Saturdays Attendance

[DonnyBazR0ver]

There's always some who make late decisions on attending for various reasons but generally I think people have got more used to the online ticketing system.

If there are large queues forming at the ticket office, I've seen staff walking up and down the queue to assist them in getting their tickets before they get to the door. They'll be prepared.

[Butchers Red]

3 phone lines in ticket office busy all afternoon

[Chris Black come back]

Club now confirming tomorrow will be bigger gate than the Everton (11,430) and Wrexham (10,537) games.

Is that home numbers or total? I think it's definitely going to be the best home turnout for a very long time. Either way, it's great to hear.

[EpsTheMightyReds]

I’ve read it as best home support not total attendance, so you can probably knock a couple of thousand off those numbers above

[Chris Black come back]

South Stand fully sold out.

[RoversInSpain]

DFP printed an actual figure yesterday 8,577
Why don’t they do the same today, tell us something we don’t know instead of the usual splurge of asking pointless questions with the same focussing  on the next game answer.
They can help gather momentum and let the ‘not sure’ supporters see it’s going to bounce and they’ll be tempted in as to not miss out…

[colincramb]

Who cares, we’ve pretty much sold out the traditional home areas of the stadium. For once, the donny public have responded. Let’s hope this is the start of a renaissance with our city’s football club and it spills over into next season regardless of how things pan out over the next three games…

Wrexham brought 2200 and Barrow estilmated below 500 .But I hope and expect to hear you all from my home viewing on I Follow from Belgium .Enjoy the stadium atmosphere guys n gals .
DROS states
This, coupled with general ticket sales, has ensured that our home attendance alone will be at least 2,500 greater than the average of our total matchday attendance for the season.
That in fact equates to a home supporters number of 9500 .

[WheatleyRover]

If the home end is nearly sold out, why not open the last block of the West Stand.

You’ll hear us on that telly in Brussels trust me.

More importantly the team will hear & ‘feel’ the atmosphere to positive effect.

Barrow will be ‘blown away’ by the home fans & more importantly their opposition.

Nothing but good feelings here.

[andy didcott]

Yep, gonna be good today, can’t wait.

[Pancho Regan]

Just woken up in my sleeping bag outside Turnstiles 20/21.

I'm gonna be first in the queue at the beer kiosk in the West Stand concourse.

Come on you reds!!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Well, I jokingly went for 9,999 because of the significance of the 9s, so I'm going to stick with that.

We know it's in excess of 9000 and it's a lovely day for watching football, so could it be over the 10k mark?

[Padge_DRFC]

How many are Barrow fetching?

Get me one in Pancho!

[Paul Simpson]

Looking forward to this game. Should be a fantastic atmosphere! Come on you reds 3pts

[adamtherover]

Very hard to work out sales, W31 has just popped up with 363 available?

[drfcsteve]

I’m not bothered what the actual number is, it’s gonna be a right atmosphere

[DonnyBazR0ver]

How many are Barrow fetching?

I don't know. I've heard quite low numbers in the 200s but that can't be right can it? I know they have a long way to travel but maybe double that would be a good effort?

[StocktonRover]

The club have already confirmed a day or so ago that the attendance would beat the Everton one, so unless Barrow are bringing over 1400, surely we must be over 10k home fans already?

They confirmed the HOME attendance would be more.

[moses]

Not showing off but will repeat that I am not a business but have offered Rovers the 100 quid to pay for  14 kids and four adults at a game next season instead of buying a season ticket I can never  use because I live abroad .You don’t have to be a business to adopt your old Primary school for the good cause .I have adopted Dunsville Primary school where I was a pupil long long ago .

Well done Brian, we raised a glass to you in the Flarepath last night.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

The highest home attendance we've ever had was the Donnybob challenge 12500 v Swansea in 2010 but we've had a few around the 11k mark Inc the Leeds record attendance of 15,001 which of course can't be beaten since we reduced the seats when the big screen was installed.

As said above, we're assured of having a great atmosphere to cheer the boys on and, there's no concerns about the East Stand looking empty on TV!!!

[DRFC_AjA]

Empty seats in every section, even south stand. So did the club lie about sections being sold out or did people buy and no show

[IDM]

Why the hell would the club lie.??

Maybe they saved some for walk ups, or st holders didn’t come.

[Guernsey Exile]

Are we gonna argue now? Forget about it. WE WON

[DearneValleyRover]

Less than 10k home fans officially

a lot of people stand/bunch together in the South Stand and don't use their seat.

[DonnyOsmond]

That atmosphere was pretty good.
