Midlands Yellow 4,068 Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) 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? Average Away Following Club 3827 Sunderland 2663 Ipswich Town 2429 Sheffield Wednesday 2421 Coventry City 2264 Middlesbrough 2257 Leeds 2226 Birmingham City 2203 Plymouth Argile 2159 Leicester 2128 West Bromwich Albion 2016 Preston North End 1857 Watford 1846 Bristol City 1811 Southampton 1809 Norwich City 1534 Stoke City 1527 Queens Park Rangers 1356 Hull City 1343 Cardiff City 1256 Blackburn Rovers 1220 Swansea City 999 Millwall 995 Rotherham United 959 Huddersfield Town Edited October 2, 2023 by Midlands Yellow Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Highland Canary 76 Posted October 2, 2023 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 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,789 Posted October 2, 2023 Irrelevant until all games have been played and the miles clocked up travelling to far flung parts of the country. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Disappointing to see us languishing quite so low . 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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) Edited October 2, 2023 by Branston Pickle 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,261 Posted October 2, 2023 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. 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,231 Posted October 2, 2023 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had three tickets and wanted one more but they were sold out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
