Club and Country Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Just reading through the news of the world, i know its late but i cant believe we have had 45,000 more fans through the turnstiles then they have! Interesting! One Team In Bristol springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I thought it might be more, but they have played Yeovil which knocked the average up a bit. Considering the drop and how #### they've been I have been suprised by how much their attendance has held up. By the end of the season it could be 150,000 that averages out at about £1.5m in gate receipts alone, wow!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unown Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 Do you guys know what you're on about, we haven't played yeovil yet, we've played a load of poorly supported teams that do ##### all to boost the attendance. And of course you're going to have more fans through the turnstiles, you are in the top half of div2, i'd like to see you're attendances if you were s####ping for football league survival like us last season.

Guest spanish fly Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 7,000 plus to watch them is brilliant - makes me remember the faithfull few thousand in the 4th division watching City - Rovers can be proud as can City looking at other attendances in the 3rd, 2nd and even 1st divisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 i'd like to see you're attendances if you were s####ping for football league survival like us last season. I'm certain our attendances would be higher than yours currently are. Saying that, averaging around 7,000 is very good for the football you're witnessing week-in, week-out.

ziderhead2003 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I think that the rovers fans are very loyal. what they have gone through. and they still turn up with a goodis crowd each game. especially for away games they got brilliant surport for them. I still hae them though. CIDER HEAD 4 EVER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I duuno stu, you're attendance did slip below the 10,000 mark this season against vale(i think) after you'd lost a game or two before hand. I'm not doubting you'd still probably do well, but it is evident there are a lot of fair weather fans at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhombrecito Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 but it is evident there are a lot of fair weather fans at AG. That's very true. More than most I'd say. But I still think we'd have a better average than you - but no way to prove it as the only was is up baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest city slicker 71 Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 7,000 plus to watch them is brilliant - makes me remember the faithfull few thousand in the 4th division watching City - Rovers can be proud as can City looking at other attendances in the 3rd, 2nd and even 1st divisions Quite right on that one, any 1 of the Rovers 7000 + the AG faithfull are worth 5000 of the so-called followers of the big clubs. Along comes a mega rich investor ( probably for the first time in his life curious to know what it is like to actually share something) then out from nowhere they appear..like flies around ######! Easiest thing in the world to do is identify oneself with a club that's paid for, any fool can do it, it usually starts in infancy bedspreads , shirts and the like carries on through adolecence to the extent in some severe cases of trying to adopt a mancunian accent or strutting around in a Newcastle shirt in the middle of January?

Maltshoveller Posted November 18, 2003 Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 it is evident there are a lot of fair weather fans at AG. ALL clubs have fair weather fans Newcastle utd who meny say have the best fans were only getting gates of between 9000 and 12000 in div 1 just before keegan took over ( how fair weather is that ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it also goes that the better you are doing the more fair weather fans will attend, like your example of newcastle. But i think you will see a fall in our gates soon, people are beggining to lose patience with Graydon, we really are stripped to the core, fanwise. I just think it'd be interesting to see how many you got in our position, not a likely story though' at the mo. Listening as i do to radio briz, i doubt whether a lot of your fans would stand for the ###### we have to put up with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_84 Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Fair credit to Rovers, they get among the best attendances in the third division, and this is for a team who were on the verge of the first division a few years ago, clearly some loyal (and possibly brain damaged!) fans, I hope (and i'm sure the majority would be) of City fans would be as supportive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest norfolk in chance Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Just to add that the Gas attendances are boosted by their "Kids for a Quid" scheme that they use quite often. That certainly puts a few extra on the attendance and brings in some of the Gas's own "Fairweather" supporters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
