Despite yesterday being Dale's 146th league fixture against Hartlepool, it was the first time we have scored exactly five goals in one of those games.
We did score exactly five against them in the League Cup in August 1973, however! |

I don't know, but it might be on a website story somewhere.
Surely you would need the same figures for every other season as well to make any meaningful comparisons.
And as mentioned, the high number of Tuesday games this season (8 in the league, the second-highest ever) will also have an effect on some folks' ability to attend. [Post edited 26 Apr 13:31]

Taking out away fans, we are currently averaging 2229 home fans in the league this season, compared to 2392 last season, so a 6.9% drop.
However, before anyone mentions 'selective statistics', bear in mind that we have played a significantly higher number of midweek games, which affects attendance, we lost our festive home fixture v Altrincham (pitch) and our three best crowd pullers (Oldham, Halifax and York) were all on Tuesdays.
We had a lower average number of home fans in 2021/22 and remarkably, in the 2013/14 promotion season, we averaged only 265 more home fans than this campaign (11.5 per game).
Regarding Barrow, in his final two seasons, the average number of home fans was 1557 and 1675 (we didn't record away fans before then), while in Parkin's first season it was 2333. [Post edited 26 Apr 12:38]

That's just selective memory.
For every game where we "have done likewise for donkeys years", there are plenty more where we haven't; much like every other club, in fact.
Off the top of my head, Leeds, Cheltenham (to win promotion), Northampton (to win promotion), Tottenham, Newcastle, Stockport (1987), Hull (2002 to get into the play-offs for the first time), Darlington (to get to Wembley), Charlton (as featured extensively over the past week), beating both Southampton and Sheffield Wednesday in 2010/11, etc. [Post edited 22 Apr 14:19]

Although a win would be better, a draw will be enough with Gateshead playing Southend on the final day and also taking our vastly superior goal difference into account. |

Depends who else comes up, but the fact remains, someone will have to travel there in midweeks and at Christmas/New Year, while they will have to also travel somewhere else. It's an inescapable fact that there will be some distances to be covered.
Yeovil would likely be one of their Christmas/New Year fixtures, with Torquay the other, if they come up.
If not, they'll be looking at the likes of Forest Green, Eastleigh, a potential Sussex promotee and then heading towards the London area. |
