Is there a comparable list for the amount of miles each team had to travel. Not making excuses for us, just would like to see if someone like Bradford's is really that impressive
As an away only addicks, attendances seemed up all year. Especially the second half. Atmosphere has improved loads as well, with a real vocal core. Long may it continue.

Plymouth are miles out in front. Their average away journey is at least 100 miles more than half of the division. Only Sunderland are within 65 miles of their average journey distance.
Fans x Average Miles. In itself it's pretty meaningless except that it should provide a ranking that will give some indication of how well each team is doing in relation to each other. ie. bigger numbers are better than smaller numbers, but actual numbers don't tell us much.
The relative lack of large away grounds in London and the Home Counties would have affected our figure a bit, but it's still disappointing really, only 111 more than Oxford who are hardly known for their massive support, and well below Luton.
833 for Plymouth is a stunning number though considering the distance they had to travel AND that is was a relegation season!

its 02.45 in Barbados and I must have felt something wake me up for this thread ....
otherwise the IBS has kicked in after half a dozen Banks beers
For us, we had some very decent away followings this season and a 1k average at L1 level is good.
Your right BTW
