Playing devil's advocate it looks like the boycott has already started (12500 for Leeds at home !). That said who knows how many more fans would come back thru the gates if we started playing a more attractive attacking brand of rugby ? For the sake of this point, imagine 2000 more paying adults at £23 a pop, thats £46k on one game alone. Can the club afford to keep him ?

A lot of Rovers fans I know don't go to the games. There's a group of 'die-hard' Robins who go in my local and last season I went in there having been to the derby at Craven Park. Guess what? They'd all sat in the pub and watched it. Bizarre.

They have all been going all their life, yet their attendances has grown in 1000s since their promotion

Didnt your attendance figures increase when you moved into the kc?? And since 2007 your attendance figures have gone up substancially als. the prospect of rovers playing in superleague has also brought your team good revenue increase.

Yes and no,i live in Ponte next door to g and kh.

Of course. Mike Smith has already said at the Rovers fans forum that when the newNorth Stand is open he will be able to [uguarantee[/u sponsors a sellout attendance for the derby. Another reason not to go, IMO.
