The thing is, how many STs have we sold this season? I really can't understand why the club don't announce this.
I'm guessing around 4500, and I expect Notts to bring between 2500 and 3000. On that basis we only need to sell around 3000 home tickets to get 10000 plus in the stadium.
I'll go for 10121.

That's impressive from them. I'm going to go 10740 based on that.

If they have sold 3k then we are likely going to be at or just over 11k.

Looking back at last seasons attendances we seem to be getting about 800 more home fans each game.
A whopping extra 2000 or so turned up for the Wrexham game for some reason but the numbers for home fans has been bigger since then.

Helps that we are near the top of the league this season and long may it continue people will come and see a winning team

If they have sold 3000. Why haven't they been given down the side of the east stand. The same question needs answering as to why wasn't Grimsby given more tickets.

The Chesterfield gate was 10790 with 3027 from Chesterfield. We are going to be very close to 11k on Saturday.

I find it impressive their support home and away considering they have Nottingham Forest 200 yards away. Double what we took to Bradford they are bringing.

I think it might be for the reason that the East Stand is fuller with Rovers fans this season.

You have to remember they ate a well supported club and have history playing at a higher level than the past few decades. If they got to the championship I'd bet they wouldn't be fat off filling there ground most weeks. When I was at school they was a div 1 div 2 side whilst we was div 4 and lucky to get 3 k gates most weeks. They remind me of a Burnley or a Preston. Had Nottingham only had one side they could have a 50 to 60 k stadium. Instead you got 2 clubs that can draw 30k plus in forest and 20 in County. It's such a shame we have never done nothing of note as Doncaster as a one club town should be able to get 25 k going on Population even without playing in the prem. Instead they all go Leeds and Sheffield sides and even a few go Manchester. Although our support has grown since John Ryan took over its not gone past the 5.5k to 7k hard-core fans that will go most home games. I remember after Stoke all the young kids in rovers tops. Was great to see, them kids are now all the singers and create a good atmosphere. When they have kids you have to hope they follow and support rovers and over time Doncaster should have bigger gates as its a big town. I mean city.

Rovers aren’t allowed to give part of the East Stand to away fans anymore due to safety reasons.

When did that start from?
Is it just for when the North Stand is sold out?

Was wondering the same as we have already had away fans in the East, instead of opening the North, for the smaller contingents.

So is it a numbers thing allowing too many in ? As a lot of teams are being put in the east stand when small numbers

Interesting that most people on here think that our home support numbers are not going to go much above what we normally get, that is about 6.5 - 7.5 thousand.
It’s not holiday season and it’s well before Christmas, so is it a reflection on our perceived form? Or has the last home game left a sour enough taste in the ‘waverer’s’ minds to put them off coming back for this one?
3 consecutive away wins in one week, albeit one of them against a very young Barnsley side, surely, you would have thought, would give a few the extra encouragement to attend this tricky fixture (for both sides).
Whatever the attendance figures are, it should be a cracking atmosphere and I hope the team can put on a display.
-
South stand starting to sell better as the week has gone on, now three blocks sold out.
Always wondered why the club doesn't big up the ticket sales, it generates interest and encourages the floaters be part of something. The club need to tap into the psychological FOMO syndrome.
-
Buy one get one half price a possible marketing tool? Either for bigger games like this to almost guarantee ground is full or for the midweek games to get the attendance up
-
Not sure I can stomach the club promoting individual games it always seems to result in us losing the game (in my memory at least)
-

We can't keep putting offers on as that undermines one of the main benefits of buying memberships and multi tickets. Our ticket prices are relatively affordable so we shouldn't be undercutting even more. I doubt very much price is a barrier for attending.
I think those with sufficient interest, including all those extra numbers that turned up during our winning run last season, will know how we're doing, who we're playing and how much it'll cost them for a ticket.
Should we continue with sufficient form, the crowds will gradually build naturally without having to discount tickets.
The weathers looking quite favourable at the moment so that should encourage more walk ups on the day too.
-
Shouldn’t need any offers this one. Top of the table clash against a good, local ish club should sell itself. Recent patchy home form probably doesn’t help though. We really need to pick it up

Average for Saturday games this season (excluding away fans) is around 7000. You'd hope we'd exceed that tomorrow with it being a big game. Plus Notts Co bringing 3k. I'd be very surprised if it was under 10k. Wouldn't be entirely shocked if it was closer to 11k if recent results have captured the imagination a bit.

