From that photo nearer to 50 than 100.

Apparently there were a handful sat in a stand to the left.

Somebody on Facebook has counted and said it was 82 overall, they really are huge!

Can't imagine they are looking forward to the trip to Lincoln on Saturday.

Scored 5 against Barnsley and 6 against Cambridge. Be nice to see them keep that run going.

Fair play to all who went, ridiculous journey midweek.

But for a club who apparently have such great support, this is quite something...

Rovers would’ve taken more. 
 

Wait hang on….

Tough night for the stewards at that end. If you are going to spend 90 minutes with your back to the game you at least want to keep busy looking out for trouble in a packed crowd. One of them has got about 3 fans and a lot of concrete to look at. No excuse for not getting Wordle done.

I have a few(er) questions about the photo and would appreciate some help understanding.

Why does there seem to be a load of seats missing ?
That's the away section, which means they could actually sell them.

Derby sold out , so why is there a big gap there ?
Pillar bind spot ? Forgot to put the seats in ? I need to know

Well, gaps are obviously their speciality. The 2nd one, I assume is a missing mini bus load somewhere from Derby. The 1st one has been explained as where the 'big' screen was before. Will it return? Will the pillars block it? There were rumours that the construction isn't quite to plan so they might have the screen in big Dave's garage but it doesn't fit anymore?

You can’t have your cake and eat it. They’re benefiting from players loaned to them..you can’t then go and expect reward for giving them game time. 

I’m sure other clubs would happily take their countless loanees instead.

Interesting stuff, thoughts?

How about developing your own players instead of repeatedly borrowing someone else’s?

Agreed, or no doubt clubs in Europe.

These two posts sum up their mindset and the reason the gap is in the 20's. They can easily claim they would "do better" with the same resources we have had.

BUT because they have had crap crowds for 2-3 generations they don't have that kind of money. If their fans actually started turning up at home and selling out their little ground they might progress.

I'm confused - they have had far better resources available to them....  I explicitly recall someone commiserating us on being smaller and worse than they'll ever be because they were the sixth richest club in the country...."Unlucky da shit" I believe was the phrase he used.....

I would imagine no one thought of that. Its not on the back of the fag packet which is why its not there. Of course they could use that 36 inch ex rental Granada TV set that's stuck on Babestation. Because of its size seeing any tit action might just have to be what's currently on view on the pitch.

I was told that the plans are to now fill it with seats, but goodness knows when they will sort that out

Actually, I was going to copy/paste the BL article on this thread as I thought Wael’s thoughts were very good and well written.

Interesting, as you suggest, although I question whether asking for a percentage of any transfer fee is or would be a goer - quite ridiculous to be fair, although I understand the sentiment.

Crikey, I never realised DJ Johnie Walker was a big Rovers fan. Every day’s a learning day.

 

Apparently he somehow managed to squeeze into the packed away end at Fleetwood in the week.

 

He’ll be sharing his experiences with the nation at the weekend with a specially recorded edition of Sounds of the Seventy
