Yet again we were in the top 5 average home attendances in league 2 this season for the 3rd year in a row albeit attendances are going down by around of 600 per season on average.

2021-22 2nd highest with 9,790
2022-23 3rd highest with 9,064
2023-24 5th highest with 8,483

We finished with higher averages than all the play off finalists and higher than promoted Mansfield too. We also had more than double the average of 9 clubs.

In such a shit, underperforming season, thats pretty amazing and is way higher than the club currently deserve under the circumstances IMO.

It absolutely blows my mind that nobody super rich has bought Bradford. That must be the most underachieving club in the entire country.

Absolutely, massive fanbase in Britains 4th largest city by population(including neighbours Leeds).

Although they only pay something like £249 per season ticket thats still an amazing turnout, even if for many games less than half actually turned up in person. Even if we sold season tickets at the same reduced rate we wouldnt get anywhere near that figure.

We haven't got enough seats  :)

£198 for a season ticket. They've sold about 13,500 for next season in the early bird window. It's £300 to buy onw noe which must still be among the cheapest in the league.

Shitheads will argue that one...

Take away our away following to these clubs and their figures would naturally be less. Not significantly but less none the less.

Also worth noting that the Midland/Northern clubs have less distance to travel so get more away fans attending.

True, also doesn’t help that we were amongst the most expensive ticket for away fans.

Greedy Clem🤣

We had the 10th average away following this season, so whilst this has some truth, there are other teams to which this applies more.

I can't believe Gillingham and Grimsby average more away fans than us. Thought we'd be top 6 easily. Still I suppose Grimsby are a bit more central than us

I can’t remember if anyone posted the travelling distance for league 2 clubs for 23/24 season🤔

Understandable when you consider most of L2 is northern, plus our performances…

Worst away form in the league. We'll take loads to Vale next season  :)

Probably limit our allocation on police advise🤣

Yeah,but not Bloody Gillingham!

No but Gills were flying high/mid early season and that inflated their away attendances somewhat. We just had a decent 1st 4 or 5 away games then it tailed off.
