I’m with you on that Campsall, although the attendances will usually follow the league position..A crowd equalling or bettering our best league attendance this season is good enough..

Is ambition not something worthy or something?We all want us to compete on equal terms Campsall.It will not happen financially though.Sorry hound, IT WILL NOT HAPPEN FINANCIALLY? What never? We may as well all give up and go home then. Why will it not happen? This is not Fleetwood with no population. Burton with no history etc etc.Premier league parachute payments might just have an influence.Far bigger clubs than us with far bigger attendances could also possibly play a part.Burton and Fleetwood won’t be in the Championship.

I am sure we will get 13.500. or even more on Sunday which is good but let’s face it if we didn’t get 10.000 home fans in for a League 1 play off when would we?
Quote from: Campsall rover on May 09, 2019, 08:52:52 pmQuote from: drfchound on May 09, 2019, 08:34:37 pmBut, as has been stated earlier in this and other threads, there are many reasons why some supporters are unable to attend.Yes but every club can say that. It is not unique to Doncaster that people are not able to go for one reason or another.It is time this town got of its arse and started supporting the local team in larger numbers.We are not a pub team as some still want to portray us as. We have owners that we should all be very thankful for ( Understatement ) A set up that is community orientated, a fantastic modern stadium and a team that has the desire and ability to be successful. WHAT MORE DOES THE DONCASTER PUBLIC WANT. If we get to Wembley every Tom Dick and Harry will be wanting to go. It’s time this club got the volume of support it deserves. SORRY IF I SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD but it needs saying.Agreed Campsall. It is a shame that for a town of our size we only manage to pull in a very small % of the population.However, what can any of us do other than bang the drum in our own social circles? Can’t beat people over the head to attend so I tend to think it’s not something to get too worried about.

DBR, Don’t forget though that all the extra benefits that we get will also be paid to the other clubs in the division.Any financial gain we get will not improve our situation at all against the other clubs.The only thing that might help is Club Doncaster revenue.
I am enjoying the banter on this thread, but with two days left, the away end sold out, some sections of our supporters sold out and very near in some sections, and still being able to buy tickets on a walk up to the ticket office on match day,and on line. It could, and will not be far off a sell out to me, what's the fuss about.
It does matter to us though, if we get 20% of the total takings from the pot of the playoffs as has been posted previously....
It does matter to us though, if we get 20% of the total takings from the pot of the playoffs as has been posted previously. Then we have posters wanting £10 and £5 and they are probably the ones who want us to spend big on incoming players, and moan the price affects the size of the crowd. Our team deserve our support, our owners also deserve the financial benefits our support for games like this bring in financially.
Just a quick question. I’ve ordered tickets this evening. If I collect them tomorrow where do I collect them from?ThanksChris

As I said, we'll be financially fitter than many other clubs who are already committed to higher costs including players on 'silly' contracts, bigger squads, etc, etc. We don't have the same baggage.Don't get me wrong, it will be tough but if we have faith in McCann, he will acquire more bang for our buck and improve the quality of the squad.
I can't believe there's folk getting upset about folk getting upset over the potential attendance.Just done a count and made 1,990 tickets available - which to me would equate to somewhere about 7k sold - that's purposely under egging the home sections a bit as SS will be at 90% capacity due to the unreserved seating, then the block at far end of West Stand which isn't on sale, other seats covered up with adverts in the corners, etc, then hospitality/directors which is obviously separate. Add on Charlton's 3k-3.5k and that's 10,500 (approx) as a minimum, with two days to go.I'm absolutely sure it'll pick up as it gets closer to the day/kick-off as well.Think the South Stand will get close to selling out tomorrow - that's my prediction but we shall see!

https://www.doncasterroversfc.co.ukWell there you are this answers the question. So Charlton will have over 4000 fans there and we will have 9500 at most.Have the club shot themselves in the foot with this?Yes it's definitely money in the bank but we know how much noise that many fans can make in the away end. For such an important game some clever tactics are needed and I think that this is where our club comes up short and shows its nievity at times. We need every bit of advantage we can get. Look at Sunderland who have only given Portsmouth 2000.thats less than for a league game. Even if we didn't sell out, so what... Its our ground and up to us to manage the support behined the team. To be honest, abit more patience and I think we would have sold out the ground meaning it would have been over 10k fans to support rovers and more support to the team.It's time like this when I wonder when are we going to learn, its also times like this when having JR there I'm sure he would have said not to do it

The EFL state we have to charge normal admission prices, give them a break
Didn't JR build the wall in the East stand in first place so we could take more money off Leeds fans (away team) on a regular basis? Wasn't concerned about giving the away advantage then was he. 800 extra fans won't impact a 180 minute 2 legged tie and if you think that then I despair
Makes a change for someone to shoot the club down and ask questions later? Not!Read the EFL play off rules then think again!
