Re: Rovers attendance
Stanley have the same problem they always had. They are sandwiched between Rovers and Burnley and nothing will change that. I do go to Stanley occasionally (not as much as I would like) but I think that too much of their support is like me (Burnley or Rovers fans on a day off). It is a shame because they have come back from the dead and local people should be proud of them but old habits are hard to break, especially where football is concerned.
The one thing I do like when I go there is the atmosphere. I'm whisked back to the days when football was a working man's game. Basic facilities, cold and people not eating prawn sandwiches with their champagne. Long live the likes of Stanley, they are real football, not premiere league hype and prima donnas on telephone number wages. |
Re: Rovers attendance
it doesnt help, when a season ticket at rovers is cheaper than stanley, burnley not much more.
loyalties are loyalties, but with waining crowds all round (ok the rovers thing is part in protest, i was at the last home game, at rovers, and official figures just short of 14 thousand, and for most of match it was like an away game), bums on seats are harder to come by, and what are the clubs doing to get the "waverer" like me there. i have to admit i was only at rovers game, because i had free tickets for players lounge,as as a guest of Bruno, he is mate of a mate |

I doubt if Rovers will touch anywhere near 20,000 this season apart the odd big game (Burnley, Bolton or one of the big midlands clubs if they are doing well). The Championship boasts good attendances (last I looked the 5th or 6th best supported league in Europe), good quality football and far more competition than the premiership could ever offer (3 or 4 teams looking at the championship with the rest just happy to avoid relegation). Rovers fans should get used to it in the second tier - it's all you've got for a while, and not many relegated teams go straight back up (a few fall straight through). |
