That wasn't his original discussion point though. Heffernan is frankly irrelevant to the original point, whether or not SOD would have played them together doesn't matter because SOD didn't sign Sharp that year. It was just a hypothetical musing about what could have been in a fantasy scenario.

Well if we’re talking about fantasy scenarios, I’d have had Claude Makalele, Zinedine Zidane and the ghost of Leonidas playing for us in 2008. With Mark Wilson in midfield, obviously. And a copy of Razzle under every seat.

Mark Wilson. Now there's a player I can scarcely believe three different managers signed for us.

Just don't see the need for your attitude on this one BST, but I'm bowing out anyway.

Bournemouth get under 11k on a good day so I think we can match that .





Aye and they have had some serious money thrown at them by a very wealthy owner to get them into the PL.
I don’t think our owners would come close to matching that.

Their ground only holds just over 11k so they are hardly going to get any more in are they?

If you have a manager with a bit of nous you don’t have to have household name players in the team.
I give Brentford as an example again. How many of their players can you name off the top of your head.
Well I am struggling. Got a great manager in Dean Smith.
Preston again not a team full of well known names either.
Millwall and Barnsley to name 2 more.
If we have the right manager which may turn out to be DF and he can keep us in mid table in the Championship for 3/4 years ( When we get back there of course ) then our gates will I believe be around 11/12/13,000
It’s just a case of slowly building our fan base with sensible marketing initiatives. I am sure the club have many more 6 to 18 year olds coming to the Keepmoat than ever before. The club must keep them interested as they are the future life blood.
Anything can be achieved with good management both on and off the field. Positive thinking. Believe.

Campsall, it would be great if your thoughts were to come true.
In the Championship the away end is invariably well populated, and often sold out, which would help with the attendance figures.
I do agree with you that there appears to be more young fans coming to games now.
