Where are these people now and why aren't they attending?
Could that number of fans be staying away simply because of facilties?
I guess that time will tell. Maybe you should ask the question again at the end of the season. After all statistics do not lie. Do they?
My opinion is that crowds have done well since 2007 and the east stand was sold of for the majority (maybe all?) of last years games. The seating in RM stand is quite often sold out with some empty seats being in sponsors seating area. Assume they are not being used for that game or perhaps people are in the bar. Lets face it the south stand is awful and the golf stand is adequate in the short term. Logic would therefore say that crowds will increase.
Alternatively Rovers may give away thousands of free tickets to increase our attendences. Lets not forget that it is revenue through the turnstiles rather than numbers of spectators which counts.
