Boomstick, you don't half talk tripe at times, we will not get a pittance from the game at all, car parking,shop sales, bar and food sales, TV fees, advertising, programme sales, if nothing else they allow more for the turnover for fair play rules. Add the fact that all three other participants who are much bigger pool their cut and we will come out of it quite well I think. And when was the last time you got an assist from where you were sitting, or gave a player instructions that caused him to score a goal? Apart from that we get our share of any money distributed to the division 1 clubs by the EFL the same as every other club.
This thread is depressing. Some people get far too worked up about a few empty seats. Or a few seats that aren't empty, as it appears!Just look forward to the game and enjoy the fact we are in this position! Most teams are facing their first football-free weekend of the year today!

He’ll probably care a lot more if one of their players gives them an advantage.The players they have won't change, the performance they give can. Improved by more of their fans. Really surprised you cant see the concept of marginal gains. It's short sighted penny pinching by the club on this occasion.( although I'll repeat, I do think they are doing an OK job on the whole)So you would rather see empty seats then? It doesn’t look as if this game has captured the imagination of the Doncaster public. If it had we would have sold out by Thurs tea time.Charlton snapped up the further allocated 800 tickets in a day. They had sold 3.000 already.Looks as though it has captured their imagination doesn’t it? Ex premier league club slumming it in League 1Well done to the Charlton fans. You have to applaud that level of support from 185 miles away.Charlton are a bigger club than us with a bigger fan base.hound we know that but your missing the point. This is a league 1 play off match. All we are asking is for 10.200 of the local population to turn up. Not 20.000+

I just think some people spend too much time obsessing over things like this when they really don't matter. It's not like the stadium is going to be empty is it, it's going to be one of our biggest attendances of the season quite comfortably.
I reckon there's fewer than 800 tickets left now in the main areas with another 460 in the family sections. To all intents and purposes, it'll be a sell out.Just to make some bleeding noise now.
Paul, having a lot of supporters while you are winning a game is great, our job and the teams is to make their strength a weakness. Having a large number on your back, leaving the ground early, audibly frustrated can be an absolute nightmare. Being an ex Leeds supporter you should know that.
Hope they dont get you "loads of Cards"
Villa vs WBA was a sell-out before general sale mate. Second leg at the Hawthorns is also sold-out already.
Don't ever understand why people get fixated with attendances, bet Salford did not care playing in front of just over 8k today at Wembley and winning promotion to the league for the first time

So Charlton will have over 4000 fans there and we will have 9500 at most.Have the club shot themselves in the foot with this?Yes it's definitely money in the bank but we know how much noise that many fans can make in the away end. For such an important game some clever tactics are needed and I think that this is where our club comes up short and shows its nievity at times. We need every bit of advantage we can get. Look at Sunderland who have only given Portsmouth 2000.thats less than for a league game. Even if we didn't sell out, so what... Its our ground and up to us to manage the support behined the team. To be honest, abit more patience and I think we would have sold out the ground meaning it would have been over 10k fans to support rovers and more support to the team.It's time like this when I wonder when are we going to learn, its also times like this when having JR there I'm sure he would have said not to do itLook at it on the flip side.With nearly 4k away fans there's a greater chance that there'll be a few cockroaches amongst them who'll shout abuse/slag off their own players (every club has 'fans' like that). If they've got a few sensitive players, it might affect their performance.The fans won't get at their own players...it's a sort of unspoken rule this season out of respect for Bowyer and what he's trying to achieve.....plus every player will give their all for the team. If we go one down there will be no negative reaction, you'll find us very disciplined and patient.
