The scramble for tickets for Bristol Rovers' clash with Newport County on Saturday is evidence of the momentum behind the club, Joey Barton believes.
The Gas will be backed by a sold-out away allocation of 1,100 at Rodney Parade on Saturday, with demand far outweighing supply and many Gasheads have been hopefully searching for spares and resales on social media this week to back their team on Saturday.
Rovers have taken more points than any other League Two club in 2022 to surge into promotion contention, and attendances have received a boost as a result of the growing optimism surrounding the club. The visit of Exeter City last Saturday was played in front of a sold-out crowd close to 9,700 – the biggest attendance at the Mem since 2019 – and a sizable crowd of 6,685 attended the victory over Barrow on Tuesday considering fewer than 100 away fans made the long journey from Cumbria.
