Playoffs 2016

[Peter Venkman]

True, though Plymouth would probably bring about 2k given that they haven't been here for a while, and we're their equivalent of a local derby.

Plymouth do not have a great away following, only once in 30 years have they brought more than 1,300 and that was in 2003 when they were 2nd in the league.

Fair point, though in recent times (with the exception of the one-off to which you refer) we always seem to have played them either on a Tuesday, or in April when their season is all but over.

It'd be interesting to see, anyway. The safe bet is that Accrington would bring about 99 if they were to come up, so LP probably isn't so keen on that prospect.

Argyle usually bring a decent number, if it's not midweek or something, just because it's 2 1/2 hours on the M5/4, not the usual slog.  They'd have loved Div 3 N this season.

You'd have thought the Devon clubs were begging for FGR's promotion ahead of Grimsby.

Alas...

Yeah, I always thought of Plymouth and Carlisle as having pretty reasonable support. Being such footballing outposts, I always imagined it to be something of a badge of honour if you support those Clubs, to go everywhere with them.

I know a few Carlisle supporters and they don't travel away, in fact when Carlisle were playing In Preston earlier this year they were over the moon as it made getting to games so much easier for them!

Probably true, but the bigger picture is that we've lost:

Wigan
Burton
Millwall / Bradford / Barnsley / Walsall [probably Millwall]
Crewe
Colchester
Doncaster
Blackpool

and gained:

Bolton
Charlton
Franchise
Northampton
Pox
Rovers
Plymouth / Wimbledon / Accrington

Even if Accrington get promotion, Power shouldn't be too disappointed about potential away ticket sales next season.

I can't be arsed to look myself, but I wonder how away attendances at the CG for 15/16 compared with recent seasons? I may be hopelessly way out, but this recent season did look pretty poor, and with good reason.

Our Average this season was 7409, with 517 away fans,
compared to
7926 (483) in 2014/15,
8130 (611) in 2013/14,
8529 (439) in 2012/13,
8411 (503) in 2011/12,
8455 (678) in 2010/11,
8389 (827) in 2009/10   (This season we had Leeds (3336), Norwich (2826) & Southampton (2995)

So about 500 less than last season (which considering the league position is not a surprise), but over a thousand less than when we got relegated in 2010/11. Although I guess the inflated number of Season Tickets hides the actual number of people going

If you added in a Bristol City and say Wolves or Leeds and we'd be back to around 8k so the majority of movement centres around who we have in the league. 09/10 was play-offs but had Norwich, Rovers, Southampton, Leeds etc who all brought a few.
Even in 10/11 we had Brighton, Southampton, Sheff Wednesday, Plymouth etc who all used some of the bank. We just haven't had those sort of teams this season which is the main reason for the dip.

Surprised its held up so well TBH

Cracking game at Brighton

Kind of reinforces my opinion that the vast majority of the big moaners saying they won't go anymore never went regularly in the first place.
Next season with Oxford and Rovers our average will be about 8k at least!

[Super Hans]

Enjoy the pain Brighton 

[tans]

Unlucky Brighton. Bet you wished you had Adam Virgo now

[theakston2k]

Brighton seem to be a very obnoxious and ill disciplined unit epitomised by Lewis Dunk and that Bruno twat at right back. All their fans are now blaming the FA for not overturning a red card against Middlesbrough that left a hole in the 'Boro players shin. Good to see them fail again!
