A bit worrying

I look forward to the day when we regularly fill a 30k plus stadium for a football match in which RFC are competing.

I'm out of touch but is this the "cyber sex" phenomenon i've read about in the Daily Mail.

It's as close as it gets for some.

and he doesn't mean himself or me

Hmmmm you may want to reword that, it appears that you and hubby engage in it!!

[Royal Lady]

I don't believe it does. But whatever turns you on.

Well looking at it now we seem to be 6000 down on attendances over last seasons average, interesting to see what the next 4 games brings, we might struggle to fill the away ends against Blackburn, but the other 3 games should be ok.

Overall I would say there was a short blip at the start of the season for Everton and West ham, but only about 1500 total. Since then it has been about what would be expected, with Bolton, Middlesboro and Wigan failing to attract almost full houses.

Just a shame that the extension was postponed, guess we now have to wait till next Jan to see if it goes ahead summer of 2009

It's dead in the water mate, there isn't the demand.

Accept you got it wrong and move on.

Can someone log this post for future reference - just in case we have to get the humble pie out for Mr 'Black and White' when / if the expansion does kick in.
Just a quick reminder that when the Madeski was first built there was no demand for anything above about 12k, yet we got a 24k stadium and it is now filling up on a regular basis. Good marketing involves developing the product - in this case the product includes the stadium.

No problem

Could have put your teeth in first, Schards.

[SpaceCruiser]

Schards can't even spell extension.

[Schards#2]

Surely you are the one who should, in order to make your self look less of an idiot than is currently the case, shut up until you have ANY real evidence that demand is falling AND, most importantly, that there's any sign that we will fail regularly to sellout our current capacity and/or sell more seats when the ground has been expanded.


It's not about your bogus claims of falling demand but whether we will sell more seats with a bigger stadium AND have sufficient scope to attract new fans, which is clearly not the case as things stand

This is why I applied your ridiculous assertions to last nights attendance.

Back in the real world, The Mad Stad was soldout last night, as was the case for our first home match last season, not to mention the corresponding fixture of the last campaign.

In fact, back in the real world, the vast majority of home league matches have sold our for the last season and a half with fluctuations amounting to no more than a few hundred and generally attributable to the number of away fans etc.

So, back in the real world, the Chairman and his merry band of "blinkered tossers" feel that existing demand dictates that expansion is required.

Meanwhile, one selfish East Stand STH, who probably still believes the sun shines out of Nicky Forster's backside, begs to differ..........................

But keep posting, Schards, things could be quiet on the work front for the next few weeks and this is becoming more entertaining with every passing sellout :P

Who dragged it back up again?

The sad person who calls himself a fan but takes delight in moaning about the club as well as betting on them to lose!

[Schards#2]

Ooh Biggy, think you're wrong there sonny.
