Blimey, fewer (no pun ? intended, honest) than 1,100 supporters from two of our one time major rivals combined for a local(ish)  derby.

Reckon if LJ or SL had put out a call for a groups of Bristol City Carol Singing fans to go out bouncing around the town tonight we'd have mustered better numbers than The Gas & Swindon managed for a game.

Don't knock the ones that stay away, knock the ones that attend in this case, a decent competition has become a PL reserves kick about...I would like to think (god forbid) that if we were ever in this cup again we would stay away and not support it.

You can hardly knock the ones that attended.....that’s your real hard core who just went to support their team regardless of the competition.

It's embarrassing because it's far too many!  The format of this competition is a joke, and an insult to fans.

But how those convictions start to falter the closer to Wembley they get. Talk of a boycott is cheap at these early stages, an easy excuse for a lack of enthusiasm to attend at all. I wonder what an equivalent fixture at an equivalent stage would have generated “pre-boycott”?

Dropping towards mid-table.

I understand that they need over 9k average to stop losing 60k per week.

That aint going to happen..

Not at all- the more that stay away in this competition the better.

Fair play. 
I like the commitment that your lot show you boycotting matches. 
You take it so seriously that most of you even rehearse it at league games..!

I think they need more than 9000 through the door to cover their 65k a week loss.

65k x 52wks = £3,380,000

Divide that by 22 home games, £153,636 (loss per match)

Let's say everyone pays twenty five quid (they won't, assume kids and OAPs pay less).

This means that they need an additional 6145 people paying twenty five quid per home game to cover that weekly loss.

That 8648 isn't their capacity is it? I don't understand that table.

ground capacity is irrelevant.  They can't get anywhere near it.  Anyway, tent sizes are measured in berths, so it is actually a 12,300 berth tented village (ala refugee camp). If this shithole was in France, it would have been dismantled by now.

The capacity is the figure in green.

Despite having the best start to a season for 2 decades they only fill their tiny stadium by 59.9% on average. How remarkably ‘loyal’ they are....?

During our first season back in the Championship we had a reduced capacity of around 15k. We spent most of the season in the bottom 3, getting dicked on a semi regular basis (even after LJ took over) and only secured safety with 2 games to spare yet we had the most ‘full’ stadium outside the Prem. They’ve got no excuse for their shit crowds.

The headers haven't lined up properly.

First column is average attendance, second is lowest for the season so far, third is highest so far.

Yes I worked that out now. This our league by comparison by the way.

We have only had 7 home games compared to the Rovers 9, we have also had more TV coverage of our games. Their total gates over 9 games amount to just over 66k, two more games at our average will take us to over 195k. The Forest game is already looking to be well in excess of 22k on it's own so we could be looking at over 200k after 9 games. Mind the Gap is not a big enough insult anymore.

:laugh: sorry dont really pay attention to who's left in or out, but I do know they couldnt play Brighton as it's north v south in the final.

Sorry to say but you are wrong  it's  only the first two ko rounds (pus the group stages) which remain regionalised before an open draw from the quarter-finals onwards
