Cant believe he is attempting to state that having a bigger average attendance could cancel out winning the first division championship! On that basis we would have to give them 83/84 and 84/85.

| Quote ="ComeOnYouUll"OK six although of course I'd not expect you to agree with me.
1978-79 - We were won Division 2, Rovers won Division 1 (although we had a bigger average attendance)
1980-81 - Rovers finished a few places and 4 points higher than us
1983-84 and 1984-85 - Rovers were Champions.
Last two seasons.
We've been top dog in tweny-odd out of 31 seasons. Not a bad record at all.'"
Did you deliberately omit the 1980 season??

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?

For arguaments sake what happens if the Stadium is extended, crowds consistantly hit 10k plus, we start to appear in major finals and we operate at a profit?

That's a bit nasty, isn't it? I know the basic principle of dividing one number by another and multiplying by 100 to get a percentage is advanced mathematics by East Hull standards, but there's no need for name-calling as some sort of primitive compensation for your numerical inadequacies.

Why not be constructive and help out GML to provide us with the missing glory years? Who knows, it may be that FC's 81% dominance drops to "only" 70%.
