For those that are interested in these sort of things here are the average league following in L2 this season so far after around 6 away games played for each side.

871​ Bradford City
849​ Swindon Town
827​ Tranmere Rovers
709​ Oldham Athletic
689​ Bristol Rovers
683​ Hartlepool United
580​ Mansfield Town
575​ Port Vale
541​ Walsall
475​ Rochdale
401​ Northampton Town
387​ Carlisle United
378​ Leyton Orient
360​ Barrow
330​ Exeter City
270​ Scunthorpe United
261​ Sutton United
253​ Newport County
193​ Colchester United
170​ Stevenage
156​ Salford City
149​ Forest Green Rovers
134​ Crawley Town
116​ Harrogate Town

Obviously if it wasnt for a few idiots at Stevenage we would have had the highest average in the division mostly because our away allocation at Rovers was cut to half its normal level and we had a fair few more in the home stads at Sutton from what I hear so the figures are a little skewed.

Still a great showing by Town fans though so far.

Where did you ge these from PV?

I would imagine the top 3 mirrors the home attendance table...

I dont have stats for that at the moment but it does appear that way pretty much.

It must be the first time ever at this stage of the season that the top 2 teams in the table are in the bottom 3 for away fans attendances.

Barrow>Exeter  :D

It is quite funny until you see the games they have played.

Barrow have played at Port Vale(130 miles), Bradford(90 miles) and Oldham(100 miles) so far are not too bad a trip from Barra.

Exeter so far have played at Crawley(185 miles), Harrogate(300 miles), Scunthorpe(285 miles), Stevenage(198 miles), Hartlepool(350 miles) and Barrow(333 miles)!

Cheers

Our average over 6 home league games is 8,806  ???

Edit. Agree with Posh. I've just added our crowds and got the same.

The figures I used were from transfermarket.com.

Slightly different ones wherever you look. Can’t be arsed to check them out

https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-two/attendances

I'd go with Horlocks. I can confirm our 8806 is correct.

We'd have a fair few more away if our away tickets were not getting capped and limited due to the fall out from Stevenage!

We'd be top. We probably are if you count those in home ends  :)

Also worth remembering that this season is Basra's fans first opportunity to visit a lot of away grounds in the FL. Got to admire them even more considering its an hours drive and 30+ miles to just get to the M6.

TBF they travelled fairly well when they were in the conference, a couple of times I found myself on the Saturday evening trains out of Lancaster when they were on their way home and they were like the old football specials!

I notice Newport we’re given, and sold, 1200 tickets for BRovers tomorrow.

More chance of trouble with that one than with us, I’d say.

Definately, if it wasn't for a few idiots at Stevenage we would easily have sold that many if not more.

I obviously missed this... what penalty exactly did we get after Stevenage?

Where have you been hiding 😃.

Reduced ticket allocations.  At rovers we only had about half of our usual at Northampton it was also reduced.

Rovers is the only game I've missed all season, to say I was pissed off is an understatement

Short attention span I suppose...🤔 I guess I knew there was some kind of penalty in place but what exactly and for how long?

It's not an official penalty but it increased the cost of policing so that over a certain allocation it's just not financially viable.

Having said that the vegans and Sutton both seemed to oversell our end by a hundred or so!

Do you have any figures for this season JJ

Will have a check but I am sure I can find them.

My usual source doesn't have the figures currently will post when I can find them.

It doesnt add up for me.

I mean i understand away tickets being capped but Millwall and Leeds would only have 100 tickets per match if that was a rationale!

For the 20 league games so far, our average is 724.

I think it comes down to weighing up extra police costs and extra stewarding vs the extra revenue from the extra fans coming through the turnstyles.

Cheers JJ

Sorry mate, I'll get them to you by the weekend  ;)

It doesn't usually take you that long to spew stuff out  :)

It's the amount he writes that holds things up COYR

You know all about "hold-ups" it appears  ;)


Touché. I must also remember to keep my word count in check. I know the TEF consensus struggles with anything more than 100 words :thumb:

I'm sure JB zzzzzzzzzzzzz enjoys your dissertations

Mods - I am being bullied

You've been told to keep away from the bus station on match days :moped:

Oi, can you even begin to imagine the drudgery for supporters on a coach having to drive 70 miles past Gordano Services, there and then back again, for EVERY single away game in a season ? Course you can't, and Barrow only have to do it the once !  :D Pah

Look on the bright side you will have a nice drive along the A34 next season😀

Not enough in my opinion you big bald fuck

Cheers mate I couldnt find it.

Cheers gents it's aways nice to see the away figures and surprising that Bristol Rovers have beat us to second place.

Helped by the fact we were generous with tickets, on the other hand......
Plus we'll regain 2nd come the last game of the season.

Maybe but they are looking at taking similar amounts to port vale on Easter Monday and have sold over 1300 for Tranmere tomorrow

I am sure no matter what the last day of the season talking 3,500 to Walsall will even that figure up a fair bit.

Cheers posh red. Is that info easily assessable or do you also have contacts as it would be nice to look at all the leagues.

I keep records of our league, so don't have the numbers for other divisions.

Ok no worries
