Well our home average was higher this season than last season despite finishing 4 places lower in the table, probaby bolstered by the final game of the season vs Notts County but still higher none the less. Town had the 5th highest average in the league of 6,390 (6,380 last season). Top attendances by average. Lincoln City 9,005 Franchise 8,223 Notts County 7,357 Tranmere Rovers 6,540 Swindon Town 6,427 Northampton Town 5,100 Mansfield Town 4,897 Some more figures, unashamedly borrowed from onefootballforum. Average away followings - Quantity of 1,000+ away followings by month - Highest and lowest away following at each club - Home average attendance with net home average attendance (attendance - away fans) - Interesting to see that we were the 5th lowest visited ground for away fans this season with only Exeter, Yeovil, Newport, Grimsby and Colchester having less away fans travelling to them. All in all another decent season for home and away support considering where we actually finished in the table, with the 5th highest home average and the 7th highest away following.

Well, we know where we're goin' But we don't know where we've been And we know what we're knowin' But we can't say what we've seen And we're not little children And we know what we want And the future is certain Give us time to work it out

Cheers for that, like to read these sort of stats.
Interesting how we 5th lowest visited ground considering there are a lot worse and ours is relatively close to the town centre.

Presumably many are put off by the cost...

I predict the novelty factor to wear off at Lincoln over the next couple of seasons

Well spotted. Who knows what other inaccuracies could be in there?

Probably not many the bloke does this every year. Take it up with him on the original site. https://www.onefootballforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/league-2-away-support-thread-2018-2019.8/Utter bollocks comment. You like google. google the facts.
Agreed, our away prices are now in line with most teams, certainly for seating which they get at the County Ground. Its fucking bollocks that we are dearer than any other team, if we are dearer then its by not more than £1 at most.

So our £23 is the most expensive albeit not by much....

Can’t see people being put off by a couple of quid - even though that might have been better spent on gruel.
Maybe, being a northern biased league, it was the distance.

Possibly, however often these things are perception based, our price has been high for a number of years, and the others are now catching up, once you have a reputation it can be hard to shift.

Again, when I decide, or not, to go to an away game the ticket price is the least of my concerns. If you want to go, you go.
Interesting that our attendances didn’t slide at all.
