And where was your 13k when you became Gateshead?

Shame on you. We are the only team with bandwaggoners.

This is about Rovers. Never answer a question with a question.

9,000 "passionate" fans



That would be why your average last season was 8,500.

If this is about Rovers then why dip yer black and white toes in then?...

I like to take an interest in struggling businesses.

Oh... you're the official receiver? or are you the giver?

... either way you have a strange habit that needs feeding on this forum... welcome to Miss Closet Rovers Fan(ny)

Don't judge others by your standards, Baz.

I'm not a closet Rovers fan, nor female and as for giving or receiving I'll leave that to you!



That said my standards are rather low so perhaps you have made a valid comment (for once)

Another one who cant differentiate between the total number of fans and the average

Your chairman should stop taking the herbal remedies. Hull Fc could go bust tomorrow and you'd never have a 20,000 average for as long as your club is in existance

How could Hull FC going bust ever have any effect on Wigans attendances








You Plonker

My apologies, I didn't realise I was replying to a wigan supporter.

Spot on , unless you set the target and reach out for it , you will not achieve it or anywhere near it , they may have to become a bit inovative to get there , but by stating the aim they are setting out their stall , no club SL or other can be happy where they are , all clubs must strive to fill whatever space they have , Rovers stadium isn't currently big enough to support a SL club , they have a plan to extend it and are doing so , it is good to see a stated ambition

I am perfectly aware of the difference in total, mean, median and mode, thanks.

My point is that you do not have 9,000 passionate fans. Although everyone on RLFans is aware of the propensity for Rovers fans to exaggerate their support, of course.

One thing that may have bearing on the crowds for both of our clubs is that in this city the birth rate far exceeds the death rate and the city is also home to a number of immigrants so in 5 years time the population of the city will big bigger than it ever has, the key is to get youngsters introduced to the game early and also get people who didn’t know much about RL the chance to get to a game and then hopefully they will come back.

Considering when the stadium is finally finished the capacity will only just be above 14,000 then it's not really possible.

Once the East Stand has been completed and the brand new £6m North Stand has been done, I'd like to see a brand new "away stand" at the South End with standing and seating areas to entice more fans to come to Craven Park.

you been smoking the wakeytabangy????






if rovers reach 14000 average...i'll eat hudgells filling cabinets contents.....

They didn't say they would be , they said that is the target , surely the target for FC is to fill whatever capacity the KC is

I cant ever remember Rovers coming out with an official capacity figure TBH

Before you get on your high horse mate i was there anyway and will support my team to the ends of the earth.I was talking about supporters in general and you can't blame them for not turning up.If Rovers have DREAMS about getting 10,000 plus crowds,then i would say it was urgent to get the south terrace sorted out very soon to get extra revenue through the turnstiles.

Can't argue with that. I think KR should be aiming for 14,000, its a good thing for Rugby League in general. Not sure it will happen in the current statium though. All clubs however should be continualy looking to improve attendance, our aim should be 20k as well. It takes the right ingredients, right stadium, right atmosphere (i.e a entertaining, family friendly one) with the most potentant of all, stable success on the field.

dont be stupid..even if fc dominated such as saints have for 5-10 years we wouldnt be averaging 24000....we would get in my opinion 16000 average....
i unlike many of your red friends live in the real world, and fc cannot drum up that level of support to fill the kc...just as kr cant drum up enopugh to fill 12-14000...
its a matter of fact...

Think you need to understand the concept of Reading before posting again.

14000 avarage attendance per week would mean that figure would have to be grately increased against the lesser supported sides.

Which is EXACTLY what I said.

Think you need to understand the concept of it's only the busy-body FC fans who give a rats before posting again
