Just looked at the fixtures and didn't know that the game after Leeds is Rovers at home!
10,000 crowd for this one again?
Will Rovers fill the bank?

Rovers are achieving much higher home gates than us this season, hard to believe really seeing the start to the season we are having.
I think they will bring well over the 1,000, cant see us having 9,000 home supporters though, like others I wont be attending home games in the near future either.

the bank holds 2100, but there will be segregation, so probably 1600 or so. they should fill that

Two schools of thought and I have spoken to people taking both stances, and I respect both arguments really. I for one fall into Ralphy's category |

Nothing will stop me going to home games. However I feel about the board I will turn up to support the manager and the team. That's what those 90 minutes are about. Staying away proves nothing in my opinion, if all of us did it, the club would be even worse off

We seem to be averaging 6200 - 6500 for home games.
I haven't looked but how does that compare to previous seasons in league one?

I haven't looked but how does that compare to previous seasons in league one? more than a bad season, less than a good season. we are yet to have a big away crowd too, expect swansea, rovers, forest, leeds and maybe brighton to fill the away end. rovers' home support is falling very quickly. big-ish crowd yesterday for a derby game, but they'll average less than us over the course of the season. |

To be honest, Rovers home gates were big because they had large away followings.
Didn't they play Forest and Leeds?

Back in the play-off season we averaged about 7800, but that was really boosted by huge attendances towards the end of the season when we got 9000-10,000 most games. If the gates are lower now than then it is not by much, and if we win 2 or 3 of our next 4 games and keep pushing the play-off places I would expect it to start to rise a little |

to be honest i would have expected yesterday's crowd to be a lot bigger than it was: we had won our last home game 5-0 and were playing top of the table opponents.
seems obvious what the protest of choice is.

Were Wills, Diamandis and Carson there yesterday? |

Carson only goes to games when we're on tv.

This team is worth 9000 crowds. Three reasons why are crowds remain sluggish.
1. Yeovil on sky, dire game.
2. Bob Holt saying we are about to be liquidated.
3. Not many big followings yet this season.
