Promotion wasn’t exactly guaranteed was it? It’s not like we just had to turn up… I think it’s the least you’d expect under the circumstances. It’s not a ground they visit most seasons so many fans would want to ‘tick it off’. If the tables were turned they’d absolutely rip the piss out of us for not selling out before claiming they’d have taken thousands. Exeter taking 1200 to Derby on Tuesday night overshadows 937 Gasheads imo especially when you factor in their obsession with supposedly huge away followings. Although to be far to the Gas they were also competing with Sky whereas Exeter weren't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On their ONE previous visit in 4 decades? Like I say, sums up those threads. As the apparant 'smaller' Bristol club ive allways thought rovers have brought more than city over the years Er, when did they last take 5k to Hillsborough ?

I'm not sure you're right. What's wrong with thinking that 3000% of their everage 9k sell out, (in a 12k capacity stadium) go to away games, meaning that 900 tickets sold, should be reported as 1200 tickets plus the obvious hoardes that remain in the car park. It's bit like their £10million valuations on £200k players..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As already mentioned the only reason they took 900 last night and 3000 on Saturday is the novelty of a big stadium they almost never visit. Thats why they wouldn’t have taken 900 to Rotherham last night. We’re no different. Genuinely impressed with Exeter though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyisared Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Seems like there's more secretly undecover Rovers fans on this forum than actual City fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattyisared Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Given attendance chat; it seems they've sold out their Derby allocation of 3100 tickets: Personally, I think the attendance number was decent; certainly not "embarrassing." Though as Peter said I think Exeter bringing 1200 is more impressive. Rovers are probably a 10th-13th best fanbase as ranked in L1 (note: maybe not this season because this season L1 is packed with a couple decently sized clubs); they'll give good attendances and good performances on big games, but the issue is it dips a lot on smaller games and we, as well as most other Championship clubs don't really do that. But if they ever do get their supposed stadium over the line it'll be interesting to see if the Mem was really that poor a group or if they've just reached their ceiling.
