it's something your brought up on.
i don't know too many people who watch footie week in week out , year in year out. it must be a minute percentage of the population who actually who actually do get down to the grounds. there's too many other distractions...

Enjoy your team

Are you sure? I don't have figures to hand but hundreds of thousands of folk do go regularly to watch footy week in week out which is hardly a small percentage. However all these reasons - footy on TV, bad weather on Saturday, Bank Holiday - apply just as much to other clubs as us and no one got such an awful gate as Stanley. Agree that price was probably a factor. After forking out for a game on Tuesday, perhaps some couldn't afford to go on Saturday. Problem is, the club is caught between a rock and a hard place - if they reduce the admission drastically, will they be rewarded with an increase in walk ons to make up the financial shortfall? Reckon they should try it for one match to see what happens.

dropping prices wont help. You either go week in week out,the odd one or two games or not at all. Add up all league attendances for any weekend and its not much of the countries population, which is millions.
Keep up your support, thats all you can do.

That's the problem here..stupid people with no sense of reality

spignific · 02-09-2012, 01:44

Hold on here this will take time to sort attendance,maybe 4 weeks ..12,000 at burnley today.. 2 weeks time Rovers v barnsley,then only /only 48 hours later also home sky match v middlesboro,so low crowds due to 2 games in only 48 hours and sky live game .no more than 15,000 prob to be honest. If Get results though and wolves at home late sept ,then that game 20,000 at least at rovers !!! whats that 12,000 gate at burnley look then ?? haa haa

Right in a way, totally wrong as usual, I didn't jump ship seeing as how i went yon from Stanley in 62......... Accrington didn't have a team back then,

I stayed yon, n unbelievably Accrington returned to the league about 5 yrs ago, So i returned to my home town club, There There,hope thats not to difficult to grasp? Plus Accrington is the club i started with.

Surprising thing is the thread starter is a Dingle, better to look at your own miserable gates rather than anybody else's, well thats 3 defeats on the trot for the ner do wells and Rovers still command bigger gates even after the upheaval with Venky's and Kean,
