Yes, a comparison to the games either side of it seems a fair enough barometer.

If only there was some kind of digital solution available that would enable supporters to buy tickets…someone with IT skills should look into this.

The "real" crowds are 6-7k because of the situation that's been pertaining at the Club for the last 15 years in general and (at the current levels) the last 12 months in particular. The boycott will bring attention to the cause, put a focus on the overall situation, and as long as there's not a noticeable increase in attendance in protest against the call for a boycott I don' see how anyone can see it as a bad thing or why anyone needs to obsess over bare numbers. There are also organic factors to take into consideration as well. If we lose every game between now and Watford, crowds could get even worse than they are now. If we win every game between now and then they'll undoubtedly perk up a bit. The fairest test on numbers is the difference in attendance between the Watford game and the home game immediately before.

@KidderStreetNoise has been on the case…

Best birthday present for your lad would be to take part in the boycott, knowing he played a part in saving his club.

Don’t buy into this growing narrative at all regarding Leonard. would I have preferred a loan move yes absolutely but he isn’t the answer for us hopefully he continues his good form seems a doing genuine lad

Yes, but calling for an official boycott is hopefully the first stage of that process.

There are truly no lengths you will not go to to defend the indefensible or confuse the situation to try and deflect blame away from the Club.

We should recall Leonard in January...oh wait...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cj69djzyjx6o 60 years ago today Rovers and Blackpool played the last ever Christmas Day fixture We lost the game, but which Rovers legend scored the last ever Christmas Day goal?

Agree with pretty much all that, but I think Miller and McLoughlin fall into the 'ok' category for me just now, same with TGH. There is clear room for improvement. Gudjohnsen is proving to be a good poacher at this level. I like the dynamic of him and Ohashi...they just need support in the way of backup forwards. Morishita has flattered to deceive at times, but I do think he's a decent player. I think Baradji is going to be quality, if he is given a run of games. The major poor signing of the summer has been De Neve, although I didn't exactly have high hopes for him in the first place. Oh and Tavares...who I did actually have hope for, has been woeful. It's imperative that they make some decent signings next month, and not the rag tag recruitment of last January.

Tavares is the most disappointing one for me i was expecting something from him. Sure there's a player there but he really doesn't look like he fits here. The likes of Kargbo and Gueye are ten a penny types, one can sprint but not much else, the other is athletic and nothing else. They either click or they don't there's never anything in between with those types. De Neve is pants but we've only really seen him trying to be a LWB, which he isn't. THG don't mind him at all as a squad man and similar with Henriksson. Mclaughin and Miller are exactly what i expected them to be, in and out but both will get better hopefully.

But the actual attendance can be found I believe, via the police, and a freedom of information request.

With context yes if we compare to last season then it’s a fail which I agree it should never have come to this and we have downgraded in most positions however without comparing to last season and just looking at ‘this seasons squad’ and how they have performed for us given where they have come from I think as stated about 50% of the signings have been average or above still a failure on last season mind you but more treating my grading on their own merit

Wouldn't be surprised if it's down to paying for an extra allocation which they won't want to do. So they'll just suspend sales then put the last block up for sale later but of course if you were Sheff Weds you'd not be impressed. Being in admin though they might well be asking for money up front for blocks of tickets.

I'll take a punt and say 1400 ish.

Sorry. I went through tough times Christmas 2023. Just lost my parents to cancer. Was a tough Christmas. Hope u keep well

Why would a club run by administrators (I.e their whole remit is to rescue the business) instruct tickets in just one stand to be taken off sale nearly a week before the game. Of course it’s a Rovers decision.

It’ll be forgotten about within 24 hours. It has to cost them as much money as possible. When every home game starts costing them money to play they’ll pull the plug.

But every attendance figures always including ST numbers even on teams like Man United. But the biggest blow at Sheffield Wednesday was HMRC bill. Is that not correct? Crowds are low at the minute but 12.30 kick offs are always lower attended. Lets see how the next 2 games are attend and the Watford game?.

Quite surprised some think Brittain is better... Alebiosu is a league ahead in quality and it's not even close in my opinion. He plays like a player who came through at Arsenal and even if he didn't make it there, should be playing in the same league.

Hence my point who decide to take them off sale, us or them? That's my question

Thats the whole point!

The boycotts at Hillsborough worked a treat, it was that effective the club couldn't deny it happening. Grimsby and Boro had more fans in the ground than Wednesday did, it made national news. Our game against Millwall on SKY mentioned the dwindling crowds in commentry, its plan to see, nobody needs offical figures.

Gudjohnsen has decent link up play. Alebiosu has been our star signing. Morishita has been solid signing. McLoughlin and Miller has been more than solid signings, yet the odd bad performance grant Baradji is the one I want to see more off. TGH has been orite Not every signing will work out but that's normal within a football club
