Like you mate I am pretty shocked that there are so little, are away fans buying through Rotherham? We don't know, you'd like to think more fans would make an effort but I am sure they have their reasons.

I am yes. Just very surprised with the fact that it's a brand new stadium for us to visit that we have sold one of our lowest away figures.

1. Xmas period, everyone's skint
2. A good 180 mile round trip, easily costs over £30 in fuel
3. Tickets aren't the best priced
There's three good reasons for starters.

No necessarily big numbers, just 1500-2000.
850 is I think our 3rd lowest away following.

Yet it is less than Swindon which was 4 days before Xmas, the same sort of distance and the most expensive ground in the league - and also one we have been to a number of times before. The poor numbers to Rotherham are a bit baffling to be honest.
There has also been an extra 800-1K. @ Sixfields who don't normally go but may have travelled away . There Is only so much £ In the pot.
Barnsley is bound to have an effect for sure, but we had a similar situation last season, MK Dons away followed by Spurs a few days later and we took 5000 to both. Ah well, people have their reasons I suppose.

This is the future im afraid.
Novelty of just attending away games is wearing off, numbers will inevitably fall.
I myself went to the MK Dons game with a strong feeling it would be the last time I ever watch ccfc.

Neither do I. New Year's Day out, hair of the dog, last sesh before the diet kicks in, Bank holiday, ground people ain't been before.
Done Barnsley away loads of times, shit away day.

to get the chance to see what HR2 will look like when SISU have built it, might be a good indication on the cost of travelling to HR2 as the distance from the city centre keeps going up and given how overdue SISU are in announcing the site they were going to name in May, a 130mile round trip might be about right for home games.

keep thinking the same thing
Rotherham is 80 miles each way, hardly far, I am sure we have sold 1,000 now 2 blocks sold and 3rd on sale, new ground, train station very close by with plenty of pubs in close proximity to the ground, so all set for a good day, yet Barnsley a few days later, shit away day, possibly the worst away day when we was last in the championship, with shit fans to boot.
Much rather do Rotherham on what is a huge game, rather than go to barnsley.
At least the real hardcore following will be at Rotherham, I sometimes prefer that the regulars rather than day trippers like MK.

Why, who else is a franchise club?

I take it you read some of the threads on here?

It's because the suppport is fair weather and always has been. This is why a phoenix club is a non starter.

Yep. Generally the word franchise is used by sixfields attendees to try and discredit the boycotters who went to MK Dons.
Do you think Ccfc is a franchise club?

If you move the club out of the city it plays in, dont be shocked "when so little turn up".
Even for away games. Simple really.

Fairweather?
This has been the worst season in 130 years. If this has been your idea of a good season I'd hate to experience a bad one.

More like 500m for me...maybe for some it's a fear that visiting it might dampen their objections to a new stadium based upon the Rotherham one (as in it might be better than the expect), or perhaps it is a statement that they don't want to visit a stadium like that?
Personally I think money in the present is a bigger issue putting off those with families.