Happy days, Grant wants a crowd to the left and a crowd to the right. (No clowns though)
We really do owe Notts County a beating, particularly after that Boxing Day disaster.
Big match tomorrow, we’ve had a couple of home hiccups, and this is a big chance to put a marker down after the super win at Bradford.
They’ve done us 26 times we’ve done them 25 with 8 draws.
Last 4 League games won 2 (2017 the last win) and lost 2 (last season of course)
Here’s to 11,000plus

Only 327 south stand tickets left.

The east and west stands won't include the blocks closer the north stand.
I'm still non the wiser as to why a decision on health and safety have prevented away fans from using the east stand. It seems ridiculous to me. If we can't sell them, then away supporters should be able to use that part of the east stand.

That's right, not sure on the official capacity nowadays, it's not 15,500 anyway.
Segregation, broken seats , TV screen and unreserved standing have lowered it considerably.
So let's say capacity 14,000, Notts sold 3k, we've got 1,250 ish left so we've sold around 9750 home tickets (I think)

Nah, it’s a lower than that (home ticket sales). As pointed out above, I don’t think you are taking into account the two sizable areas in the east and west that we can’t sell. I would imagine there is only 8000 tickets we can sell. So we’ve probably sold about 6800

So you're saying our overall capacity is around 12,000?
3,500 reduction from the original capacity seems a hell of a lot
-
Yes currently, 12k is probably about right. The segregated East and west blocks probably accounts for about 1500 seats at least. The reduction in the south for unreserved was reported as circa 500 I think, then the screen, then the segregation between East/south/west and finally the reduction in the away end. Sure when the stadium first opened we gave away teams 3,300 as standard just in the north? Appears to only be 3k now, so another reduction there
-
Ah OK thanks CC. I didn't realise it was as much as that.
That's ridiculous, if we manage to get through to the 3rd round and draw someone like Manure, Liverpool we'd be losing out on 2.5 to 3k ticket sales
-
12,889 v Crewe. The total would have been higher if they'd sold out the north stand rather than us having half as more lost seats this way.

Surely to got even baldwin could realise we don't need all the segregation in the west stand. The seats are there , so we should be able to use them if needed.
-
The attendance v Crewe last season was 12,889. I don't think we've lost that many seats since.

Also the north stand (away allocation) has lowered from 3334 to 2970 because that is also now unreserved seating....yet more reduction in capacity and revenue.....for no reason other than health and safety grounds I suspect.
-
6 blocks of south stand now sold out.
289 tickets left in south stand which should sell out with walk ups
-

Yes, It’s a balance between safety/comfort and costs/profit.
Narrowing the gaps for segregation etc is possible but then you'd have to hire extra stewards. If we didn't, and there was an incident, the question would be asked if we took all reasonable steps to avoid. For the sake of a few seats where the average income for each seat is about £12, is it really worth trying to shoe horn more folk in??
I think the club staff and safety group are fully aware of the pro's and cons and have been good in managing the supply v demand over the years.
-
That's why four sided stadiums are better than bowl stadiums, natural segregation.
Hopefully when we win the league One title and go up to the championship, we'll have rail seats in the south stand.

