I wonder if the club has considered playing games at a different time to Sunday afternoons in order to minimise the number of attractions they conflict with.
I know Saturdays are out due to the Rovers use of the ground, but what about Friday nights I know we tried it a few years ago and I must say I did enjoy the games on a Friday night and it left the whole weekend free for family time. I am aware that Fridays are not for everyone its just a suggestion to throw out there.
I'd prefer Friday nights to Sundays but it probably wouldn't help in getting more away fans to the games. I think it would free people up to do other family things on a Sunday though.
I remember standing on the Tattersfield terrace when there was next to no one there as well. Fond memories!
The more I think about it, the more I reckon it is the flair players that excite spectators. I think that with Dave Scott and Lee Waterman we've got two exciting players. Now that Tom Hodson is back, he's another crowd-pleaser.
Watching the skill of Cookie and the power of the props and forwards appeals to me as much as anything but it's the players who can get people out of their seats that probably appeals to the fans we've lost.
I wouldn't mind swapping a couple of games to Friday nights to see if it makes a difference.
