[Archived] Rovers Attendance This Season To Date

[Mike Graham]

Just looked at the Premier League website and our average attendance this season after the Hull game is: 25,136

This has only be bettered as follows:

95/96 27,714 (season after Champs)

02/03 26,226

98/99 25,761 (relegated)

94/95 25,277 (Champs)

97/98 25,253

09/10 25,136

Clearly John Williams has done agreat job re getting the fans in.....as for the fare seved up on the pitch I worry as to next seasons attendances.

Given who we still have to play at home yet I would think there is every chance we will end up beating the championship winning season. You're right about next year - the challenge is to keep as many of our 19,000+ ST holders as we can.

Off the top of my head, didnt we average 26k in 02/03?

Great job by Rovers and even better job by fans turning up! Remember a few years ago v e.g. Fulham when we would get around £18K?

The big test is next season and I fear we'll be losing quite a few ST holders. It's great we've improved our league position but people want to be entertained a little bit more.

you are correct, it was 26,226....sorry!

I have corrected the original post.

Now THAT was a good season to watch Rovers. Tugay, Dunn, Duff, Jansen, Cole, Gillespie and even Hignett were all on fire and we played some superb football.

With the games remaining - we should hit 26k this season hopefully....

Hopefully the Fans will stick with us and renew too....afterall its the club you support, not the style of football!

Quick question - I wasnt there, but how many did Hull bring? Full 3k?

They filled just over half, so i'd guess around 1800ish?

Could you add David Thompson to that? Or have I mixed my seasons up?

The support has held strong and that average will be nearer to 26,000 by seasons end...not bad at all really.
