold though

[swintonrover]

How many away tickets have been sold though

Probably hardly any. Blackpool fans buy their tickets at the away grounds so Oyston doesn't get a cut.

Lets say todays opposition was Blackburn and we were forced to move to Friday night, how big an impact would that have on away ticket revenue? Given that public transport still lives in the dark ages and services stop at a certain time

Should the reacecourse compensate Rovers for loss of revenue?

Should the rovers compensate the racecourse for loss of revenue too🤔

But we aren't being forced to move. The police don't see it as an issue. A derby game like Rotherham might be a different story

No one said we were being forced to move, the point was raised about playing Friday night or Sunday when the races are on, the debate diversed into how it would impact away attendance, and as such revenue

[WheatleyRover]

Not sure if this has been posted before, a table of our average attendances over the years

[Al4475]

Not there today - here's hoping for a top result and a good crowd!

[bobjimwilly]

See you in the Lucky Pint, Al?
