Title: Attendance...
Post by: adamtherover on November 11, 2017, 05:48:08 pm
Considering it was on sky and the races were on,  12.5k is fantastic,  hopefully any first timers enjoyed the day..  and will be back.  Gates are deffo on the way up which is good for the budget..

Not bad, about 4K from Rotherham meaning about 8.5 from the Rovers fans. Now if they’d, the Rovers fans, would like to come every home game it would really be a bonus

Hope they havent been put off by the late goal, the South was rocking up until then, always feel like we blow these  opportunities when we get a decent crowd, wont be that many their for the rest of the season thats for sure, just hope we can stay up then build for next season.

Yeah be nice if we can at some point sustain it again.  It does feel like off the pitch the clubs getting things right given the clear uptake in crowds.  If only it was better on it at home they really could improve.

There were Rotherham in the home end

If there were Rotherham in the home end, there weren't 1500 of em. As the original post says, its a good crowd and good home crowd given it was on sky and the races were on the same day. Why the feck were the races on the same day?! The game should have been moved to Sunday really.

So one man and his son, stop trying to act like the home end was full of Rotherham fans when that wasnt the case.

Where did I say it was full of em?

There were actually four and a kid, you can bet your life there was more elsewhere

A bit of an over reaction there Wheatley.

They brought loads of fans considering they don't care about us and we're irrelevant to them.

Ha, as we were walking away after the match I heard one rotherscum fan say to his mate that we had scraped a draw in our cup final.

No reason for Rotherham to take seats in the home end.  The away end wasn't rammed.

Post by: Padge_DRFC on November 12, 2017, 05:30:03 pm
Away end wasn’t sold out so no need to go in the home end

We are currently averaging 8291 for home league matches

The last time we averaged over 8000 below the Championship was 1969-70

That's good news and you wonder how many more would come if we push for the play offs.

This must be good for the coffers on top of TV games v Arsenal, Rotherham and now Scunthorpe.

Our game is part of the BBC final score, not sure what that means in terms of coverage.

So do we get paid extra money by the beeb for that happening ?

We get extra money, although whether it will compensate for a smaller crowd is a moot point.

Couldn't have picked a worse match to be televised, as I can't see Scunny playing any different to their last visit back in September. It will be yet another game where space and time on the ball will be at a premium!

The only way that will change is if we score first and then, just maybe, it might produce a more open contest and spectacle for the armchair mob.
