Weather looking pretty grim for the rest of the week, possibly postponed? Just drove up and had a peek through and could see some white sheets covering part of the pitch, not sure if the ground staff were in the process of getting the covers out, if not, I doubt that would be sufficient to ensure the game is on. Not looking good.
With the club promoting this ‘Kids for a Quid’ initiative which they have in the past also, alongside the recent cheaper season tickets, it got me wondering if in a few years we will see a significant increase in home attendances.
Over the past 10-15 years, well since Steve Parkin, the football on show has been significantly better than when I started watching, when Eddie Grey was manager, I forget the year. I’d hazard a guess that home attendances have increased since the late 80’s and it’d be interesting to see if there was a kind of line chart available that’s shows home attendances from the 80’s or before to the present day to view the trend, it might even give us an idea of what we could expect in another 10 or so years.
I’ve just done a google and come across this post from the official site stating that last years average attendance is the highest since the early 70’s, possibly due to the large away followings, but no mention of home attendances. https://www.rochdaleafc.co.uk/news/2019/may/attendancefigures_2018-19/
Anybody know of any websites that would have home attendance figures...?
