Attendance 11 thousand. Doesn't look like a boycott 

The only time this season there will have been more than 11,000 Rovers fans in the stadium will have been the 150th anniversary, take no notice.

Include 9,000 season tickets.

That's a terrible number for the club.

I'd say that's a success.

[Mattyblue]

It’s a numbers game.

What was the ‘real’ attendance for the last Saturday 3pm. What will it be for the next one.

There’s your barometer.

[wilsdenrover]

Around 3,500 down on last year’s official attendance vs Watford.

It's a BIG BOYCOTT.

PRESSURE ON.

 

[Tomphil2]

They counted the Watford contingent 3 times !

[RevidgeBlue]

7,600 looks about right tbf.

The question is how that stacks up against other Saturday "real" attendances.

[Tomphil2]

A good couple of thousand down i'd say plus the ones who were already staying away and still are.

Not sure why they even bother going, given how little they care.

[RoversClitheroe]

A fair few chose to boycott today, and a fair few chose not too.

But when you hear all the fans booing through Roverstv, it absolutely baffles me.

What are you even booing? Your unhappiness? If you're unhappy you had a chance to boycott to show that unhappiness in a much much more impactful way.

To pretend that they are doing something.

Anyone know who the middle man is between the two stooges?

[StHelensRover]

Anyone else heard this Venkyclapper David on Radio Lancs just now?

Talked absolute shite for 10 minutes about Rovers. Said we're a brilliant team with brilliant players, talked complete rubbish. It's like he's been watching a different team.

Then spent 2 minutes proper hammering the boycotters. Smug as anything and tone deaf.

Thick as mince and probably getting a free hospitality ticket in the post.

If he speaks for the majority of people who attended today (not saying he does, no idea) then we are absolutely goosed. 

Furious hearing that, would love to know if he ever frequents here. He sounded like one or two regular posters with his level of delusion.

Yep, absolute bellend, saying he thought we would get to mid table ! These people just don’t deserve the air time, a bumbling idiot !

[Mattyblue]

There would have been plenty of ‘David’s’ at Hillsborough whilst the wages were being paid.

Nothing you can do with such people.

Looks to me like today was successful as a first step in a longer resistance process/protest, with circa 4-5k having stayed away. 

Well done to all involved.

As others have said, people have very personal reasons and circumstances for attending or not attending.

My guess is that 50% of the remnant core Rovers support decided to vote with their feet, enough is enough !

[Ossydave]

As empty as it looked, I expected it to be worse. Suppose we’ve become used to it always looking empty now though so not much impact today sadly. 
 

Worth a try, not particularly successful though.
