What other reason could you have had for including the average attendance statement? I'll refrain from coming back at you with a personal insult. Usually a sign of lack of intelligence in my experience.

On a serious note you admit to always struggling attendance wise even as the then RL Div 1 Champions however the key to your financial security seems to be built around a 'build it and they will come' philosophy ie extend the stadium and average over 10k consistently.
Is this realistic? Are there fans waiting to make an appearance at Craven park?

Blind faith? Finger in the air guess? Head in the sand approach?

Me too. As it stands Rovers 6/31 means that FC have been on top 81% of the time.

Guess we will find out when the extensions are complete and the financial climate improves for the average speccie. I would think another 1500 people a game is achievable but cant be proven either way at the minute.

I guess that's where the risk is too isn't it? Saying that 10k is what will make the club sustainable and then thinking that extending the stadium to fit that number in will make them come is an extremely risky strategy isnt it? For arguements sake, what happens if the stadium gets extended and 2 years later the gates are still under 9500 and Rovers are still losing cash hand over fist, what happens then?
