From various estimates and well known fact that Joey attended the Liverpool v Bristol Rovers FA Cup match when we took 7-8000.The home figure is wrong but hardly that far out IF we are being successful. Hardly worth criticising.

Hardly worth criticising. So how often will we play Liverpool? When was the last time we had 12.5k at the mem? They talk like it’s a regular occurrence. |

The last time Bristol Rovers average home attendance was in five figures was 1975-76 when it was 10,022. Two seasons earlier it was 13,026 which was the only time it has reached 12,500 since 1965. |

Personally l go to a lot of away games, doing well depending where we are 2000 is achievable more if we are playing Swindle |

If we were to be top of the table and playing really well after 10 games I can quite easily see us getting home crowds of 10k . If we’re 8-4th about 7k , below that and we’d be down to 6k or even lower.
The point being , if we have sustained success and really looked like winning the league Gasheads will come out in numbers.
A bit like the need for a new stadium argument, again *if* we got promoted, were doing really well again the following season we’d be near sell outs . It’s all about getting this club on a roll , fans genuinely thinking we’re going places ( a new stadium) and thinking we could survive in the championship.
Lots of ‘ifs’ but it could happen .

You won't get any criticism of the scouse housemates (scousemates?) past Steve - no matter how mild, he won't hear it. |

Considering the Mem has a capacity of 12,011 I'm pretty confident we won't be seeing crowds of 12,500 any time soon. |

I doubt we would get 3k extra fans just because we were top of the table, especially not towards the beginning of the season. If you think back to the last time we were doing well in League Two in 15/16, the only times we were able to scrape 10k (apart from the daggers game) was right at the end of the season when were on a crazy run, playing teams like Exeter and Yeovil who brought 1000 each. Most likely we’ll get crowds of 6 or 7k for most of the season even if we are doing well, with that growing to 8 or 9k if there is a decent chance of promotion in the last 5 home games. |

Clint is simply talking the situation up ; it is time to stop being so negative and get right behind Joey and the backroom team, if we get 10000 for a home game, we will be happy. |

Since we’ve constructed that monstrosity of a stand on the east terrace it’s a lot less than that now! |

If we were top of the league, you have the added draw of Joey.
Some Bristol Prem fans might be interested in coming down. Especially if he knows how to play the media, which he does.

I'm reading that as locals who support neither Bristol team but have a tentative allegiance to a Premier League team AKA 'glory hunter'. |

Yep, really don’t understand these attendance figures.
If we’re doing well we’ll have 8K at home and 1.5K away depending who we’re playing.
Only way we get 12.5K is if we get a new stadium and get that little bounce in support that comes with it.
Can’t just be me who’s concerned that City are the team to choose for the majority of people now? They’ve seriously left us behind and despite their difficulties they’re so far clear of us that we really need a new stadium and some on pitch success before its too late and we’re completely left behind

It's not too late but we really need to get ourselves sorted out. Football wise, if we had a good season and they had a bad one we could both be in L1 in the 2022/23 season. Attendances are transient depending on how well the team is doing and how many the opposition can bring, although in my time I've rarely seen near parity on fan numbers, but if we were in a new stadium in the Championship getting c.12-15,000 it wouldn't really matter if they were getting 20,000+. Same as the Twerton days, when they were getting double our attendance. But we do need to spend serious cash on infrastructure which will take 2, 3 or 4 years to bridge that gap even if we started on Monday. Nothing is impossible given time, money and effort. How much of that we have though? |

I fear you're right but, as mariobalotelli suggests, a new stadium could give a long overdue injection of excitement and positivity. Unfortunately any new stadium is going to be years away, so however well Barton, Hill and the rest do over the next year or two it will be at The Memorial. Still, nine or ten thousand watching a free flowing Bristol Rovers side battling for promotion nine or ten months from now is a pleasant prospect. |
