Forte_Baby Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 (edited) Lets be honest Rochdale struggle to get more 2500 often enough was anyone really expecting a big turn out tonight? seems quite number of them are more arsed about the FC United game sadly.

spadam Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 It is a shame shows just how small a club they are. Thought they might be getting a few more fans though the gate being promoted for the first time in 41 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 they have never been well supported though have they, they took about 13,000 - 14,000 to wembley which about 30 - 40 % supported someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but loads were United, City, Latics - I took my boy, I know WardleLatic went etc... and on the coach we were on, there was not one Rochdale fan! PS aren't their fans (Dale) the mongiest bunch of throwbacks you have ever seen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Wembley and meet everyone for drinks ......... no way was I ever going in to support another team especially them. Wembley is reserved to watch your own team there, unless it's RL as Yeds are unlikely to ever get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but alot of their fans will accept their status as a small club, unlike some of our lot who think we should be building a 25000 seater stadium when we are getting crowds of 4000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Does anybody know what the official attendance was last night ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RochdaleAFC Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 That was the fullest the home ends have been for ages, if you think that was a poor attendance you should have been at the Dagenham game. It was certainly more full than the Huddersfield game and I would estimate the crowd at around 6,600. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ah_oafc Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 I seen a fair few empty in the home ends if im honest and standing section certainly wasnt full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly more full than the Huddersfield game and I would estimate the crowd at around 6,600. My Dad’s cousin (I know I know; tenuous) is a ‘Dale season ticket holder and has been for like 50 years – and when we saw him after last night’s 8 minutes of a game; he said that’s the busiest it’s been for ages in the home stands – but that there were still loads of seats empty all around him (he sits in the main stand; opposite where we were) He guessed at the attendance; knowing what he usually sees at homes games as being around 5,700 to 6,000 – with us selling out at 3,200 in that away stand. He certainly though we had more in than they did. Difficult not to sound too patronising when talking about ‘Dale home attendances; yes they’re low (and lower than ours) and you really should never get beaten by away fan numbers-wise; but ours are no great shakes at present either are they?

I think both clubs are struggling to attract bigger attendances, which is a shame considering both sides are trying to play attractive passing football. Location wise we've just got too much competition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Location wise we've just got too much competition. ah the competition thing again... what we have is when we started to slide all those years ago both manchester clubs upped there marketing strategys as to hopefully try to entice fans from a wider net..and they have managed it... think regarding home attendance then they might have had a few less due to the weather or like has been said, fa cup against fc united...3 games in a week is a lot for most people to pay for these days.

Even when they got promoted last season, i think they only had 5000 their? Apparently the attendance was more like 7000, (and am sure just over 50% of that was Latics fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
