Just out of interest does anyone know how many we had at the last three away games.  I was at Walsall and reckon 600-700, and Exeter 500-600.  Missed Brentford.  I know they print the away following in the programme, but can't find the info anywhere on the net.

1,244 yesterday apparently. Exeter was 600 odd.

There were 735 at Walsall and 609 at Exeter. Add those figures together, deduct 100 (the minimum investment in £ required to remain as a shareholder) and the resultant figure will tell you how many we took to Brentford. Simple maffs innit ?

  It's been the same for a couple of years though. Our away following during our stint in League 2 was actually more impressive.

Hmmmm not sure really. Tbh we were never going to take any more than 1,200 were we? The only days I can see us getting close to 2,000 on are the later games in the season (if we are still up there) and Southampton and possibly Charlton.

The Gas took about 3k to Saints on a Tuesday night, surely we could match that on a Saturday?

I doubt it. Tbh i'd say the Gas are probably better supported than us on the road. It pains me to say it but it's true. Their support is normally up with healthy figures even for the Northern games. Plus it doesn't surprise me they took 3k to Southampton. They're 4th and of course most probably went to see Lambert. We'd struggle to take 3k anywhere in L1 unless it was a promotion game or big local derby with high stakes.

I reckon I could be forced in to sitting with the home fans - my dad and brother are Southampton supporters and we're all in their membership database as we used to go down there a few times a season. Mind you, it will be worth it as my brothers still 100% Southampton and watching him sit through the pain of the home game was great fun - especially him having to admit they were lucky not to go down 3-0.

Bristol Rovers took 1600 to Brentford, quite a few more than us. Their away support has always been good though.

As long as we're still playing well I'm sure we'll take at least 2500 to Southampton

Yes but rovers have made there best start in fuck knows how long, now the bubble has burst I bet by december when they are back in mid table there following will drop off.

If we are still in the top six when we play southampton we will take 3000.

If we are in the top 6 we will take 3000 to Leeds....are home crowds are showing that people are still not convinced...the next two matches are massive for the club in sense of crowd improvement...two wins would really put us close to the top and thats the only thing that will bring the missing thousands back..we are only 9 points behind top spot..the next two matches will be so important....Saturday reminded me of times past,if we could continue as we are it might remind a few stayaways of the past as well.
