Didn't realise the stand held that amount, it is quite a high structure though, ok that prob adds up now, what would the split be home and away, 800+400 ?Quote:

Noticed a good few Dlk fans in the main stand when we scored, but your right, I saw photo of rovers visit and they did take up both sections. 350 max away prob right last night.Quote:

Would a club coach service from the town centre work? to try and entice more local support?
I think it was before my time but maybe the lads can correct me, I think that's something that was tried for a while but never took off. Personally I prefer the out of town approach as it means no traffic and it keeps the scumbags hanging around town away.Quote:

Jps does run a bus now from the pub to the ground free of charge for the section O lads it's a great serviceQuote:

Attendance was 2142 tonight, not too bad really
It's a good idea for them as they can draw in anyone interested in pre game boozing.Quote:

Yeah it's never easy getting people to go to two games in 3 days. We always get a healthy attendance against rovers so I'd say quite a few will skip the QF against pats on TuesdayQuote:
