The way fans are talking anybody would think we've lost thousands off our average gates this season, when the truth is that our attendances have been around the 7,000/8,000 mark for around a decade. If we have a good season then they increase by 1,000 or so before dropping back again. The last time we averaged over 10,000 gates was in 1976! european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/league/brir.htm |

Was just thinking the same! Back of a fag packet maths if London has a population of 10 million would equate to Charlton having an average attendance of 540,000? Orient support is terrible only averaging 264,000! None of it makes sense without the workings. Charlton either has a population of about 15,000 (for the named area) or about 290,000 (it's in Greenwich) or 8,860,000 (Greenwich is in London). Their average home attendance this season is 12,453 so they're either at 83% of the named district or 4.3% of the wider political suburb. no idea where 5.49% comes from. |

Not sure that's got anything to do with the data as even if we were a top 6 L1 side I doubt the percentage figure would increase by a great deal. Assuming the figure is correct then it seems Bristollians simply aren't that interested in watching Rovers. |

A very encouraging OP.
The potential upside looks incredible.

A very encouraging OP. The potential upside looks incredible. UTG. Totally agree. This is why Rovers are always an attractive purchase to suitable investors and why ultimately the current owners will do very nicely thank you if they invest in a winning team. |

Has anyone ever owned our club and walked away with a suitcase of cash, rather than a mahoosive debt? Doubt it. |

I really think we are missing a trick in restricting away fans to 1300. The ground can hold 12000 . We average 7500. If we allowed CAT A team big followings. It would increase income revenue and boost attendances . I been saying this since forums begun. I never expected we would spend £4 million on a new stand and limited away capacity to less than the tent era . www.bwfc.co.uk/news/ticket-information-bristol-rovers-0 |

Surely the strategy should be for MMT to put a team on the pitch which is capable of winning all its game by playing attractive football and scoring goals = points and which encourages what has become a large group of latent supporter's to come back and fill up the ground. Doh. n.b. unfortunately the current match day atmosphere is awful, the match day experience is awful, and the facilities are awful and the football is well as bad as its ever been. Thems the breaks, if Taylor cannot sort it then the Owners need put up, or allow someone else to step in. Happy days. |

Apologies if I have this wrong. Whatever, I'm 57 and I can assure you that the football is not "as bas as it's ever been." I'm not pretending it's champagne football at the moment, but I've seen infinitely worse from Rovers than we're currently witnessing. |

We are losing 10k plus away fans a season which equates to £250-500k a season plus goods purchased. And what a silly proposal we limited away fans to 1300 in a 12000 stadium. If you want to limit away fans . Why bother increasing the ground capacity ?. Small wonder we haven't heard anything from the owners in a year. Lastly if the football is poor as you are stating( your words). Surely this is even more justification to sell extra seats to football fans . Blocking extra revenue is typical ' graveyard thinking '. |

So if the club spends £1-2 million to wrap the East terrace section into a stand area . We still put a levy of 1300 on away allocation ?. How depressing !. |

I'd argue a raucous away following might actually get a squeak out of Gasheads...

What Peter is completely missing is that those extra away fans would generate more revenue which could be put into ( better) players which would then make the likelihood of winning games more likely! chicken & egg innit |

Going by 2021 census for population and this seasons attendances so far.
Yeovil 6.68%
FGR (Nailsworth) 33.22% 😯
Would be interesting to see attendances based on population within a certain radius.
Yeovil has fairly small surrounding towns.
I'd expect a large contingency of FGR supporters are from Stroud.
In conclusion it's not really worth relying on the figures. Not looked at it as still pinching salt but assume they pretty much used a well known internet site.
