Yeah I know thats what I said... but we had more fans in general then, well who go to matches. Lets be honest and not sure this is the right thread for this but I couldnt give a rats ass, we had an explosion of local fans when we won the prem and before that, when we got promoted under kenny, and a lot of these fans are now not interested the bandwagon has rolled out of town. Some of these fans (esp youngsters like us) have stayed with the club and become loyal fans but we would probably have supported rovers had they been in div 3 because they are our local team and we love football. What i'm trying to say is we have roughly the same amount of hardcore day in day out supporters as burnley or preston but burnley will take more fans away than us and looking at the lancs evening post recently preston take about the same. They are a league below us with nowhere near as good a recent history! A LOT of big city clubs would be chuffed with what we have acheived recently but its not good enough for small town small minded people when things arent going as well. I hate reading posts like these when they come from other people and I could probably write an equally convincing but conradictory post but right now I think our home/away attendances have been appaling and i'd be suprised if that all changed for a visit to pie land.
