A town of our size should not have 3-4000 less home fans than what Rotherham and Barnsley get

Yes Barnsley have I agree but not Rotheham.I think you need to check them.Rotherham haven't seen the same level of decline in their attendances during their time in the Championship for a start. The last time we were at the same level, they averaged more. Please give me some facts which back up your claim. And I'll wage with you now that they average more than us next season.
It's their third season and average is 9800. And let's not ignore the fact they've had numerous sell outs.
The one thing Rotherham did right was building a stadium right on the edge of the town centre. If the keepmoat was built where the old college was I think our crowds would be better!
New York stadium holds 12000 so why are they not averaging more than 9.800 ?The proof in the original question will be known in May 2018 assuming Rotherham get relegated and I think it is very probable they will.We only need 30 more points max to get promotion.
We've still got 305,000 (over 40,000 more than Rotherham) people living in Doncaster, so only 5,000 turning up isn't great at all. Compare it to Burnley (Premier League, I know) who get 20,000 for a town of 87,000 people.

Who gives a flying f**k??We won again, and won well.. we are top of the league and will hopefully stay there or in the top 3..That's the important thing isn't it??
