The Tranmere/Chorley Challenge.

[B2TF]

Well Tranmere, you've been awarded the rare double honour of the West (Skircoat) and North Stands on Saturday. Their capacities are 2000 and 3000/4000 respectively. Only Luton (1100) Bradford City (3500), Grimsby (1700) and Chorley (2000) have been granted both of these fine stands on a matchday. I've seen a lot of talk on here about how massive you are, well now it's time to show up or shut up. Little Mickey Mouse Chorley put 2000 in those stands. Over to you..............

Ffs we took less than Chorley..........

 

[1884 Belmont]

Not happening.

I’d be shocked if it was four figures to be honest. Despite our position, something hasn’t quite clicked with the fans yet - still in the 5k mark at the last home game.

I could be wrong but I think 800-1000.

I don't think anything has not clicked with the fans, it just is not that significant a game (at this stage). The title race could be over before we kick off and Macc are still in complete control of their destiny.

I agree that it will be 800 - 1,000. If it was a one-off decider for a promotion place, it would be about 3,000.

If we were 3pts closer to Macc it would easy be 3-4k. As it is somewhere between 800-1500.

All I'm taking from this is that Chorley are bigger than Tranmere.

This won't take long........

Think you’ll find it’s fans of other clubs in this league who big us up.

Nah we’re massive.

Not sure I agree. We took 1800 Wrexham, 2000 Chester despite not really being in a close title race.

The home support is different, we have a core fan base of around 6-7k and then 15k of floaters who attend 2-3 matches per season each. Home support will only spike above the 5.2k average if we are in a direct chance of promotion.

 

[Pablosammy]

FFS, this is going to be embarassing. I think we'll take 5-600. We don't have much to play for, in all likelihood... the chances of us catching Macc are vanishingly small.

 

[T.A]

15k floating fans? Airplanes must hate it around there.

 

[Boz]

As I haven’t seen Rovers win away for about 9 years, decided to swerve this in the unlikely event of Saturday morning help from The Vision. However, I doubt we’ll take more than Pablosammy suggests. The Chester and Wrecsam games were near derbies so inevitable they’d draw more of the travelling SWA. Happy to concede this one to Chorley.

 

[Reremnart]

I think we will just about a thousand but only just. Most of our fans are saving for a possible Wembley trip and we all know how much that costs from last season especially the rip off ticket prices. Having said that there does seem to be far more than the usual interest on social media.
