Hmmmm not sure really. Tbh we were never going to take any more than 1,200 were we?

Why not? We should be taking at least 2,000 to West London.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but we were without a win in four games, and people might have been put off by not being able to buy tickets in the days leading up to the game. And tickets weren't exactly cheap for the view you get.

That's an arbitrary assumption - 1 in three of our (roughly) average home gate would make an away trip to a small club for an October fixture?. I'd say 1200 was about right. Now, had it been at the end of the season for a promotion/playoff/relegation 6 pointer, I'd probably agree with you. Not sure I'd have like to be in with another 800 fans though.

Being able to take a third of our home gate away is what distinguishes us from other clubs.

It was a below par following (numbers wise).

I remember an away leg in the League Cup against Layton Orient around 1999 when the attendance was exactly 4000. Always stuck in my head that.

In th 95/96 season, only 2 seasons off the Prem and a team looking good for the title, we sold out the lower and upper tiers, plus we also sold out about 1 block of the home stand.  Not sure what that is in numbers but I guess it would be our limit to what we should be expecting (and being 7th/8th this season we should have taken less than that).
