Can’t wait for us to come up against a poor team if we can score 4 against a undefeated side whose fans were expecting nothing but beating us by 2 or more goals
Maybe I have an old fashioned attitude, but doesn’t going to the match and being there serve that purpose.?Does for me..
Barnsley took 1500 more to their away game today. Imagine the leger had some impact but that’s a massive difference for similar distances.

Barnsley have half a dozen people and a dog behind the scenes. This isnt about marketing. Its as Dingle has stated. That season in the PL has influenced exacty the kind of fans we lose to L**ds and Sheffield, and the ripples from that are still being felt.

The new owners are all about off the field at the moment. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6106589/How-Gauthier-Ganaye-footballs-youngest-chief-executive-29-impressing-Barnsley.html I think their recent surge in crowds is to do with their double Wembley wins, they've had an administration since their Prem days.I honestly don't know what Rovers can do about their crowds, even after the recent success of Championship football they topped out at 12k.
i will stick to what we have at Donny, a rugby union team in the championship, a rugby league team, a top class racecourse, an airport and a wildlife park,as well as our football team that could stuff Barnsley this season,not really much going for Barnsley. its football and nothing else.
There’s a lot of criticism of the club, but lets put a few facts in...1) A winning team2) Affordable ticket pricesThose will help to boost attendances no end and will be the biggest factors. You hardly ever see a top of the table team playing in an empty stadium, yet a crap team will always have an empty stadium.The way Rovers have conducted themselves with the passing of Pie Man also makes a massive impression and that’ll reach a bigger local audience than any marketing b*llocks will do.There’s always ways to do improve, etc, but the club is miles more professional than it was 10 years ago.

Different ball game for marketing. If you think it's "b*llocks" then I'm glad you're not working for or advising the club.Thing is though you can do marketing, marketing, marketing until the cows come home.More often than not it's already preaching to the converted - the 'Football for a Fiver' posts will be shared by converts, already bitten by the bug, and seen by the same audience - as well as the ones who follow/friends with the said converts on social media, etc.That 'PR' is brilliant as it'll be noticed by people who aren't necessarily fans, but people who are Pie Man's mates, family, etc, and the impression it sets is fantastic.If there was a magic wand for good marketing that works they'd be a mid-table club in this league playing in a full stadium every week, selling-out, with memberships, etc, galore, but there isn't one.Success on the pitch and cheap tickets are the two biggest factors. Get that right and everything else follows.But that's just my opinion having seen it from both sides at different points over the past few years.
