Plymouth are a good example of a club with an improved stadium , which attracted more fans and better players . Their geographical position didn’t stop them . Bristol is a big city and great place to live , with the right investment success will happen and the crowds will turn up…… even more so than Plymouth . Did the ground attract better players or was it just the money it created? I've no idea what a pro footballer looks for when it comes to living but you sense most of the present Rovers squad are still based in the north west and must just share lodgings in Bristol. They went into administration and spent time in League two, since doing the majority of their ground. They built a new stand a few seasons ago. The bottom tier is uncovered and they can't sell a lot of the top tier, as you can't see the last ten years of the pitch from either side! So a lot of the tickets in the new stand are cheaper than the rest of the stadium, especially the lower tier. They have more fans, due to investment in the playing squad as they received new investment. If anything they need to build more seats, as 16000 isn't enough most weeks at the moment. It's a lot better than our stadium, but not as good as most new stadiums.

A bit like Somerset CCC, no other county cricket Championship club west of Somerset so the counties of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall are all our catchment area. And Somerset are careful to brand it that way. And crowds reflect that. Plymouth likewise can call on Cornwall to support them. UTG!
