11,618 Rovers fans
« on Today at 05:42:40 pm by VivaRovers »
That's how many were there on Friday night, given the smaller away section afforded Crewe.

Surely that's the most Rovers fans that have been in the Keepmoat/Eco-Power for a game since it opened?

Which in turn, by my reckoning, would make it the biggest attendance of Rovers fans for a game – aside from the finals at Wembley and Cardiff – since the Liverpool FA Cup replay in 1974.

I hope that some enjoyed it so much that they want to come back at the beginning of the season. It is games like Friday and Barrow where the emotion and passion is shared right across the crowd.

It felt like it was but the record is @12500 v Swansea in 2010, the famous Donnybob challenge. The Swansea fans had the smaller section in the North East corner.

4000 more than the last play offs. Probably would have been more in a bigger ground

I honestly think we could have sold out the whole ground purely to home fans, if it was an option. Not many clubs at this level could do that.

And remember that was just from STH and 1 ticket per person with a purchase history. Shows how big the potential really is

If we start next season with a home game against ‘local opponents’, & win that game comprehensively, plus on the back of good player recruitment, the Eco has the potential for an average home gate of 8k plus imo.
