Over the years that we've been in the bottom two divisions we've lost a lot of football fans to the Sheffield Clubs and Leeds, I know even some people from Rotherham who are season ticket holders at Old Trafford and Anfield. We'll never get those back.

Oh and gru, I can assure you that Paul Warne is not listening to you.
The last “reliable” stats come from the last census ( which was criticised for under reporting certain parts of our population) but to summarise it for Rotherham

 Christianity remains the largest religion in Rotherham with 171,068 followers (66.5% of the population) but the number of Christians has decreased by 13.2%
 The largest increase is in the number of people with no religion which has more than doubled to 57,783 or 22.5% of the population
 The number of Muslims in Rotherham has nearly doubled to 9,614 or 3.7% of the population
 Other religions account for 1,785 people or 0.7% of the population
 Figures exclude the 6.6% who did not state their religion


But those figures apart, if it’s not demographics then why can’t we attract more fans?

Good chairman, good manager, team playing well, new ground

But we can’t raise the numbers
