always had poor support. We used to have more in the away end then there were home fans Seem to remember them having a large following when we beat them in the 73/74 promotion season. Yes, but that was when motormouth Bond was in charge and all over the telly. |

They seemed very much a club on the up at the time. Had some dismal times later didn’t they? Must have come close to going out of the league. |

The 134,000 includes 31,000 at Sunderland, 21,000 at Ipswich, 17,000 at Bolton and Charlton and league 1 has several other big clubs in it i.e. Sheffield Wednesday, Portsmouth and a 'new' Home Park so attendances in league 1 I suspect will be much higher than in previous seasons.
A real shame we are in league 2 as I imagine we would have had several 10,000+ attendances this season!

Assuming these figures are correct that show that of the 23 League One games played on that day 64% of fans attending were at only 4 grounds. Sunderland with 31,000 had nearly 25% of all attending a L1 match. The other 19 matches thus averaged 2,540 fans between them. |

Only half that number of games would be played, istm, so it would be 7 other matches. Still not great, mind. |

So 1,300 AWAY Rovers fans drove hundreds of miles up the motorway on a Saturday when it was overloaded by holiday traffic to watch a game against the mighty Mansfield Town FC. Was it because DC played there?
2409 fans turned up a few days later on the Tuesday night to watch a cup thriller and local derby with Cheltenham. If we can assume Cheltenham brought 100 fans then only 1000 extra HOME fans difference between home and away support.
Looking forward to Stevenage and Oldham bringing 600 fans each so the gate will reach 3,000 just to generate a better atmosphere than the cardboard cut outs we have ben used to for a while.
