Bcfc1982ltd sports dept. Have only had 1 season that bettered our 1954 best lowest gate. Our 8078 lowest gate season was also better than 22 of 'their' seasons since 1961. To be fair i have to admit their lowest gate figures since 2016 have been pretty good. I’ve read this about ten times and still don’t understand what the **** they are talking about? Can somebody explain please. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 If they’re going to start comparing attendance stats then the ones that really matter is that Rovers have only had a higher average attendance than us once in 56 years and they haven’t averaged over 10k since the mid 70s. For a club who claim to have such massive, loyal support they certainly seem confused about the location of the ground on match day. 3 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair i have to admit their lowest gate figures since 2016 have been pretty good. I also have no idea what this means! Are they saying their lowest average attendance ever is 8,078? That is obviously wrong as they averaged only 5k 15 years ago and plenty of occasions 6k since then. I think what he might be saying is that in 1954 their lowest gate that season was 19,638 and our lowest gate each season is often less than that? https://european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/league/brir.htm BUT WHERE DID THEY ALL GO?????? They have literally played professional, competitive games in cup competitions in recent history with LESS THAN 1,000 fans there ffs!

Can somebody explain please. No idea and I often find this with some of those lot especially on their forum. What I do absolutely love about them though is how they use any information or stats in any form to try and get one over us. This one for example: Your correct their attendances are always a few thousand down on the attendance they actually give out. But so is ours. Not quite as drastic as there's but ours is also down on the figure given out as it doesn't include no shows, pre bought tickets and season ticket holders. So with absolutely no proof they have established that City’s true figure is way worse than rovers. I do find it funny how they try at every topic around stadium and attendances to find some way to better us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 As usual, a mix of deluded and sensible on their forum. One person suggesting they have room for a stadium up to 25k and if they get to the Championship, they could fill it. Another pointing out they get a third of our attendances these days, the kids around Bristol are all wearing red and where are all these fans expecting to suddenly appear from? Who to believe?

It's a real stretch to get one over us. TBF, they can't rely on highest attendance, highest average attendance or any other sensible stat . So go for the highest, lowest attendance FFS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Social Media will be flooded with videos about this. No more will clubs be ranked on average attendances, league positions, honours or stadium capacity…no! From now on every club will be ranked by their highest lowest attendances but NOT their lowest highest attendances. Use figures from 7 decades ago because that’ll be relevant. Maybe use a percentage of something in relation to something else. #Gasmath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody explain please. I can't explain the highest lowest gate theory Peter but 1954 was a very significant year for Anglo Irish relations. Many unkind historians have claimed our football tour to be the start of "the troubles" but fortunately not everything is black and white as you will see from the photographs below. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 This 'build it and they will come' fantasy. From their forum:- ........there is a lot of gas support out there and not just in Bristol, I’ve seen far more gas shirts in Wiltshire than city ones. I have lived in Wiltshire for 59 years. I cannot recall ever seeing a Rovers shirt in Wiltshire. It is mostly Bath rugby shirts, the odd City shirt, the odd Swindon shirt (only in the Swindon area), plus of course the usual PL team shirts in the age groups where winning a trophy makes for playground bragging rights.