Got to remember the Eco is a multi purpose stadium and because we have the flexibility we can host all sorts of events that we wouldn't be able to otherwise. Events where no segregation is required.
Should we rise up to the Championship for example and we sell 8000 STs, then we can afford to increase prices, which woulf mean more income per seat, so we could hire more stewarding if the demand is there.
For the same reasons, I'm not sure it would be worth installing rail seats but let's hope we get to a point when we have to think about it.
-
Just been to the ticket office to get a ticket for my nephew. Most of the staff are brilliant and can’t do enough for you but there’s one who has no customer service skills and makes everything difficult, needless to say I walked out without getting him one, so there’ll be two of us rather than three, I’ve given him a fiver to hang around the shops and cadge fags.

Is that because he isn't on the system?

Baz, can you elaborate on the health and safety grounds as to why no away fans are no longer permitted to use the northern section of the east stand. For well over ten years we've allowed towards 1000 humans to be located in this section.....but a decision has been taken that thinks it is no longer safer for upwards of 1000 humans to be located in a modern, purpose built, multi use sports stadium in the year 2024 to support the team they follow?

I don't know but I intend to ask questions.
I doubt it's something that's cast in stone but more likely, we'll just avoid using it because we don't have to. Maybe the reason for avoiding it could be the potential conflict between away fans and home fans in the boxes above. That's just speculation on my part. Likely the small numbers of Morecamble and Bromley fans justified putting them in there, rather than opening up the North.

120 tickets remaining in the south stand

Notts fan here. It has been a remarkable turnaround in our attendances in the past few years. We got over 10k to our first 6 home games this season. Last time we achieved that was 1981 in the top flight.
It's hard to pinpoint why exactly our crowds have more than doubled - it seems there is a few reasons.
Bizarrely Forest being in the EPL has helped us. Their ticket prices are extortionate and that's it you can get a ticket. For any family wanting to watch football in Nottingham there only real option now is Notts and it's seem a whole new gen of younger fans watch us. I've also met a few now regulars that back in the day watched forest but drifted over to watch us in the past few years and stayed.
Our owners have invested in the right areas - a new very expensive sounds system, an EPL quality pitch and they bought a warehouse next to the ground and turned it into a huge fanzone. All these things have added to the match day experience.
Finally, just like chesterfield and Stockport we have had a huge bump from having success albeit in the conference. In our 4 years down there we rarely lost a game at home and people enjoyed the experience of watching a team play nice football and nearly always win.
I find it impressive their support home and away considering they have Nottingham Forest 200 yards away. Double what we took to Bradford they are bringing.
You have to remember they ate a well supported club and have history playing at a higher level than the past few decades. If they got to the championship I'd bet they wouldn't be fat off filling there ground most weeks. When I was at school they was a div 1 div 2 side whilst we was div 4 and lucky to get 3 k gates most weeks. They remind me of a Burnley or a Preston. Had Nottingham only had one side they could have a 50 to 60 k stadium. Instead you got 2 clubs that can draw 30k plus in forest and 20 in County. It's such a shame we have never done nothing of note as Doncaster as a one club town should be able to get 25 k going on Population even without playing in the prem. Instead they all go Leeds and Sheffield sides and even a few go Manchester. Although our support has grown since John Ryan took over its not gone past the 5.5k to 7k hard-core fans that will go most home games. I remember after Stoke all the young kids in rovers tops. Was great to see, them kids are now all the singers and create a good atmosphere. When they have kids you have to hope they follow and support rovers and over time Doncaster should have bigger gates as its a big town. I mean city.

10988 with 2981 from Notts County. Looks like they undersold Chesterfield for some reason. Was advertised as away sell out so not sure how that happened. Didn’t make a right lot of noise either.
-
Over 8k home fans then. Really good turn outs lately.
-
To say they brought 3000, and fair play to them for that, I thought their support was terrible.
Chesterfield were so much better, and they were nothing to write home about

Good for league 2 football, to put it in perspective again today the crowd was bigger than our last ground's capacity. The club is progressing again just has a feel about the place.
Thought fans were good today bar some idiots booing at half time. Modern football is losing = boo. Frustrating that.

