I often wondered that. What else would people want to do on a Saturday afternoon, other than watch the Rovers??
If the same proportion of the Bristol public went to the Mem as the population of Burnley went to Turf Moor, our average gate would be 114,000!

Quite a curious one that is. |

F*cks me off to the eye teeth to see the new uni students all wandering around in their Bath Rugby tops in freshers week when there's a football club dying on their doorstep. |

The key bit is why is is dying. Rovers is very expensive for what is 4th tier football. As mentioned on here from the first game of the season it isn't exactly a great match day experience for the money either. That all sounds very corporate and not very old school football but it's the way of the world now. |

The fact is that clubs need to charge that much to be able to sustain their position. Players need to be paid X amount otherwise they wouldn't bother being footballers. |

There were teams in the Conference last year who's season tickets weren't much cheaper than ours.

Unfortunately, 4th tier football in a run down stadium (even if we charge the market rate) isn't very attractive. To answer the OP I think that's why we don't see as many people at home games that we'd like. Personally I haven't been for the last 2 seasons as I decided it was the only way to show that I'm not happy with how the club is currently being run. |

I walked around in my Rovers top when Bristol Rugby were in financial trouble, they possibly have as much interest in the sport of football as I do rugby. |
