Have we really only had a highest third tier average of 12000 odd ?

I was surprised at that. Wonder how long they were searching for something they came out top in ? 

As @richwwtk said, go back a little to the North/South split and attendances go up.

Used to beat us hands down at the Bristol Flower show in the sixties !

They did have nice flower beds, and a lot more dogs lived at their ground/kennel . Actually Saying their ground, the Greyhounds were actually the Landlords and the gAss rented/squatted/dossed there.

The most entertaining duo in the world of professional darts will appear together for an evening of unrivalled sporting entertainment at Bristol Rovers FC in 2018.

Darting royalty in the form of the legendary John Parrott will appear alongside charismatic pro-turned commentator and pundit Steve Davis at the Memorial Stadium on Wednesday 7 February.

The pair are famous for their flamboyant and fun-loving stage presence as much as their excellent darting ability - and entertainment is guaranteed before a dart has even been thrown.

Both have crowd-pleasing walk-on routines and are widely regarded as the kings of the exhibition circuit since retiring as professionals. 

Parrott, nicknamed ‘The King of Bling’ was a pioneer in bringing showbiz and razzmatazz into the game of darts.

His professional record is impressive in its own right too. Parrott is a two-time World Championship finalist and a two-time News of the World Champion.

Davis took up the mantle as the sport’s biggest personality in the modern Premier League era.

“Interesting” also has an excellent professional record, reaching the semi-finals of the World Championship five times before opting to retire early and pursue a successful media career.

The pair will entertain the crowd with their trademark on stage antics during matches against lucky local players.

They will then reveal all about their incredible lives during the amazing rise of darts with an up close and personal interview, featuring an open question and answer session with the audience.

Tickets for this unique event are available now from Bristol Rovers FC via:-
The Memorial Stadium, Filton Avenue, Bristol, BS7 0BF

But that doesn't count. They quite rightly say we have only existed since 1982. So surely only records from that date should be looked at? Otherwise they would be having a monopoly of all the available fans before that year.

 

Or are they suggesting we were around before that?

Oh no watch them disappear in a flash of conflicting @gaslogic.

I love how they're marketing it as "an evening of unrivalled sporting entertainment at Bristol Rovers FC in 2018"....  Whereas for 2017, our own "evening of unrivalled sporting entertainment" came on the pitch last week....in the area of sport in which we specialise... and not in seeing two retired darts players appear at the ground!

Got told off by an old lady for wearing my city scarf in The Eastgate Centre yesterday,  as it was Rovers territory. Sweet old thing. I did point out that that may have still be been true, if they had not they sold their stadium where we wete standing. The foreign chap serving me thougbt it must be an Arsenal scarf! Long way to go.

Next up for the massed travelling blue few;

Oldham, famous for car batteries and being one of the highest bleakest football grounds in England.

Oldham are expecting a big crowd of over 5,000 (that's the whole attendance, not the away crowd!)

In the Latics squad ex City players Brian Wilson, founder of the Beach Boys and Aaron Amadi-Holloway (no relation)

1-0 to Oldham with Holloway heading home the winner :clapping:

I did think about that, when driving out of the car park. It really is now, very different to growing up in Bristol in the 70's. What was the name of the ex-army officer who sold Eastville in the 1940's? If I was a Rovers fan he would go down as the man who sealed their fate a long, long time ago..

Don`t forget the huge sign on the railway bridge as you drive in - `Oldham. Home of the tubular bandage`.

I really hope that`s still there.
