Low crowd tonight

[Kevin Mcleod]

Toes are thawing out now, glad I went think I would've had the hump more sat at home watching. Will do Rotherham, Derby and villa as now at times like this is when us supporters are needed most.gotta keep the faith, even when we pulled one back we should've nicked a draw with 10. Not sure who missed the sitter in the added 7 but uck me he should've buried it

Was Lynch Van mate.

What does everyone expect ?
we only have about 12000 fans who will attend every game, thursday night ,close to xmas ,whatever excuse ,all knocks the crowd.
We dont have have massive support , and the extra 5000 who rock up for big games are great ,but cant be relied on

Also we were in great voice at times in the second half ,id rather watch Rangers with real Rangers fans than watch us with muggy half an half scarf wearers

There you go and what I've always said , Rs have around 10/12 k loyal supporters who will go in league 1 or 2 or the Championship, thats always been the same , the rest that suggest there not going because of a style or a manager aren't regular week in week out supporters anyway , and we all know any club can find a few thousand more when playing in the Hollywood league .

Spot on.

Football stadiums are better when they're full... rows of empty seats is just dispiriting. Obvious last night's game would have 1000s of empty seats so club need to be more dynamic, progressive and imaginative in how they approach promoting, pricing and selling tickets for these games.
Given how dreary the football is at LR I'd slash ticket prices to £10/£15 for all remaining games and give a rebate to season ticket holders. Might cost us a few hundred thousand but if it boosts morale and gets a bit of a buzz and feelgood into the stands it'll pay off longer term.
Currently, how the hell are we gonna entice keen/committed new fans - the loyal 12000 will gradually dwindle and the club will wither. Way things are going I can see us lagging behind Brentford in 5 years if we don't get a grip now.

Books are balanced through tv payments, sponsors etc.

Some folk need to look at our history. Some argue fans are kept away by our football, the players or dross ball.

1993 season when we had SLF, Sinton etc basically one of our great teams. Crowd in September against the blades ..a thousand less than a Sky, pre Xmas, freezing, championship, not a great team Thursday.

Those who can't believe the crowd was so poor blah blah blah were probably the same that bought into the 40k stadium, Sparky and his agents, top 10 team by 2018, 60k per week contracts ....

12k on a cold Thursday is a good turn out, accept who we are and back Ollie ...

[acricketer]

12K in League 1 will be impressive.
