I can still see why some City fans will put the boot in considering their fixation on away attendances. Far more embarrassing for them than deliberately snubbing this travesty of a competition is the meagre 8,000 they pulled in for their league bread and butter against Fleetwood last weekend.

A mid table league one PNE, Brentford, Burton and Barnsley would struggle to match the rovers attendance. Before the stadium redeveopment we used to get what between 9.5k - 11k when we were a mid table league one side. The only reason we are getting what we are now is because of the redevelopment. If rovers had a similar redevelopment and investment you know the gap would be much closer. The fact is they don't and even my gas mates admit the best they can hope for is to maybe finish above us for a couple of seasons. I don't like them and they are a deluded bunch but they aren't as tinpot as some of us make out (including me). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNE and Barnsley would never struggle to match Rovers attendances in L1. You could also argue that PNE and Barnsley would have much higher attendances if their catchment area was the size of North and East Bristol with only one local club providing competition for support. Same for Brentford. How many more supporters would the Gas have if they had the same finances and stadium as us? Who knows? All I do know is that in the last 50 odd years they've only had a higher average attendance than us for one season. One season. As for being tinpot....there's clearly nothing tinpot about the Gas!!
