Pretty sure we sold out the home allocation in the 15/16 season for about 5-7 games. The run in for the last few games were a sell out, plus one or two games around the Christmas period as well I think. If not, very close to it.
If we’re up there for a decent proportion of the season we will surpass 10k regularly.
Over to you Joey.

Would love to know where they are getting theses attendance figures from. He's clearly included the thousands locked outside

If we’re flying after 10 games we will get 10k and if we ever get a new stadium we will average Minimum 15k a game

If we are successful with a promotion push towards the end, then attendances will be decent. Paradoxically we could enjoy better attendances in L2 but very dependent on Covid restrictions and how well we are doing. www.footballwebpages.co.uk/bristol-rovers/attendances/2019-2020

Always find it odd that City fans always talk their club up while Rovers fans talk theirs down, probably due to the years of frustration at stadium projects never coming to fruition. But I still believe if we can get off to a decent start next season along with hopefully Barton’s influence & positivity there’s no reason why we shouldn’t be getting 8k plus crowds which should increase if we get amongst the leading pack.

Do they? Maybe as a stick to beat us with but they moan like f**k between themselves even against Lansdown which is incredible when you think about what he has done for them. The rare occasions I did venture to OTIB, apart from talking about us (obvs), they seemed to whinge about that Diedhiou guy who seemed to be the only one who scored for them. What id have given for someone to score goals and not much else last season!!

For instance the crowds never grew under GC because of negative talk from fans about the games. Despite the highest league position (at the time ) in a generation and the leagues best striker. Also, you will find crowds can drop really quick after a bad result or performance but it takes quite a consistent good run to persuade peopke they are missing out on something good. So thats the challenge to fans. After each game highlight the positives. The player who did really well despite the loss. The good goal scored ,that excellent move 2nd half . How the atmosphere was buzzing etc etc. Sure have a gripe as well but see it as a duty of a fan to talk up the good moments.

I have the feeling if we do well attendances will be the highest they have been for years because of this Pandemic people will just want to get out and watch football again if we are allowed high attendances..

I hope you are right Steve. Lord knows the club could do with the income. However 12.5k at the Mem is impossible let alone regularly, 4K away? Without doing research how many away ends in league two will hold that many? Anyway let’s hope for a good Euros for England then look forward to having Rovers back.

This is my take and view of whats likely to happen. But as much as that could happen they could be hit as well. It seems to me we have a problem growing our support base amongst younger supporters as the Prem grows ever influential and our neighbours continue to overshadow us. On the other end, some people will have found other things to do with their Saturday. And sadly some of our supporters will have passed away as part of the pandemic. Some will be nervous about returning to crowded environments for the short to medium, possibly even long term. Whatever does happen it’ll be ‘interesting’ to see how our attendances will be affected.

I'm reading that as locals who support neither Bristol team but have a tentative allegiance to a Premier League team AKA 'glory hunter'. Ahhh . . . Gotcha - cheers for clearing that up 👍

Nothing wrong with trying to big the club up.
It's taking the maximun and suggesting it's the norm but I don't see anything wrong with that.
We've had over 11k a few times. West Brom in the cup, Alfreton in the Conference and Dagenham in L2 to name a few.
Depending on Covid if we can be in and around the top 3 all season I can see us averaging close to 10k next season. Everyone is desperate to get back to watching live football.
Of course it depends how we're doing on the pitch. Bottom half and it will be 5-7k, play off push 7-9k and in the top 3 all season 9-11k.

So an FA Cup quarter final and the final two home games with promotion riding on it? We will never get that much for a regular game.

Yes, maybe crowds of 10-11k in a clapped-out stadium with facilities the Flintstones would question. Hardly going to entice a future generation of supporters.
