Nearly 3,000 season tickets sold by Bristol Rovers

Paul Trollope
Supporters who indicated they would pick theirs up personally can do so from the stadium or the Supporters' Club shop in Kingswood from Monday.
Bristol Rovers will hold their annual fun day at the Memorial Stadium on Sunday, July 12. The event, which starts at 12 noon and runs until 4pm, will give supporters the chance to meet first-team coach Paul Trollope and the players. And the club will also be unveiling next season's home shirt for the first time, with replica kit available to purchase.
Trollope will also take part in a question and answer session, along with club chairman Nick Higgs and director of finance Toni Watola.
Supporters will also be able to take a tour of the dressing rooms and there will be a fun-fair in the stadium car park.

“Nick, the answer to why the EP don't give the lime light to City alone is the simple fact that City in reality do not have any more fans, they simply hold a higher place. When they were last in the same league the average attendance at home games was only about 500 apart, Rovers always average about 5000 home attendance of loyal fans, City struggle to get 6000 when on a bad run, which is much worse as they sell 7000 season tickets so 1000 have a ticket and don't bother.
Then there's the question of sales, The EP probably sells as many papers on my side of the river as the do in bemmy and ashton, and us Gas heads don't want to buy a paper to read about the City.
There is only one producer of local papers in Bristol and would have to appear unbiased, how many papers do you think they would sell if they showed themselves to be only supporting one team.”

“Jeez talk about banging your head against a wall!
dave, you didn't show how our attempts to increase them are pathetic did you?
All you did was to post a figure of how many were sold.
Come on dave don't be shy, just a link to prove your theory.”
