Agree with the last point, but there is no continual erosion in attendances. Crowds went up in 2016, down in 2017, up in 2018 and up again last season. Its fair to say we'd have seen a decent increase this season given how it has panned out.

Well yes, was working on the assumption they'd do so again.

9K at home to Sunderland? And why the play-off game as a benchmark? That is a game at short notice with no ST holders so is from a standing start. The lowest crowd of the season at Sunderland last season was their play-off semi.

We had 16.5K against Sunderland for a12.30pm kick off on TV when we were 14th in the table. Can't believe people think we'd get less than that with the season we're having.

No, end of September.

So less than the TV game against Sunderland last season. Really?

More than 14K for last night. We had more than that for meaningless league games last season. The Mowbray season we had 15K and 16K for night games against Burton and Walsall which weren't nearly as crucial as last night. Edit, Burton was a Saturday and was 17K.

Threaten them how? What can you possible say to a man 20 yards away with his back to you that is threatening? I'm going to burn down your shed mate? You're not giving any details. All I'm hearing is that some football fans gave the linesman some stick and used some choice language that perhaps...

I wouldn't be massively surprised if Robins changed it up a bit tomorrow. I'm sure Rotherham will set up a bit like Pompey did and will press high up the pitch. We got over the line in that game, but the midfield was bypassed for much of that game, so he might be tempted to play 2 up front and...

Yeah, I'd forgotten about that.

I've seen it said many times that we perform better against the top teams. But out of 10 games played against the current top nine, I think we've only won 3. Only one defeat though, so very respectable, with a ppg of 1.8. So we've performed well against the top sides, but not 'better' as some...

We've sold around 1000 for Ipswich and they're not on general sale until Friday, so a comfortable sell out despite the prices. Not criticising Rotherham, but I did expect a few more than that tbh. Sub 1000 for a top of the table clash, where it's the cheapest price they'll pay all season and a...

This. Anyone we who thinks they can predict the outcome with any confidence is a fool. My gut says we'll lose this one, but there isn't much to base this on other than pessimism.

Maybe that comment, but overall they are being pretty measured. Don't detect much in the way of Billy big bollocks from them at all.

Fwiw, ticket sales look very healthy for Tuesday. Looks like being a big turnout (relatively).

I went for a pee around 70 mins and there were only a handful down there tbf. Although driving away from the ground I did see a group of about 50 City fans walking from the town back to the ground, so they'd obviously given the game a swerve.

We'd easily beat that tbf in our first season or two. Lots of local games with big allocations. Pricing isn't that bad at some grounds, Blues charge £20 iirc.

Wycombe also, which along with Oxford, Shrewsbury and Burton sold out comfortably, so we'd have taken larger followers to all had we had a bigger allocation.

Totally agree. Towards the end of last season we took 2K to Peterborough, 3K to Sunderland and over 2K to Doncaster based on us having a sniff of the play offs. We are now going full tilt at autos but are struggling to sell 2K for this one, it's odd. Rochdale is actually a decent away day too.

The background to that was that a company providing a particular service to the club were were told in November to 'stand down' in January on the basis that service would no longer be required and they were on a two week notice in December as it was suggested we could return before Christmas, so...
