    I think this might well be the lowest away of the season, I'd guess 300.

    Weather could be an issue as well. The forecast is vague, but it could be +9c or -9c !!

    Stayed in Clitheroe for a long weekend the last time I went up to Blackburn, we had a blinding weekend and a fantastic pub crawl around the neighbouring villages, lovely countryside up there too.

    Will tickets be on sale on the day? With the issue over the weather, I might just get ours when we get up there.

    £25 for me and my partner's boy against £50 for us at Palace.

    And we get to sit in a decent stand.

    As far as the pitch is concerned there is undersoil heating at Ewood Park. But it doesn't look like there will be heavy snow there though.

    Shameful turnout - Palace took 11k to an equivalent fixture. Hopefully Ooh Aah has some more fascinating stats on the subject.

    Apparently we've got the worst away support in the entire universe.

    Yeah to be fair we've played them two dull north west sides so many times in the last ten years, Millwall not been to either for Donkeys. Next season they'll be lucky to reach 300 at either of them.

    I always think it's a bit misleading, as a fair number of the away supporters will probably be living in London anyway, whether working or studying, I'm sure there are more Hull/Carlisle/Burnley supporters living in London, than Charlton fans living up there.

    Very good point which confirms that there are ''Lies, damned lies, and statistics"; a phrase describing the persuasive power of numbers, particularly the use of statistics to bolster weak arguments :-o
