I heard a similar estimate yesterday which would be a surprisingly encouraging turnout (yes, a few ST holders will be missing but still be counted). If 9000 is achieved, it will be the best opening home attendance since our Championship days.

14:42 Sunday update ok getting ready for the final countdown now

South stand sold out fantastic effort everyone

Now let’s sell out the west and east

[Nudga]

South stand sold out fantastic effort everyone

Now let’s sell out the west and east

It is a great effort but need to remember lots of ST holders will be away plus the cut in non reserved seating.

Still brilliant though and I can't wait.

Let the club know and they will resell your ticket and give you a rebate.

Exeter fans saying they have sold 480

[johnny rovers]

Good numbers so far from Exeter. I predict they will fetch 700-800.

Amazing the south stand is sold out with almost a week to go. How times are changing for the Rovers and the club Doncaster brand. Wonderful to see.

I know this might be a stupid question but does the club leave so many seats available in the South Stand to sell on the day or nigh. Therefore has all seats been sold to STH or supporters buying them

Due to unreserved seating I believe the whole stand can’t be sold. Once it’s stated sold out no more tickets will be sold on the day though.

[TonySoprano]

It is looking good, last season the black bank only sold out 3/4 days before games.

To do so earlier is good

I think with the likely pressure on seats for the South Stand, it might be prudent if the club and fan groups remind folk of the ability to re sell seats. (If I'm absent it wouldn't bother me, they could have it for nowt, so it's a bonus to get any credit)

I wonder if it's worth creating a separate email for South Standers to report their absences, so the spaces can be te used and publicise it more frequently.

[sf9944]

Think it’s a great idea for the club to email south standers about reselling if they can’t make it. Benefits everyone- club, st holder and person buying the available seat. Also advertises right at the start of the season that this can be done. Most season ticket holders are unaware I reckon.

1:10 Monday update

East Stand - 1065
West Stand - 959

Numbers looking good

[Pintolager]

Just bought mine, so that's another one less in the west stand.

Exeter fan here. Considering anything under three hours away is seen as a local derby for us we should still have anywhere between 600-750 fans coming to you on Sat. All the best

Maybe something that can also be included in the pre match 'all you need to know' email that goes out, and be includes each time?

Might also be worthwhile for the Shadow Board & Black Bank to look at other ways of maximising the seats available in the South without compromising safety and comfort, whilst keeping it unreserved. Perhaps another area is finding a way to use more of the restricted seats in front of the scoreboard as an overflow.

Yes, of course there's generally plenty of seats elsewhere but naturally people will be drawn to where the most atmosphere is generated.

[RoversInSpain]

Would anyone know the full capacity of the South stand and also how many seats are not sold due to the unreserved seating precautions?

Generally you don’t receive a response, the credit will be automatically added to your account.

I believe it’s something in the region of 10%

Couldn’t agree more with all of this. Feel the club should be proactive about maximising ticket availability and that now is the time. Start as we mean to go on.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Just generally about the South Stand , I think we need to observe and see how things evolve this season before we change much. We know how quickly things can change in football so the ebb and flow of ticket demand will always happen.

For example, if folk can't get tickets in the South, what location as they choosing as an alternative? Are they picking the next available block in East or West? How many are we talking about and how often will it happen? Does it really matter to them?  Is it detracting from their matchday experience?

If it's something that's going to happen regularly, then we may need to gather alot more feedback to understand the size of the problem if there is one. For example, we could say expand the South Stand on both sides by another block...but then we have to consider access to concourses and exits, how many reserved ST holders would be affected in those expanded areas? Lots of things to consider.

[drfchound]

The south stand is a really great place to watch the game from.
Lots of friends to see every week and loads to talk about.
Best of all, on a good day there is a fantastic atmosphere.
It isn’t surprising that tickets are selling out.

[Alan Southstand]

I’ll second that, hound. I enjoyed last season, overall, with maybe one or two downers through the season. Looking forward to this one despite the threat of us having some tough games, potentially.

[Padge_DRFC]

East and west have much better views. It's a shame we had to build the ground like we did and have 20 yards between the pitch to front row
