Quote from: MrFrost on July 30, 2013, 02:58:32 pm8-9k is still poor.Cant see what you winging about how many years have you followed rovers and seen them have an attendance of over 10k? even at wemberly and cardiff they couldnt sell out! Rovers won't be attracting of 10k until they've had a year or two in the prem, within an hours drive from donny there are teams who have won the old first division, the premiership, the champions league, fa cup! Historically over the past few generations the people of Doncaster have gone to watch these team taking their sons and grandsons with them! It's why round Gloucestershire loads support villa, reading, wolves driving past gloucester city, Cheltenham town, Swindon and Bristol! Many say on here it's not about been a successful team but it makes a massive difference and those teams with a history of achievement have the most supporters! Like when people say moneys not everything until they can't pay the bills it may not be everything but its important!
8-9k is still poor.

We have had over 10k countless times over the last 10 years.My point being 8k would be below the average we had of our last season at this level - which in my opinion would be poor.Of course winning games will be the main factor - but I still feel Rovers are missing a trick when it comes to getting people through the gates.

Any chance of renaming this thread "Ticket sales thread" and letting Mr Frost moan about it all season in one place so its easier to avoid?I actually agree with you on quite a few of your concerns generally Mr Frost but your ticket sales obsession is boring.
Hi allI'm aware ticket sales and marketing regularly comes up as an topic of discussion on the forum. In a similar manner to Andy Thompson who invited people behind the scenes to look at and discuss the pitch renovations, I'd be more than happy to arrange a meeting with those interested in marketing and ticket sales.If anyone is interested PM me and I'll set something up.ThanksShaun
We certainly haven't had countless attendances over 10k in the last ten years.Hardly any that weren't against local sides.

Go ahead Frosty, now's the time to have some constructive input rather than moaning!!
The club can do more in publicising the game but I do not think we could attract more people. May be all the posters on this board, taking the exiles out are not going on Saturday.
