Average Away Followings This Season

[Midlands Yellow 3,986]

Obviously ours will take a dip on Wednesday but we normally have very decent numbers at Coventry to boost it back up. Anyone going to both matches before the dreaded International break?

Our numbers declined during the Hughton era and even during the good times with Farke haven’t recovered to the Lambert levels. Disappointing to see us languishing quite so low .

[TIL 1010 4,748]

Irrelevant until all games have been played and the miles clocked up travelling to far flung parts of the country.

To be fair we’ve had some long journeys in there, including Plymouth and several Yorkshire trips.  Pretty sure we sold the allocation at Rovrum and Plymouth.  
It’s not a meaningful stat on a sample of just 4 games.

Great effort by Plymouth fans though regardless how early into the season we are.

I don’t actually think I believe these figures.  Only league games should count for consistency’s sake - and per the match reports we took 2212 to Rotherham, 2100 to Saints, 1622 to Plymouth. I can’t see Hudds but for our average to be 1809 it would mean only 1300 were there, which seems rather low. I dare say if they are iffy for us they are for all, but an average of about 2000 is good for any side given the cost these days.

And  Sunderland fans must be that little bit bonkers…I wasn’t aware many grounds could take over 3800 away fans let alone it be their average (3605 were at Hillsborough for a Friday night)

Poor to see us so low in the table. I suspect this is something to do with Zoe Webber, corporate governance, minority shareholders not being able to enjoy a family day out, the away membership fee, resignation to our fate as a mid-table championship side (at best) and fans having to pay inflated travel prices to subsidise Delia’s aeroplanes and wine. And Tom’s Galway Roast deal. And Naismith. Probably.

I'm hoping not many people want to go to Sunderland away as I'm in group 5! As I'll be 10 miles away I'll go whatever. Just hope I can behave in the home end if it comes to that!

I hate sitting in the home end at away games. Better than nothing but having to sit on your hands is terrible.

Not another bloody international break...

Plymouth's capacity meant that was all we were allowed. We had three tickets and wanted one more but they were sold out.

Does the fourth person know how lucky they were?!

Exactly this. Means very little with such a small sample.
