Last night's good story

I thought that the capacity of the stadium was actually 5,700 (Capacity of the original stand is 3,048 not 3,300 or 3,500) take away the 200 or so seats (which seemed a it ott) left for segregation and you have 5,500 not 6,100.

I presume they don't sell tickets to stand behind the goal?

That being said they probably could have sold 8,000+ tickets.

Whatever about the number of seats they sold at least 6000 tickets for that match and I suspect a couple of hundred more.

What a load of snot.:rolleyes:

Ahh give it a rest would ya, for gods sake :rolleyes: My point still stands, its great to see Rovers get crowds of 6000 but it takes alot of work to keep them returning week in week out. I was merely trying to point that we once had good crowds and now look at us. 1,300 at our last game (did i get that figure wrong as well, just crucify me and be done with it :rolleyes:

Fans were using the horseshoe to gain access without the club's knowledge, which is why the official attendance mentioned earlier in the thread is so far from the actual attendance.

There's been a load of crap going on in the last two years that no one would be bothered to defend, and I know you probably think you're the funniest poster ever, but the crap of recent years didn't go on under Brian Lennox, so your nonsense is best corrected.

We all got crowds of between 8 to 10,000, but not crowds of between 8,000 to 10,000 :p

The Rovers-Bohs match was 6,300, which is the capacity of the stadium. The Pats match weeks before was only restricted to 5,700 because the east stand wasnt fully finished. If you were at it you'd have noticed the empty blocks of seats at each end of the new stand.

I was at it and did notice the empty blocks hence the attendance of 5,4XX on the night. The first stand holds 3,048 and theres no way the new stand holds more than that. I'd love to see a proper capacity figure, not 5,700, 6,000 or 6,300....something a little less even.
