Attendance Thread - Rotherham United

500 fewer than Cambridge. 1,300 fewer than Gillingham and Shrewsbury.
Estimate 28,700 sales, based on previous games and midweek. Plus the usual add ons.
But never underestimate the power of optimism.

31-32k already then with corporate and away fans?
@Hettonlass
Open to input from anyone ITK but how about this as a starting point.

Corporate - 1,350 (similar to Gillingham) )less than Cambridge with it being a night match)
Away fans - 1,800 (75% of 2,395 initial allocation)

"...the Millers have been issued an allocation of 2,395 tickets. There is a further allocation available should we sell out of this allocation..."

Do any Rotherham fans get on here?
 
I'm happy with the 32000 we usually get true fans who've backed the club every home game. Not arsed about any glory hunters
The thing that baffles me is if we do get into the play offs, we'll only sell about 23-24k for the semi final with it being live on Sky. Then if we get to Wembley, we'll sell our full allocation despite the majority of our fans dreading going there

Exactly my thoughts.
After our last play off defeat the common theme among fans was that most would not return as they were sick of losing at Wembley.
The lowest attendance in our first league one season was for the Portsmouth play off game ; we had 15000 more for the league match !
However it might just be different this season as we have come with a late run and securing a play off place might by many be seen as an unexpected bonus following the heavy defeats in the New Year.
Why on earth don't the club charge a fiver a ticket with kids for a quid and fill the ground?
Or do Football League rules govern what ticket prices are ?
 
Rotherham fans are struggling to get transport to the game, with not many buses on. Asking the club to put buses on. What's the last train to Rotherham?

The last train from NCL to Yorkshire is the 22:45 which terminates Leeds at 00:48. That is catchable if you leg it for a Metro, but Leeds is still miles from Rotherham.
Last train NCL to Doncaster is at 21:15.

The club have been selling cheap tickets for kids for the last few home games.
