be great if someone could create a chart which details the number of fans per mile - based on the assumption that all supporters travel from their home ground!! May be a better indication of who is best supported as its far easier for midland and northern fans to travel away.

Barnsley - 1,138

Ipswich - 1,165

Leicester - 2,682

Burnley - 1,155

Derby - 2,611

Reading - 4,203

 

Average - 2,159

 

No figures for Cardiff but I think we were given about 1,800. A few empty seats around where I was, so I'm guessing about 1700 approx. No figures for Swindon in the CC either but we filled the entire side bit which holds 1200 and had 3 or 400 hundred behind the goal.

 

Should take atleast 2,500 to Cov if not 3k. Bristol City at the end of November will sell out too, maximum away allocation is 2800.

Considering our geography gives us a distinct disadvantage compared to the others, that's very good.

 

I remember reading something in the old Ugly Inside fanzine many years ago, there was a comparison between the amount of miles Southampton fans travelled away over a season compared to (I think it was) Leicester, and we did nearly twice as many miles as them. It's a doddle for midlands clubs.

Yeah you have to factor in how many more miles we have to travel. Shout out should go to Carlisle i think, over 800 considering the journeys they face, which they've done so many times.
Looking through the Cov programme on the train home on Sat, there were some disgustingly bad away attendances listed.

Watford only taking 849 up there, Reading took 815, both on Saturdays. Cov took 183 to M'Boro, 185 to Ipswich, 225 to Leeds. The last two were midweek, but that's still dire no matter how bad their side is doing.

 

Terrible followings! Even if it is one of the less attractive aways to say the least.

Blackpool - 2,053

Crystal Palace - 5,820

 

Average of 2,281. This does not include the Skates, West Ham and Hull which I've been unable to find any official figures for. Skates & WH I'd probably guess at 3k which brings the average up to approx 2,353. Not sure about the Hull game, think I read rumours of about 600?

 

Have to say our away following this season has been very impressive IMO. Only 1 (2 if you count Hull) attendances under 1000, and the majority 2000+.

On five live yesterday the commentator mentioned that the Skates had 800 odd fans at Doncaster and what a great effort that was given the distance! It amazes me how their mythical support is considered to be anything more than decidedly average.

Anyone got the figures from this season, or know how we can find them?

 

thefootballforums.net have a thread for away attendances but only in the Championship and League 1/2 sections, but nothing for the Prem. Our OS used to give us our away attendance in match reports last season too which seems to have stopped now.
