I think the only reason people are refering to the late 70's and 80's are because thats when your club was at it's peak. Compare Bradford and Warringtons crowds when they were at their peak.



provide half decent facilities without charging us more than anybody else and we'll have no excuse for not coming to Craven Park. If Hudgell takes the pee then again,he'll get what he deserves.

I think that your friend is mistaken. Perhaps if all the planned work happens we might get 14000 for a derby match but an average of 14000 would rely too heavily on fans turning up from clubs that just don't travel.



In fact to get a 14000 average we would need some games at 18/19000 and there are no plans to increase capacity to anything like that amount.



Even a 10/11000 average in five years would be a challenge.

I remember going to Odsal hen Rovers and Bradford were battling it out at the top of the table, there was around 6,500 in there and a good third of them were from Rovers. Its a different scenario to the 80's, in fact its a totally different world we live in, so direct comparisons don't work.



We dont up the price for Hull, its not discounted, there is a big difference. You do the same for your games against clubs who don't travel, in fact you actually DID up the price for the derby.

A Black and White mate of mine tells me that FC will average over 17000 for home games.

Has anyone else heard this and do you think it's realistic?

no,no, no, no, no...............yes.

Maybe you could sort your crap all of a south terrace out then,so you don't put people off.Then again knock the lot down and start again.Anyway we could fill your ground no problem and you know it.

Not heard it but is it realistic... yes..

14000 crowds will never happen.10000+ average would be heaven sent to the board.

I think you need to understand the concept of "average" before posting again!

Regardless of what stand and facilities any club has I go to support my team, dosnt matter about a crap view in an uncovered stand! Obviously 'in any kind of weather' dosnt apply to some of your lot! Good on them the loyal FC fans that did turn up by the way.

Price dosnt come into it either because when i'm paying £20 or less I don't care if I sit or stand wherever that may be.

The south stand will be sorted in time but at the moment its not a priority, the east stand being extended is as we know we have a chance of filling it and increase revenue. No point building a stand that is only going to be filled once a season if you decide to turn up.

Yes you could fill our ground no problem so why don't you try filling the south stand for a start and support your team!

Rovers are targeting a 10,000 average so your 'mate' is wrong.

Really, looks pretty textbook to me.
