Certainly the highest percentage of 20-40 year olds I’ve ever seen at a Donny match. Historically it was generally the case of either really old or really young. It’s probably this age group that are likely to bring a few more “day trippers” along with them for a day in London on the piss. I’d certainly like to look at the data of our supporter base since we were promoted back into the football league, it would make an interesting study. This is something I've always been aware of. I'm 37 and when you look around, I wouldn't put a high proportion of our fan base in the 30-40 year old bracket. The reason? The mid-nineties and Richardson didn't help, additionally this generations parents probably supported other clubs. Further, SKY bringing the Premier League into everyone's homes in 1992 didn't help either. I'm in my mid thirties and remember being in school in the early noughties and I could have counted on both hands the number of lads who supported Rovers. Majority were bigger local clubs or Premier League clubs.

Probably no need for top tier opening. If it does I imagine it will be last

Further, SKY bringing the Premier League into everyone's homes in 1992 didn't help either. I’m 40 and started going in the 90s. There aren’t too many that fall into that category. The ones that started going 20 years ago, when things improved, are just creeping into their early 30s now.
I’m 46 and been going regularly since 1991. A few of us from school used to go but most lost their way. Out of our group only @bigbadjack still goes when he can be bothered
92/93 was a magical season. Brady, Jeffrey, Hicks and Eddie Gormley. Talent throughout that side. Shame nobody there to see it.
