Title: Attendance prediction Swindon v Rovers
Post by: 4D on Sunday, April 19, 2009, 22:24:03
I have come across one or two comments that next Saturday should see a full house. I don't think it will be to be honest.....my guesstimate is 10,020.

Any predictions?

I posted something a while back, when the OS said they were expecting a full house. I thought it sounded like bollocks though. We'll have atleast 7000, they'll bring atleast 2,000...so I'll go for 10,998

Somewhere between ten and eleven thousand I guess. Although seeing R4E's suggestion I'll go high with 10,999.

Of course that leaves me open to somebody going with eleventhousand. gay.

If ever there was a time to action the old cliché of 'tearing up the form book for a passionate derby encounter' this is it.

A draw may not be enough, but it would mean Crewe and Carlisle effectively have to win their last two.

I was a bit annoyed about the early kick-off, means we will have to get Sprog out of bed before 9am on a Saturday  ::)

However, on the plus side at least we will get home in time to watch the Speedway :)


And FWIW, I reckon the crowd will be just over 10k

I can't be bothered with the pub on Saturday. Usual places only open at 11am which'll only give about 45 minutes of drinking. The alternatives are Groves or The Savoy which I imagine will be full of Rovers.

I might just get some tinnies and sit in the park.

Posh Red - When he's out on the razz the night before, change the clocks forward a couple of hours then wake him up in a rush at 8am (which he'll think is 10am). You'll make the pub by 9am and after a pint he'll thank you for it.

I reckon Rovers will be shunted off to Sir Dan's and Groves. I'll probably go to the Savaloy.

Me and my dad normally go to the Grove, mainly due to being able to park and leave his car there for free and it always has a share of away support. First game of the season a few back there was loads of Wendies though but it was a pretty good atmosphere and not too many mongs go there looking for trouble.

I think Si means the Groves Company Inn Weatherspoons down bottom of town where generally you get a lot of mongs and away supporters.  The actual Grove pub is a bit friendlier but wont be open that early on a Saturday.

Just got my tickets, they struggled to get 2 arkells near the town end together, so i asked if they were selling out, but the answer was everyone sat near the away supporters has moved along so as not to potentially get hit by a flying seat! So i reckon 10k is pretty on the mark.

Jesus christ, just how over the top are the police going with this game?

12pm kick off
Pensioners and season ticket holders only in the away arkells section
Moving anyone within 20 metre of said Rovers pensioners and ST holders to the other end of the stand

Fuck me, Liverpool and manchester police manage to get liverpool v man u games kicked off at 12.45 with less restrictions than this with 7/8 times more fans and more hatred between them.