My 11.150 guess was pretty good.
Think 2 or 3 got it closer than me.
Good gate. 8.000 home fans. Let’s hope the extra 1000 that came today are enthused enough by the 2nd half performance to keep turning up for the rest of the season.
What will the gate be next week? Salford will bring 200 only
Will we get 8.000? I would like to think so but so many of our fans are fickle so expect it to be down to around 7.200/300 ish for this one.
Salford is not a glamour game. ;)
-
Well done hound your the winner.
-
They were not booing the ref in the south stand - it most definitely was aimed at the players.
There was a huge frustration from a corner Notts C had, Sterry and another think it was Hurst failed to mark or close down the short corner, even though there was a break in play, and it was very obvious what they would do. - it led to a unchallenged cross, and a lot of anger.
I was looking at the defenders and during the break in play, they were looking to the bench for who to mark, so it was a tactical play, not a fault that should lay at the players door - but they took some s… for it and then got booed off.

Further perspective: 8017 home fans in the ground on Saturday was only bettered last season on three occasions. The Wrexham game, Barrow game and Crewe in the play-off home leg.
It is more home fans in the ground than we had for the L1 play-off semi-final game at home to Charlton in 2019, in McCann's first spell in charge (7452).
Our form since February is clearly winning people over and getting people through the door more than anything since we were in the Championship. Really hope we can capitalise on it and get some of those extra fans to stick around.

I wonder if some half season tickets will be given as Christmas presents? It could be a nice little earner if we are still doing well.

This needs to be pushed relentlessly, not an odd plug here and there, starting by getting it on the big screen throughout home games and getting the matchday announcer to plug it as well

Over 8k home fans then. Really good turn outs lately.
Good for league 2 football, to put it in perspective again today the crowd was bigger than our last ground's capacity. The club is progressing again just has a feel about the place.
Thought fans were good today bar some idiots booing at half time. Modern football is losing = boo. Frustrating that.
I think the fans were booing the referee at half time.
Three near me booing and moaning throughout the first half.
Let me know where you sit philsky, I happen to know where I might be able to call on a couple of ex Para’s.
I was in the south stand end of a row.
It was a group of young supporters (20 years old or so) and gave it a proper huge boooooo at HT.
I doubt they've ever been to Welling to see us struggle to a 1-1 draw; the infamous San Siro. Then they'd boo !!

In the programme too - if we still have one. Website. Literature.

I was there too that day Philsky. Out in the open air in the rain in the second half if I remember correctly.

PS. Wonder if it's still the San Siro?! Helluva place....!

The thing that hit me the hardest was seeing a man with a dog in the 'stadium' - I mean we'd really hit rock bottom !

Further perspective: 8017 home fans in the ground on Saturday was only bettered last season on three occasions. The Wrexham game, Barrow game and Crewe in the play-off home leg.
It is more home fans in the ground than we had for the L1 play-off semi-final game at home to Charlton in 2019, in McCann's first spell in charge (7452).
Our form since February is clearly winning people over and getting people through the door more than anything since we were in the Championship. Really hope we can capitalise on it and get some of those extra fans to stick around.
That's a really good perspective pib.

Maybe the booing at the half time whistle might have been intended for the referee.

I wonder if some half season tickets will be given as Christmas presents? It could be a nice little earner if we are still doing well.
When is the first game for the half season ticket, was considering getting one for Xmas but if it's before new year then maybe I need to pick a ten game flex ticket

Really good to see 8k home fans there Saturday. 2 games in a row at home id imagine we'll see a dip this Saturday, but hopefully still get 7k home fans in

Won’t need Para’s then, just a handful of our ‘long suffering’ wives!

Maybe the booing at the half time whistle might have been intended for the referee.
I think that if fans want to boo the ref they usually wait until the teams have left the field then boo the ref as he follows them down the tunnel.
The booing on Saturday was immediately after the half time whistle was blown.

If that is right you get 12 games, just over half the 23 home games.
Bargain.
