That's very true, but also not the point. I wasn't discussing Rovers capacity plans or indeed the perceived future averages. I was merely pointing out obvious flaws in the posters logic.
Rovers will do well to get the capacity up to 14,000 over the next few years. I don't expect them to acheive an average gate above 11,000 even when that capacity is realised.

So which part of my post did u actually read and understand?
Regardless of what stand and facilities any club has I go to support my team, dosnt matter about a crap view in an uncovered stand! Obviously 'in any kind of weather' dosnt apply to some of your lot! Good on them the loyal FC fans that did turn up by the way. Price dosnt come into it either because when i'm paying £20 or less I don't care if I sit or stand wherever that may be. The south stand will be sorted in time but at the moment its not a priority, the east stand being extended is as we know we have a chance of filling it and increase revenue. No point building a stand that is only going to be filled once a season if you decide to turn up. Yes you could fill our ground no problem so why don't you try filling the south stand for a start and support your team!
The supporters in general you speak of who don't turn up have a choice but please dont make up excuses for them, views and facilities are good at some grounds bad at others, i go regardless as you maybe do, your lot filled the stand the first two seasons and last season made the excuse it was expensive for the crap view but in reality they expected a beating. I know its a crap view i've stood in there but i was there for my team as you were.

Maybe you should of stood there the other year when hailstones where the size of golf balls hitting us at 80 mph.I have never been so cold in my life.When i go to a ground i expect to watch a game.If you cannot see the game where is the value in that?.Leeds,wakefield,even Bradford is not a problem because you can still see what is happening.All i am saying is that Rovers have to look after the away fans,especially Hull,which is your top revenue earner,otherwise supporters will vote with their feet.

Yes it is , so if you have a 14,000 capacity , you play 10 games you get 140,000 fans through the gates , divided by 10 gives 14,000

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried. So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin On his face. If he worried he hid it. He started to sing as he tackled the thing That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

You make it so simple.... so if there's 14 clubs, since the advent of the welsh travelling friends and we, HKR, average 14000 how does the working out go?
