Steve Waggott hopes Rovers ‘Super Six’ ticket offer can help ‘fill the stadium’ as Tony Mowbray’s side bid for the top six.

The club have slashed prices for the remaining Ewood fixtures, starting from £99 for the remaining six home matches, including the visits of top two West Brom and Leeds.

Bristol City, who sit three points above Rovers, and Swansea City, two further back, are also due in East Lancashire before the end of the season, with Waggott hoping the fans can have a part to play in keeping the club’s top six hopes alive.

A November ticket promotion for three home matches that month prompted 600 additional sales, and the club’s chief executive hopes this latest one will have an impact on season ticket sales for the 2020/21 season, with Rovers reporting a £400,000 black hole after failing to hit the 10,000 figure for this season.

“I think all the discussions around level of attendance, cost of season tickets, I think everyone knows we have to fill the stadium,” Waggott told the Lancashire Telegraph.

“Sometimes it’s going to be not quite at the detriment of season ticket holders, but we have a half-full stadium and the fans, all the forums and consultations we do, they just say ‘try and fill it if you can’.

“The fans would love it to be £10 a game every game but we’d be miles off the target.

“We have a target to hit for revenue and it’s not easy.

“After the Charlton game there was a bit of a noise saying that if we made it a fiver a game we’d get a lot more as well.

“As I’ve publicly said, we’re £400,000 down on season ticket targets.”

‘Super Six’ prices start from £99 for adults, £60 for senior citizens and only £50 for supporters aged 18-25, and starts with next Wednesday’s home game with Stoke City.

Rovers have lost just once in 12 Ewood matches and will hope to take advantage of back-to-back home matches which follow this weekend’s trip to Brentford.

After Stoke and Swansea this month, Rovers host Bristol City (March 14), Leeds United (April 4), West Brom (April 14) and then Reading on April 25.

“We looked at the fixtures and we have four teams who are in and around us. In order to try and create a real positive environment for more fans coming, the last six games, we parcelled them together,” Waggott added.

“If we’re going to be releasing next season’s season tickets then we wanted to get people involved in buying a parcel of tickets as we found out with half season tickets, they can convert in to full season tickets.

“It’s about getting more people in the stadium. It’s £16.50 per game, it’s six games for the price of four really.

“They are big games, we’ve got West Brom, Leeds, Bristol City, Swansea, and then Stoke and Reading, they’re all big games.”

The biggest crowd of the season is the 19,963 who watched the 1-1 draw with Preston last month, boosted by the visitors bringing in excess of 5,000 supporters.

The most home fans through the turnstiles came against Wigan on December, with Rovers cutting prices to £5 with the game moved to a Monday night to be screened live on Sky Sports, with 18,726 the crowd that night.

More than 25,000 were inside The Valley last weekend, including more than 2,000 from Rovers, as Charlton cut prices to £5.

But as Waggott knows, attendances will always be dictated by results on the pitch.

He added: “We went to Charlton and there were 25,000 inside the stadium, £5 a ticket, and yet the team didn’t turn up. That’s one of the perverse things, you lay it on and try and create more of an atmosphere with more fans in the ground and then, for whatever reason, it didn’t happen.

“The pressure is on but we need a 12th man environment and a big push because we have some big teams, with big budgets and squads, and we need every possible marginal gain and advantage we can get.”
