Didn't even think there were 3600 there, so its right in my eyes. Unless of course GGMI thinks Rovers are fiddling the revenue in which case let's hope the revenue close us down. What a prat. Why am I a prat for simply asking a question? Stay classy. Come off it GGMI. Firstly the club/ turnstile operators are up to no good and now the club's attendance figures are questioned.

Looked about right to me, East Terrace and Thatchers looked less than half full, West Terrace looked busy but then again only has a 1000 capacity. All seated areas very empty. I say people saying we'd get 6-7,000 before but I just couldn't see it, early cup reply on a wet Tuesday night coming up to Christmas with 2 more home games soon. Pretty standard, especially if you look at other attendances on the night. Coventry only got 2,000 in general I find that in the lesser games people over-estimate how many people might be there because they see quite a few on the blackthorn and west terraces and forget that the rest of the ground is close to empty. On the blackthorn we spread out when there is room, and then bunch up when there isn't. From a distance it must look relatively similar. less than 100 away fans. evening matches often see the south stand and family enc almost empty, as kids less likely to come. east terrace is always the last to fill up. all these make a massive difference to the overall crowd.

How many did they say ? I said to my mate I thought there was between 4,500 and 5,000. 3676 I thought it looked about that 5 minutes before kick off but there were quite a few arriving as the game kicked off. I'm amazed there were less than 4000 there at the final count. Not the first time this has happened and I've heard plenty of other clubs fans say / write similar things too. The FA cup has certainly taken a turn for the worse these last few years. I remember a first round cup game v Hereford when they were non league they brought about 1200 and the gate was about 9000 if I remember right and that was in the last ten years, I think We were league 2 at the time. I guess everything the FA run is just becoming sh**e because they don't know their arses from their elbows and they're too busy sucking off the Premier league and taking back handers to worry about it.

I think the problem is that people make their judgements against the official league match crowds which include season ticket holders who haven't actually turned up.
So what we think 5,000 looks like may only be 4,500 for example.

I thought you'd already done a thread on this?!?? Anyway, isn't this an old chestnut? Sure I've heard this kind of claim before down the years. Whatever - you might be right but what can you do about it? I asked for a mod to delete it as I realised afterwards that it wasn't very diplomatic. [ I thought it was fine. Long live internet freedom.
