Well after today it's a massive thank you for bankrolling DRFC when only 7500 home fans could be bothered to turn up today.

[GazLaz]

Very poor turn out.

[WheatleyRover]

Well done though to those who did show up today

If 7500 could be bothered, how many couldn’t? That is the question !

[drfchound]

7500 home fans is probably more than we usually get.

[Bristol Red Rover]

The family section was notably more empty than for the Cov and Palace games, that's suggesting a good number of people with kids had Sunday stuff booked. "not bothered" is a daft way of putting it.

Our support is growing, slowly.

Why would respectful adults want to take kids after witnessing last weeks cavemen causing fear and havoc

[Retdon1]

I was surprised at how many stayed away today

[Bristol Red Rover]

That as well.

[Padge_DRFC]

Our support is going down. Southend attendance same scenario?

“ stayed away” or didn’t go?

Exactly. We went but the little one who has a season ticket didn't and another sth in our group had already planned a weekend away.

The problem with the play offs is the short notice, you can't plan for it in a week.

[mushRTID]

I was away today I’m afraid. Weekend away booked 3 months ago.

Managed to find a pub with it on though. Got my ticket for Friday and I genuinely still believe we can do it.

What today has shown is that most of the league games (and especially the final game against Coventry) is how fabricated the attendances are.

12700 against Coventry with 2100 away, meaning 10600 home fans, versus the 7500 home fans today. Not a chance, and it is embarrassing trying to claim that there was.

[StocksArmy]

How many turned up who had not been all season?

[jmt23]

It doesn’t help that the Doncaster fa refused to change the day or time, for the kids cup final tournament. There are teams packed full of rovers fans, who were torn, and gutted about the day. The Doncaster fa need to hang their heads, I’m not sure who benefited from that.

No it wasn’t the same.. second leg at home after 9-0 away..

[steve@dcfd]

The owners have achieved their plan to get to the playoffs and must be thanked for financially supporting that.
If we do not get promoted then next season we will need more support to improve the squad especially with best players leaving and others not signing contracts will be a big transfer window what ever league we are in.

[keith79]

£21 and on sky TV. That why people never came.

[IDM]

Plenty came, more than usual.. what’s the problem.??

[redarmy82]

Plenty came, more than usual.. what’s the problem.??

3000 less home fans than the last league game if you believe the attendances given.

[WheatleyRover]

The Coventry game had more people turn up

[IDM]

I said more than usual.. don’t forget the regular season attendances include st holders who don’t turn up..

[BillyStubbsTears]

I think someone wants to have a long hard look at that ticketing website.

According to that site, there were not many more than a thousand unsold tickets at tea time last night. But we were 3000 shy of a full house.

Summat not right somewhere.

Not all the tickets are released for sale.
They didn't open the last 3 blocks in the west stand. That's 1200 there. Take away segregation, the front 3 rows of the south and north stand, definitely 1000 empty seats in east stand, and there you go.

It's the normal league games that have hugely inflated attendances given. 8000 average. Nearer to 6000 IMO.

[phil old leake]

TV obviously killed it for travelling fans

Gates are given as tickets sold, therefore a normal league game includes all season tickets, today's game could not and did not. Figures are not 'inflated'.

Maybe some fans who were thinking about going had their minds changed when they’d read the moaning drivel that some folk insist on posting on here? Let’s face it, this forum is hardly a great advert for the club is it?

And maybe some fans were abducted by aliens......seems as a propensity for preposterousness is about to be unleashed....

[Padge_DRFC]

Half the town celebrating their win at Derby hungover today
