How can the team succeed, when hardly anybody turns up. You can't beat a 20,000 plus crowd, to motivate the players.

Historically Rovers and the other teams around here don't get those type of crowds in the championship even when doing well, odd games aside.

I keep seeing stuff like this across social media and it's pure fantasy bollocks.

Yes bigger crowds should inspire the players but we started this season with only 11k home fans v Brum due to stupid greedy fleecing pricing. That set the tone for the season and we threw that game away anyway.

Then you have Derby and a big home turnout and the team didn't turn up against another no great shakes side. A few seasons back with Wharton etc still here v Watford big home turnout cheap tickets and threw a 1 nil lead to end up losing.

There SHOULD be the 12k hardcore there but for several reasons there'll be a lot less and THAT is the real issue now created by these clowns.

Not some fantasy about 20k Prem style gates.

You thought we would get bullied at PNE and lose, but we didn't did we. 

We beaten teams like Hull, Leicester, Bristol City, Southampton this season. 

I will always back my team and the players 🔵⚪

Also thought we would beat Portsmouth, and didn't.

This game is a triple boycott for me.

1) Support the coalition 

2) Personal choice opposition to Sky 12.30 Saturday kick offs

3) Personal choice after Sheffield Wednesday game no longer attend match where rain is forecast due to high probability of wasting your money

Fully agree with you but these fans aren’t coming back until Venkys are gone. Boycott is the club’s only hope.

14 years ago this rhetoric was used when Kean was in charge to "back the boys" during the 2011 Christmas period. The crowd did their part. The team lost every match. 

Crowd size won't make a difference when we have a shit manager and average players (being kind). The owners showing actual ambition in their running of the club is how things turn around. We'll never see that though, so we're going nowhere whether 300 or 30,000 are at the ground.

I agree with your comments, but a 20,000 crowd would motivate a decent team.

Prove it

If ismael played me, in front of 20,000 Rovers supporters, Rovers would be 3-0 up in the first half hour.

At the moment we haven't got a decent team.

[WacoRover]

But there should be the pride, of playing the  game they love, if not to wear the shirt.

 If guys want to further their careers, they should always play hard.
