Saw an absoloute beauty of a SAG on twitter suggest they use to take up to 2,500 fans to Griffin Park when they were in the championship.(when dinosaurs roamed the earth). Their end only holds 1,600 fans.. Truly a simple bunch. Were Brentford even in the 2nd Division the last time Rovers were 25 years ago? Still, it's not like a Saghead to lie through his teeth about attendances... Oh wait...yes it is, it's their favourite hobby. Speaking of lies, 'Jarman' who made the original 95% claim hasn't responded to my post even though he's since contributed on another thread. They seem to just come on here, spout bullshit that their mates on Slagchat have told them and then go missing when you prove them wrong.

Division 1 is the same as the premier league div 2 the championship and league one is the poxy third division.

When they spout their lies on their own sites, there's no opposition, just kindred spirits who like to tell themselves how great they are. They can spout any old crap and their fellow losers lap it up. It's become the norm for them as they don't let fans of other clubs onto their forums, unlike proper clubs. They're an embarrassment TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowest crowd was 4861. Highest was their last game at 11,065. Total for the season was 152,440.......which is equal to about 7 of our attendances this season. If we averaged 20,500 in the League this season that would give us 471,500 over 23 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boneheads were throwing a party before that Mansfield game to celebrate staying up by the skin of their teeth....or so they thought. They didn’t average 7000 in Non League, or the year before when their team really needed them. You look at their average attendances over the years and there’s loads of 5/6000s. Pathetic support for a club in one of the biggest City’s in England. We get relegated to L1 with that clown O’Driscoll in charge after one of the most depressing seasons in my memory and we sell 8500 STs. They get promoted to L1 with the club on a high with new supposedly ‘wealthy’ owners promising all sorts and only manage to sell a poxy 5000 STs. Gasheads have been turning their backs on their club for decades. They aren’t anything special, small club with bitter fans pretending to be more loyal than everyone else despite the fact they can’t even fill their tiny ground when they’re doing reasonably well.

The official attendance at their epic relegation match vs the mighty Mansfield was just 10,594 including away supporters and we're told, "a load of Teds". I guess that nearer only 10,000 of their supporters were there to witness the birth of the 15ers. No doubt there would have been more of them present had they only put sae's in with their ticket applications. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
