Attendance

[jmt23]

I thought it was pretty poor today given our form and who we were playing. Around 8000 home fans.

I’ve been a supporter just short of 40 years so I suppose it’s good considering what we were getting at Belle Vue during the 80’s and 90’s, I just expected at least 10000 today.

[Spilsby Red]

I can’t make every game or my son and his friend. We are all season ticket holders. There are probably plenty more like us.
Don’t get the worry or concern about home support. We are massively up from only a few season ago.

you expeced 10k homes fans plus 3k away = 13,000? Your exectations are way off jmt. But attedances are up.

One thing I will say, for any neutral attendee today, if that doesn’t bring you back nothing will

Isn’t many neutrals that go. Most are Donny fans that can’t commit to going every week

[roversontheup]

There was a Sheff Wed supporter sat not far from me today. It was his first visit time at a Rovers match and he loved it. Absolutely loved the style of play. Sounded like he will be coming to more of our matches.

McCann has mentioned the empty seats.
I hope it isn’t starting to bother him.

[DearneValleyRover]

I couldn’t make it today, I have an ongoing spinal problem so I’m sure there will be other games I won’t make because of it. I’m sure there are others out there who have issues wether it be work or family too.

[The Dav]

I know we’ve done this to death, but surely we could do complimentary tickets for schools, get them hooked while they’re young and all that ! Seems a no brainer to me!

As a season ticket holder you are counted as being at the game so your absence doesn’t take away from the attendance.

[dknward2]

More and more good performances and being near the top of the table will bring the fans in.

It's been a big month of home games people saving and picking going to spurs over Bradford. Others saving for Leger next week. As the weeks go on the stands will get busier hopefully soon get to selling out more and more sections of the home ends

[andyst79]

Forget the stats , we mastered the art of picking up the 2nd ball today , especially in dangerous areas. We were hungrier and more committed in vital areas and clinical when we needed to be. That's the type of stuff that wins football matches, Huddersfield away our best performance of the season is a typical example.

We shouldn't be grumpy, when did we last get crowds of this size? We weren't getting anything like this even in league 1 and probably not under McCann first time round.

[dknward2]

Mid table of attendance is not bad especially with ex premiership teams in the league.

If we can get 9,000 home fans by the end of the season on average think will do great especially when you add in Tuesday night games

[glosterred]

Last Saturday against Rotherham

Whete has he said this? I've not seen it but heard it mention elsewhere

[Pintolager]

He mentioned it in his interview on RS with Adam Oxley after the match

[Spilsby Red]

This is probably my last season as a season ticket holder due to my terminal brain tumour. I have put money into my club. Can’t get to every game. But there in spirit. People need to realise not everyone can get to a game. Wish I could, had to surrender my driving licence. Coming on the train adds 3 hours either way. That just knackers me out.
Let’s not make attendance the issue as many can’t attend for certain reasons

[Padge_DRFC]

Seeing a 15% ISH rise on last season. Which is okay, expected I'd say. Got to keep at the kids. I know people who didnt use to care one bit about football at all now attend every week because their kids love it.

As mentioned above get in the schools and some will come.

[Prez]

I must admit i thought we would have at least the same number of home fans as the Rotherham game. We have played a few games though of late, including the away games at Boro, udders, and Mansfield, and also the trip to Spurs coming up.

Money is tight for a lot of people.

Some of us forget you could stand on popside with loads of room either side of you.


We have come on loads since those days. I still believe we will continue to grow. Free tickets to schools is a must, get them in before they support weeds.

[Padge_DRFC]

Club I think could look to a deal with on the day payers for the Saturday Tuesday games. Get your Tuesday game for £15 with your Saturday ticket. They will be the really low crowds back in the 6000s 

[jmt23]

All good points and no need to be so defensive on here - I know we're all fans who attend when we can, and that includes me. Also season tickets are included even if you do not attend.

It was an article I read in the Yorkshire Post where Grant is saying we need more bums on seats, again it was mentioned in his post game report. I just thought after our run and the local derby aspect would bring more in.

Spilsby - i am so sorry to hear this and wish you well, and if you can't attend I hope you know someone with the means to watch the games in the comfort of your home.

[paddy hoops]

Yeah I don't go as much as I'd like. Didn't go today as the guys I go with were either working or away so decided I'd watch it on the box. Considering getting one of those 10 game flexi tickets though.

[paddy hoops]

.. I would say though I don't think as many people see Bradford as as big a derby as Rotherham or Barnsley, obviously, or even the likes of Lincoln. So maybe that explains a dip. And with it being on sky you can't really blame people

[Nudga]

Grant and the players are doing their bit, terry and gavin are doing their bit.
What can we as fans do to get more bums on seats?
The black bank are doing great things and it's selling out most weeks, can we get the corners filling out more in some way?

Sounds like it's time for the Donny Bob challenge everyone brings a friend/family member that hasn't been for a while and lets show them what they are missing

[McCammon egg n chips]

I don't understand how anyone could see today's match live and think attendance was poor.. the stadium was rocking, great attendance from home and away, what's not to like. Maybe set your expectations a bit better tbh..

[mpc123]

I had a leak at home and had to call an emergency plumber to come out. There will be loads of reasons why, yet the attendances are fine for where we are at remembering we can only fit another 3k ish in the whole ground

It's more about Grant wanting/needing more people in the stadium to be able to get to where he/we want to be.
