Lets get everyone down there and fill the place!!! Get an atmosphere like we did for the Everton game.

Mission Impossible is on! (not the film of course)

Well if people can’t get behind the team now, when can they.
Hopefully Wrexham will bring lots of fans too so should be a great atmosphere.

Shame the club moved it from Monday  to save a few quid, otherwise it would have been a good crowd.

Hopefully now blunt has gone, these penny pinching schemes will be no more.

I agree with you, TS, that it would have been a better crowd on the Monday; but how is moving the game to Tuesday saving a few quid?

Millwall at rotherham on Monday, police were stretched and were charging the club to police the match.

Why we moved and not rotherham, was to save costs.  Rotherham were willing to pay, rovers weren't.

Anyhow back to Tuesday, Wrexham had a big big game v Mansfield today, which will have marked as must win, and taken a lot of energy and mental strength, perhaps we get them just at the right time, it’s only Donny…..
goal in each half 2-0 to Rovers…

This thread shouldn't be about finances but, just bear in mind watching the Wrexham players tomorrow, are on wages at least double the league average AND the amount up for grabs in bonuses should they achieve promotion!

https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1773393850712612920

Of course, they're all playing for the badge!

On their turnover and net worth, a £5m loss isn't bad. Likely, their income will have increased significantly again this season.

3 points will taste very sweet on Tuesday.

Yea me too. Gutted about this. This match would of been so much better kept to a bank holiday monday.

Wrexham at home on a bank holiday would probably have been our highest league attendance since we dropped into this league

That’s 2250 or thereabouts sold inc season ticket holders. That’s good. It will be great to see a full south stand. Hopefully we sell most of those 750 tomorrow and on the night.

Hoping for 7 to 7500 home fans on Tuesday. Wrexham will bring 2500 or more. 10.000 gate under the lights would be great.

You're forgetting about iFollow, Camps. Quite a lot of fans of both clubs will opt for that tomorrow night.

I'm going for a total crowd of between 7000 and 8000.

My brother has a two to two & a half journey to each home game, mine varies between one hour twenty to one hour forty.

We’re both season ticket holders & wouldn’t miss tomorrow’s game ‘live’ as opposed to following on iplayer however, I reckon ifollow could well knock two or more thousand off the gate.

Hope I’m wrong because we’ll need to be in full voice against those Welsh buggers!

That is crazy. It shouldn’t be allowed.
Of course there are some who would rather sit in their arm chairs to watch.
Personally I would never do that for a home match.
As a season ticket holder why would you not go, especially as we are playing brilliant winning football.

Our average home gate (excluding away fans) is around 5800. Midweek it is usually lower than that. I’d be very surprised if tomorrow’s home gate is 50% more than what it usually is, even with our form and it being Wrexham.

I’d love to be wrong but I’d be very surprised if there are more than 6k home fans there tomorrow night.

Fully expect it to be Tommys last game for us that I’ll see so I’ll be giving him an extra clap tomorrow as he’s been one of my favourite players the last few years.

Don’t forget that our away games are home fixtures for our opponents, so by your logic there would be no games available on ifollow at all.  If you try and limit ifollow access to away fans, all you need to do is register on the away club’s site to view.

All be on sky next year anyway with the new TV deal.

Will iFollow still have coverage?
I’m guessing the answer is no.

Depends what you choose to remember. We've had plenty of big wins in front of our home fans but maybe, it's the perpetual desire to feel hard done by, why we choose to remember the pain rather than the joy.

Thanks, I’d not seen that. Massive shake up and probably means we’ll be on TV a dozen times.

“ From the 2024/25 season onward, this new deal with Sky Sports will effectively replace the EFL’s domestic video streaming option provided via iFollow and Club streaming services”

I reckon with international breaks, bank holidays and Tuesday night games UK exiles get about a dozen games through ifollow so not much change there for for me as a Sky subscriber (other than saving £10 a game), but wonder how it will impact overseas exiles? Will also be a lot more expensive for non-Sky subscribers.

Only about a 1000 or so tickets available now in the home ends. You’d expect another couple of hundred to go between now and KO so not far off a home sellout

I read up on this recently. Essentially 5 Saturday games across leagues 1&2 each weekend will be 1230 kick offs to avoid the blackout. So we're bound to get more games moved.  It's not so great for match going fans really.  Can really see the midweek games being affected crowd wise.

I used to use HDMI Lead from Laptop to Telly though if you happen to have one. If not nip into a suitable (i.e. cheap) Shop and get one

Our average home gate (excluding away fans) is around 5800. Midweek it is usually lower than that. I’d be very surprised if tomorrow’s home gate is 50% more than what it usually is, even with our form and it being Wrexham.

I’d love to be wrong but I’d be very surprised if there are more than 6k home fans there tomorrow night.

I'll retract this prediction. Looks like over 8k home tickets sold (though that will include STH's so they may not all attend). The Wrexham factor and our form must have had more of an effect than I thought.

Not sure how many are coming from Wrexham. They were allocated the best part of 3000.

GM also asked for the fans to turn out so that's another factor.

It’s going to be close to a sell out of the areas available. Don’t know what they will bring but I would expect it’s north of 2k, so around 10.5k in total would be my guess

Just reading their messageboard. Someone on there reckons they only have one block left to sell so according to them that equates to approximately 2500 coming.

And on that note, there's only 1,694 home tickets left.

658 left in south stand.

So we are circa 15,000 capacity. 2,400 gone to Wrexham leaving 12,600 and you say there are only 1700 hone tickets left? So roughly 11,000 gone?

Really?

Hand on heart I genuinly hope so but not so sure. Where do these numbers come from?

Away holds roughly 4k, then segregation but not sure what that is.

https://tickets.clubdoncaster.co.uk/en-GB/events/doncaster%20rovers%20v%20wrexham/2024-4-2_19.45/eco-power%20stadium?hallmap

Just had a quick look, not counted exact No but seems to be in the region of what you said.

Thats great news!

COYR!!!!

I think we're on about 8k to 8.5k home tickets sold so far.

Around 5000 of those will be ST holders. Some of them won't be attending for different reasons, including the streaming of the game on iFollow.

I'm one.

Out of the country today and will be streaming online.

The crowd will be artificially high because of kids coming to see Wrexham rather than Rovers, they’ll be teenagers there thinking Ryan Reynolds is gonna turn up. But all money in the pot and maybe some of them will be converted in to rovers fans!

I don't get this. People are saying that it's almost a sell-out. I don't know what the capacity is now, with the segregation and everything, but I can't see it being less than 14000. I believe the away end, including the NE corner, is about 3500. That leaves roughly 10500 home fans.

Assuming around 1000 ST holders don't turn up, and Wrexham bring about 3000, that's a total crowd of something like 12500 in the ground.

I just can't see it, personally.

Nice to see that in the hours following one of our best wins this season - our fifth consecutive win in all games, and our fifth consecutive win on home soil - some still have found the time to drag this forum into negativity with their tit for tat nonsense

Well done to all those who accurately predicted the size of the crowd to nearest individual. Back in the real world nobody gives a toss and we're celebrating a massive win!
