Saturdays Attendance
« on April 15, 2024, 05:20:32 pm by Park Rover »
Been down to the Keepmoat today to buy 2 tickets for Barrow and 2 tickets for Colchester. We usually sit in W26 but no 2 tickets were available together above Row K. Staff said it had been manic this morning with tickets for both the Barrow and Colchester games selling really fast.
Looks like we should have a good attendance on Saturday and following next Tuesday. Come on you Reds, we can be the 12th man and get us into the playoffs

just over 500 left in south stand,   if these are correct, is that over 10k tickets gone already?

I wouldn't have thought so as there seems be quite a big amount made unavailable for segregation.
W31, w32, w33 not available for sale
I'm guessing these would be opened up if we sell the rest.

I think if the demand is there could they open up the away end for home fans and stick barrow in the block/s Accrington were in?

Long way to go before the club would even consider this I would have thought

This is good to hear. I think we fans need to do our bit in supporting the club if we have any genuine ambitions to grace higher leagues once more. As an owner, I would want to see my 'investment' being backed as encouragement to continue doing so.

Going forward, if we want to be signing the likes of Adelakun and other quality players, we need to show we can turn up in numbers, not necessarily because we're winning or cheap offers now and again.

This needs to be all over Twitter, Facebook, radio Sheffield and free press.

If people think they could miss out they may rush to buy

Gonna need a daily update if we can sell out the south and family stand, will really start to see the rest of the stadium full up.

Wonder how many we have given barrow if we can stick them in the north end of the east then open up the north stand

Let's hope all those who have bought STs in the east stand turn up as well this week

There should be a more than usual smattering of walk ups too. Who will no doubt be expecting to get a ticket.

Always misleading (the seats left. )
There is around 1/3 of the ground unavailable to rovers due to segregation and away allocation. The whole north stand plus three blocks in the west and the east stand not available (yet) No idea how many Barrow would bring to this. Probably not much.
A 10 k attendance would be great. But it could and should be much more.

There will be some that can't. My lad's got something else on that he doesn't want to miss. I'm sure others are the same but i would rather we still had a season ticket. The kids have probably done about 14 this season which isn't too bad at a young age.

I’m bringing one that probably hasn’t been for about 5 years. If everyone can try and persuade an old timer that’s lost interest, or someone that hasn’t been before then we will sell the place out

I think it's around 8600-8700 home seats available total, when you take out the away section, segregation, mothballed blocks in West Stand.

I make it around 6600 home sales for Saturday so far (plus corporates).

Ashamed to say I haven't been to a game in more than 5 years. ST holder back in the Belle Vue days but life, work and family gets in the way, plus we don't live in Doncaster anymore.

I'll be there along with my wife (who hates football) and my 6 year old daughter who is coming along for her first ever Rovers game.

Just been to get Gillingham ticket and Barrow havent advised of how many they have sold but it seems unlikely that we will open the north to rovers fans.

Every seat near us in W24 is blacked out.  I'd be very surprised if they've been sold. Potentially blocking bottom few rows off to deter a final match pitch invasion? Or leaving those seats open to a promo depending how sales go?

The VSC have committed to buying a batch of tickets too for a sports team or school of the clubs choosing.

£100 seems great value to me for 16 junior and 4 adult tickets.

Put your thumb over the pic, I'm sure they won't notice or care.,
